Here's a question that came to me only after much thought:
Since a large part of a MM hunter's damage comes from Serpent Sting and Chimera Shot, would a few points of Spell Pen benefit those shots similarly to Armor Pen benefiting Auto, Steady, and Aimed?

Here's a question that came to me after some thought:
Since Armor pen is an effective stat for our physical damage (auto, steady, and aimed) is it worth getting any spell pen for our non-physical damage (serpent sting, chimera, arcane, and volley)?

Has anyone find a solution for when you use the BT/UA macro the runes dont get fucked up?

my rotaiton is something like:

IT>PS>Ob>BS>Pest>(FSx3)>obx3>(FSx2)>Obx2>BS>(Bt/UA)>Pest

and then just (FSx3)>obx3>(FSx2)>Obx2>BS>(Bt/UA)(whenavaible)>Pest


MY Macro is:

#showtooltip Unbreakable Armor
/cast Blood Tap
/cast Unbreakable Armor
/cast Raise Dead
/run if UnitBuff("player","Unbreakable Armor") then CancelUnitBuff("player","Blood Tap") end


sometimes it works fine but 90% of the time instead of having 2 death runes after it for the 3 obliterates i have 1 blood and 1 death, any reason why this happens? why it doesnt happen all the time? ideas to fix it? is the macro wrong?



thanks

I think it's because of when you BT>UA rather than actually your macro. Blood Tap will instantly activate your blood rune on the longest cooldown, so if you have two blood runes up, use one to BS, and then run your macro, you'll end up with one blood rune up and one death rune on cooldown. What I'd do if I were you is BS > Pest and then pop your macro. That should work fine.

Even better (or, safer, depending on how you want to look at it): BT > UA after you Oblit through your two death runes. Then if one comes back as a normal blood rune it won't matter, because your next use of those two runes is going to be for a BS > Pest.

Not really, that would put your rune on cooldown right before you need it.

I was thinking:

(FSx3)>obx3>(Bt/UA)(when available)>(FSx2)>Obx2>BS>Pest

The whole point is to use blood tap as close to when the blood rune you're converting is initially used as possible. Thus, if your second of the three oblits used your 2nd death rune, I'd Bt/UA right then, and then do the 3rd Oblit.

As for macro syntax, I'm not really familiar with the /run portion. My macro is:

/cast blood frenzy
/cast Blood Tap
/cast Unbreakable Armor

Looks like this should be basically the same result.

removed /run if UnitBuff("player","Unbreakable Armor") then CancelUnitBuff("player","Blood Tap") end l, and now all works fine

The quick and dirty answer is no. Arp removes armor which every target has, while spell pen reduces resistances which are pretty much nil in wrath. Spell pen is useful for pvp because of mark of the wild and the resistances some races have. Most bosses don't have spell resistances, so spell pen is useless in pve.

I'm unsure whether I should reply to this or not,but if you're doing 6.000 DPS in ICC gear (assuming full raid buffs) you should probably stop trying to use rend and focus on doing the main part of the rotation correctly.

Between Rawr and Magegraf. Which is better? Or are they similar?
