Gawd I hate you Etri.... :tongue:

Sustained 950 DPS from both of you would give me sexual arousal. Make it happen!

Tweaking my shot rotation...

I'm going to try removing multi-shot from my rotation (except for hydross adds and trash) at this point. Back when I used it in my Marksman build I had +12% damage and +12% crit with it which justified the mana cost, but not any more I think.

Steady shot is doing from 500 to the high 600's per hit (depending on boss) and multi-shot is only doing 120-150 points more damage in each case since they're both subject to the same armor mitigation. But multi-shot takes 275 mana compared to steady shot's 110 (pre-efficiency).

Unless we're paired with a shadow priest, like in the void reaver fight where we really need to be, I'm going to try dropping it to conserve mana in all the other boss fights. I appear to be getting around 25 of them off per boss fight so that's a loss of an extra 3750 (appx) in damage, but I think that will be offset by not having to drop out of Aspect of the hawk and go to Viper, even while mana potting, and lose that 155attack power/15 dps for that amount of time.

Oh yeah, and I also respecced today to http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=cVbh0gxRwuVoVVbRV

Dropped Imp Aspect of the Hawk since it was going too fast when it procced and picked up natural armor plus Imp. Mend Pet....since Haythan and I are casting that non-stop in some fights (Void Reaver especially) 20% less mana cost = good.

[Aurorawind]

Going to re-re-respec. Thanks to the 2 piece set bonus I'm going to move the 2 points out of Imp. Mend Pet into Imp. AotH to finish out that talent. http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=cEb00xxRwuVoVVbRV
