2.1.0 Patch Notes

[Treesh]

Ok, all great, all knowing of hunters god Lissa, you have me convinced that I don't know anything at all about hunters. So, tell me what I'm doing wrong.

On a good night/fight, I consider it well done if I am able to maintain 750-800dps (with pet). That generally means I've been buffing well and am well potted, too. So, what can I bring to a raid that'll boost my teammates by 300-400dps so you, as RL, will feel I'm worth my spot. Hell, if I could boost folks by 300-400dps, I'd feel I was contributing too, though I'd not call myself a "dps class" but a support class.

Here's me in the Armory, in my usual Instance/Raid set: http://armory.worldofwarcraft.com/#charact...rmrage&n=Mirajj

Here's a special tag with my spiffy stats: http://wow.tachyonsix.com.nyud.net:8080/ar.../53626HFsEm.png
So please tell me and guide me. What am I missing here? What could I change so that you, as RL, would view my 750 or so dps as valuable to the raid? What would, other than MD, make you want to bring me over a class (any of them) that can do 1300 dps without too much trouble? I really am truely curious.

Well, paperdoll-wise, sacrificing what you have to get your big RAP numbers, it still shows your DPS as only 279.3. GG's (since I know he is still topping damage charts) has him at 294.9 DPS. RAP isn't the end-all-be-all for hunters, even Marks. Mainly, it's a gear choice (even with the crappy itemization that Blizzard has) that's holding you back, just from looking at the armory. I won't even speculate on shot cycles and timing them well, or anything of that. Just plain paperdoll DPS, you're behind on gear despite having access to more gear. It may be time for a lot of hunters to rethink the whole "max RAP!" idea. We've seen it infect the hunters over on Terenas too and they can't keep up with GG on damage, despite the whole "I've got more RAP!" deal.
