Isn't this the same thing that happened to hunters pre-TBC? Arcane shot was nerfed, Aimed Shot was changed to reset Auto Shot, and Auto Shot was given the goofy mechanics because in that period...

Alright, I got some numbers now. First spec is 0/31/30, then 0/51/10. I ran three tests for each spec, with procs, hit cooldowns, used a pet (wolf), ran until OoM. Which generally meant about...

Well I know why there was so much more AP (Hunter vs. Wild + Lighting Reflexes), what I can't seem to understand is why all that increased AP didn't seem to affect average shot damage. But like I...

So, I was doing some testing in Thunder Bluff (since there's much less people than in Org) and I was comparing a 0/31/30 spec vs. 0/51/10. The actual results/numbers aren't really important, I don't...

So, I tried out a 0/31/30 spec on my hunter (primarily in BT/MH T6 gear, not adequately gemmed) and self-buffed I have 38% agi and 2900 RAP (TSA/AotH). Crit was about normal from before I took a...

Well, I think a lot more people will get Combat Experience now with it being 3/6% Agi and Int, so Int will be slightly better than that (depending on spec, of course). Plus, with Hunter vs. Wild,...

The way I've always seen the 2.3 autoshot cast time is that any shot queued up during that time is just held off until autoshot itself goes off, this goes for instants as well.

How useful is Armor Pen? Would 2x Blade of Infamy be better than 2x Dagger of Bad Mojo. Overall it'd be 14 more Agi, and 32 more AP at the loss of 280 Armor Pen.
