Hej guys! my status in guild is casual, so i am not raiding atm. I only raid some pugs and try to improve my gear as best as I can. Momentarely I am getting Crusader's Dragonscale Bracers - Spell - World of Warcraft done. You maybe have any advice what more to improve?

this is my armory link:

The World of Warcraft Armory

thank you

and also

I get aprox +50 dps more from femaldwarf if I put 2 points from Hunting party and 1 point from Expose weaknes and put the into Improved stings? so the new spec would be 0/18/53

what do you say about that?

It is not so much that the majority of our damage comes from ES or ChS, as it is that the entirety of our _burst_ comes from those sources. Burst is supposed to be bursty. When 25-50% of that burst is getting partially resisted, our damage flattens out in a predicatble, easy to heal through way.

75 is a good number. 130 is another. You should gear for the biggest advantage against team compositions your comp is weak against. For example, if you're a survival hunter, and are having a hard time with shaman teams(that are using fire resist totem!! Not all of them do), you should get 130 spell pen to completely counteract fire resist. If you look around on Arena Junkies, you'll see top rated MM and SV hunters all have somewhere between 75 and 130 spellpen. Epic gems have made going a little higher less of a pain. BM is almost burstless to begin with, and much less reliant on magic damage(just arcane shot, maybe a sting or 2), and so they tend not to gem in this way.

The BEST source of spell pen, point for point, is the 35 spell pen to cloak enchant. In gem sockets, you're looking at a 1/1 conversion with agi or some other stat you value.

I am currently using this build Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft with one point removed from Resourcefullness and put into Improved Stings since I recently aquired the 2pc T9 bonus set. According to the spreadsheet, if I remove the point from Improved Stings and Aimed Shot and puts those points into 3/3 Resourcefullness and 3/3 Hunting Party I will see a 1dps increase if I replace Aimed Shot with Multi-Shot in my rotation. What would be the downside to that build and using Multi-Shot? I fell like I am missing something.

Am I missing something with point of no escape in the patch notes? The claimed new version is the version we have now, and the supposed "old version" is different. Does that mean it will maybe be going to a straight crit buff? Or is this just a big misprint all together?

As far as dropping aimed shot for MS goes I would not do it. Just because a spreadsheet gives you theory-crafted numbers that are better does not mean it's your best real world spec. The fact that aimed shot is an instant cast and can be fired on the run is more than enough reason to pick it up. Add to that the fact that it will not break CC and the debuff it applies makes it a must have for me. Fights like Faction Champions, Anub Arak, etc make it awesome. Especially if you run ten mans and do not always have that warrior/rogue.

Also aimed shot benefits from the sniper training buff while multi-shot does not.

As far as I know, instead of doing what the tooltip says, PoNE currently gives you the crit bonus on all targets as long as you have something under the effect of your Freezing Trap/Arrow or Frost Trap. Therefore, you can freeze an add and get the crit bonus on the boss. I assume the patch note means that they are making PoNE do what the tooltip says.

I think the change to PoNE is that currently it increases crit chance of all attack (that means everybody, not just you) on the target if it's affected by one of the tree traps. The change will make it so that only your attacks will have increased crit chance, essentially nerfing it.

Use Aimed shot if there is only one mob, or if you need the healing debuff. Use Multi if the attack will hit at least two mobs (iirc on faction champions multishot has the damage penalty though, so never use it there).

As far as the other shots go, I've been prioritizing serpent sting over black arrow due to 2t9. The rest is the same as your own.

Just curious, with the changes to the Tier sets it seems like ArP is more valued over haste. So knowing we usually try to get enough haste to reduce SS to 1.5 gcd, it seems to me that gimping some haste for more ArP is the way to go?

My SSs are around 1.7 in speed, yet ArP remains miles ahead of Haste. Haste is just not very good for us regardless.

With my stats and being far below haste cap haste is still almost half what arp and crit are worth.

Has anyone considered forgoing haste completely and doing only 2 shots in between explosive shots? With gear available it's certainly possible to gear away from haste and have maybe ~100 haste rating at most. Gearing this way is preferable because of the poor returns on haste, and overall would be a dps increase naturally. This would put your steady shots at a 1.68 cast time, plus 3% from in raid if you have a ret paladin/moonkin. This means that if you had downtime on multi/aimed and dots that using 3 steady shots would delay your explosive shot by almost .6 seconds. Since my explosive shot does roughly 4.5 times the damage of my steady shot(and this also saves mana) it might be worthwhile to consider. Latency is also a factor, and could delay your steady shots even further.
