ok so i have been looking a bit into it and i cant find much on hunter PVP in 4.0.3 im curious to see what spec is best for battlegrounds and i would like to know a bit more about hunter pvp in general

Here is my info:

»Hotassassin @ Duskwood - Game - World of Warcraft

I am looking for advice on gear I need to go after, glyphs (if i need to switch them), enchants I need to get people to do for me, gems I need to purchase, and what I should reforge to get more damage when I am going through dunegons, PVP, and raiding. And what rank the stats are in order. Like agility hit, crit, mastery, expertise, and haste.. I basically need to know what to focus on.

I'm currently trying to PVP to get better item level gear to start doing heroics to get that gear but I need to learn what is best to have for my class and talent build.

Appreciate help coming from people who have played combat rogues and know what is important to have to increase damage and work towards having a better character all-around.

Thank you.

Yikes, I''m Combat, and I hardly ever use SnD.

fair enough, =D

Isn't the idea of shield block mitigating high amounts on AoE packs a carryover from when shield block mitigated a fixed value? With the 30/60% mitigation a block gives now, surely it provides the same mitigation on an AoE pack as it would on a single target.

will an early combustion result in a dps increase ??
maybe start casting Pyroblast at inc within 3sec then cast LB + scorch
or should i wait till Pyroblast! procs?

As far as I know, Reflective Shield only accounts for your PW:S on yourself.

You can test execute phase mechanics on the Melee target dummy out in the Argent Tourny grounds, which show that haunt does indeed add the extra damage to corr now.

ANY sort of damage increase debuff (SE, Haunt, CoE) apply per tick. I am not sure about the % crit debuff though, as it didn't used to update per tick and it was a good idea to make sure the 5% crit was up before dotting.

Any sort of damage increasing BUFF needs to be updated via haunt for corr, and under some conditions Fel Flame for UA.

The OP already mentions HS, where's the inaccuracy?

For Halfus make sure to ask your friendly Warlock for Dark Intent.

Another tip is for Chogall: A neat trick is that you allow your self to be corrupted as fast as possible. IE when the first add is dead stand in the black pool so you get 100 points of corruption. You when become a faceless and you do 100% more damage done and all your spells are instant. The issue is that you will vomit on people, you will shadowbolt them and you cant be healed. But casting instant pyroblast and getting ignite up to 30K is a worth it. You can iceblock one shadow aoe attack in order to live longer. I had something like 30K dps during phase 1 but we did not manage to kill Chogall regardless and did not take logs for it. But will do next week. You need to die before the second phase begins so save you Evocation for after the battle ress. This way it is possible to enter phase 2 before the fourth adds spawns.

This belongs in the Simple Q&A portion.

1) You aren't enchanted... You aren't really gemmed properly... You have HIT gear... You have resilience gear (ok if you have nothing without resilience but remember it is taking the place of something else)... You don't have a lot of Spirit pieces.

2) Always be casting isn't necessarily the answer. When mana constrained it definitely isn't.

3) Archangel doesn't regen all the mana spent to Smite so it isn't a "true regen tool". If your smite healing is effective then it can be better than casting Heal when used properly. You only pop AA when you need the buffed healing or if you are going to stop Smiting long enough that the stack will fall.

4) 76k iirc is pretty low for Disc even at heroic gear. Some things to consider are you: using PW:S timed to maximize Rapture procs, using fiend very early and then again late in boss fights, overhealing a lot, using IF on CD, and healing people through the avoidable damage.

5) Renew isn't all that great for Disc. In fact it isn't even on my bar.
