since i'm too lazy to look up the other thread that has the discussion - how do the new dps trinkets stack up for hunters? i passed on a kiss of the spider today because i didn't want to whore the dps trinkets, and i was curious how the haste stacks up against the +ap given rotational concerns.

I was thinking a solution Blizzard might impliment might involve something like this, but instead of banking a shot just banking the damage and adding it to aimed shot as a damage bonus. So any autoshot that would have fired during the aimed shot's casting time would be added to aimed shot's damage. If it's too "overpowered" they could reduce aimed shots normal damage bonus a bit (from 600 to 500 or something).

Please post one for the 'Larvae of the Great Worm' please. 3.0 speed.

I've thought about that too actually, or adding extra damage to the auto-shot depending on how long it got banked, problem is, then suddenly, it will be popular to hit AS imediatly before an auto-shot, to make the banking last longer. Unless they add the damage based on weapon speed, so the only way to not lose any would be to still have perfect cycle timing.

Here is my situation:
I am a dwarf supposedly firing Fahrad's Reloading Repeater with a 13% quiver, 2.83 speed in the character sheet.
However I have to extend every cycle by about .1-.3 seconds or my 3rd auto-shot will not fire, due to precharge time. Here it is, without precharge:

0.00 Auto shot fires
0.00 Start aimed shot
3.00 Aimed shot fires
3.00 Auto shot fires
5.83 Auto shot fires
8.66 Auto shot fires

+ Multi shot

I have yet to /combatlog and check the exact time of precharge but it has to be greater than .34 seconds, or I would not have to delay my cycle. Quite interesting as it changes my optimal weapon speed from 3.4 to 3.1-3.2 something.

Edit: I might add, I have between 4 and 10 FPS in raids if its of any importance for the precharge animation

Slightly off-topic but certainly not worthy of its own thread..

Does any hunter actually try to keep Serpent Sting up at all times? Or is it simply too mana inefficient and it will hurt your DPS over time?

EDIT: Doh, just saw the Hunter Utility thread. Was stated as being a waste of mana there, but still, I'd like to hear people's opinions!

Regardless of DPS hunter stings are a waste due to taking a debuff slot.

changed to 3.00 again? also top end has been lowered.

They never updated any of the changes made, they've had it listed as 3.00 since it was implemented. The speed should be 3.20 now.

CT Profiles has it at 3.0 as well, which I don't like when doing my potential phat loots profile :'(

Hopefully they update it soon :)

Ctprofiles don't have kel's neck, nor the 50ap 1crit 1hit ring. I hate it! Ruins my wishlist! :P
