Anyone know how to setup This Routine Perfect for Pve Raid? My Hunter 573 - Dps 280-340k Is very low for this gear...
Simcraft told me 380k should go with this gear..
I sorta have the same problem with my 577 hunter. Some of the changes I make to the default raid settings include:
1) turning off auto-deterrence and auto-feign death (as those are useful to do manually). Also turn off auto-eat. Not sure why that would be a default option.
2) put burst on cooldown - not cooldown (boss) (though this may not be preferred, just felt it was skipping a lot of good spells when I switched to adds)
3) add Engineering profession proc to burst
4) make sure use explosive trap for dps and ice trap to proc lock and load are checked. However, I've noticed in raiding it never shoots ice trap automatically. It will on a test dummy but not in a raid. Maybe that's because in a raid you've got all the other buffs up so important spells like explosive shot trigger before the CR can get to ice trap - I dunno. Maybe it's because of our high ilvl. I've even switched on shoot ice trap at enemy group within 30 yards but that doesn't do it.) Additionally, I've found it is good but not great at keeping black arrow up on a boss. So that means if black arrow falls off for awhile and you're not tossing ice traps, you won't get lock and load as much as you should - that's a big DPS loss right there. So I try to manually hit black arrow on cooldown.
5) I've experimented with "turn off auto-aoe" when I've wanted to focus more on boss damage (like on heroic garrosh). Sorta unclear to me how much of a difference that makes. I wish you could bind that command to a key so you could do it in battle - Tuan, would that be possible?
6) I sort of wish you could put burst on demand but that doesn't seem to be an option. Would be handy on the interphase realms on heroic garrosh where my damage usually sucks as sv.
7) I bind binding shot and ice trap to keys so I can try to CC or proc load & load manually.
Hope that helps! If you find any other good tips, let me know. Seems most folks on here are excited about PvP but I use this exclusively for raiding.
