Pfft.

You out-DPSed an Affliction warlock on a fight that, in common practice, (your raid’s mileage may vary, of course) suggests non-use of DoTs that can’t be overwritten because they can cause aggro management issues during the tank transitions.

/golfclap

/wink

Anyway, that might explain to the rest of the class why the Affliction lock may have “forgotten” half his DoTs.

Are there mobs immune to windfury or something? I can’t figure why the Enh shammy is using flametongue weap and windfury. Should be WFx2. I could be missing something, why I ask.

You could probably keep your pet in on Leo during his human phase if you are using a boss timer (and you are ofc!), simple pull the pet out 1-2 seconds before the timer runs out like the rest of the melee, and he will be fine.
Leo ain’t that melee friendly fight in general, as there is only a few seconds dpsing him between some whirlwinds… but then melee won’t wipe the raid by grabbing aggro (*cough* lousy warlocks *cough*), they will just die

Oh wow Onslaughtz nice tip lol. My pet only got hit like 1 or 2 times with WW ( wasn’t really paying attention) when we used to do him but it’s a real nice tip to the hunters who are about to do the fight.

Oh yeah moro, like someone said earlier is a pretty boring fight depending on your strat. At first before we got a prot pally I used to lay down frost traps. After we got the prot pally though I stopped doing that and the whole fight for me consisted of using my macro and….well using my macro and mana pots lol.

One good thing about is that you could get some pretty high single target dps on moro.

Just a tip thou. If the pet gets the bleed effect, you can unsummon it. When you resummon it , it should come back full health. ( Try waitin for the timer to end before resummoning )

Dear BRK,
my guild is starting Kara soon, and I suggested the SWAPS thing to them, but it seems to be too much writing for the guild leader, how does your guild do the SWAPS thing? I would really apreciate an answer,
sincerely, Bestsurviver & IcyGlare

Leo is always a fun fight for hunters. I usually keep my pet with my until demon phase and after he enrages, and I still do plenty fine dps. Not saying you don’t though =P

For me, the WWS reports are more of a check to see how the other hunters in my guild are doing. There are sometimes when you can see glaring problems (i.e. we have a huntard who does not use steady shot at all, she says it gimps her playstyle..lol) and other times you can see things that need minor adjustments. A good example was a guild hunter who doing great DPS but not being able to sustain it throughout a whole boss encounter due to mana problems, showing him some minor tweaks to his rotations, getting him to burn more specialty items, and recommending a few addons, he is now providing great dps throughout the whole encounter.

Advice on how to read the WWS reports: go to the WWS forums, great tutorial up there. Most importantly, don’t be intimidated by all the numbers, you only need to be concerned with a few of them and do not need to be a math geek to figure it out.

A guildie started posting these on my guild’s forum. I’m with you Val. I haven’t a complete clue how to read these things when I’m on Gimmlette. BUT, when I run my Discipline priest, it seems clear.

I’m curious, BRK. How has running these stats changed your shot rotation or reinforced that something you were doing is correct?

And on a complete side note, ran a WSG BG last night. I hate that place but I go because my guild’s #1 MM hunter is a friend and he loves it. We topped the BG damage. He edged me out for #1 with two more kills, but we were pretty even the whole game.

At one point, the two druids on the team gave up trying to help the warriors and the rogues and started following the two of us around. Finally, one of them said, “I am glued to you guys. You know what you’re doing and are damn good hunters.” When I said, “Well, I read BRK so I can’t take credit for learning this on my own.”, one druid said, “Ah…of course. No wonder you guys are so good.”

/blush, preen, kill horde and buy BRK several rounds.
