Shot Rotations<br /> Being able to DPS effectively requires more then just sitting back and auto shooting, you need to use all of your shots and stings as well. But you can't just button mash and spam your abilities either. The key to hunter DPS is to create what is known as a Shot Rotation. A shot rotation revolves around your Auto Shots and the window of time between each one. During this time you can use one of your other abilities like Arcane or Multi shot. But if you don't time your shots right you will go long and cancel out one of your auto shots, losing DPS.<br /> The greatest difficulty for creating a shot rotation is dealing with cooldowns and global cooldowns. If you had a weapon with a 2.50 attack speed you would have two and a half seconds to use one of your special shots before auto shot was fired again. Most of your damage dealing shots are instant cast so even if they have a cast time two and a half seconds should be enough. But if they have a cooldown you won't be able to use it right away on your next auto shot window. If you were to use Arcane Shot on your first window you will have to wait six seconds to use it again. Which with a 2.50 speed bow <br /> would be in your third auto shot window. This leaves you with an empty window and a missed opportunity for extra DPS. During that empty window you could weave in a different shot like Steady Shot or Multi Shot for extra DPS.<br /> Your other major problem is dealing with a global cooldown. When you use an ability your global cooldown activates and for 1.5 seconds you can't use any other abilities. If you didn't have this you would be able to spam all of your instant cast shots almost at the same time and your burst damage would be huge. The global cooldown won't effect your auto shot, but it will effect when you can use another special shot. If your weapon is very fast your global cooldown might carry over into your next auto shot window and prevent you from getting in another shot.<br /> Now that you understand the basics of a shot rotation its time to go over the specifics. The best shot to use in a rotation is Steady Shot (You won't be able to use this till level 62 though.) It has a very low cast time and is more mana efficient than some of your other shots. It is possible to have a rotation of nothing but Steady Shot and auto shot. But what is better is to use that as a base and throw in other shots as well. Arcane shot should be thrown in by your second or third window because it won't be reduced by armor like Steady Shot. Multi Shot should be thrown in after your second arcane shot to make sure the tank has built up enough aggro. After opening with a sting and aimed shot the sequence I usually use is auto, steady, auto, arcane, auto, steady, auto, steady, auto, arcane, auto, multi...Then start over from the beginning.<br /> When using a shot rotation there are some important things to remember. First and foremost is that Aimed Shot should not be incorporated. Using it resets your auto shoot and its long cast time makes it hard to squeeze in. On that note, your weapons speed will determine what type of rotation you will be able to pull off. Faster weapons give you a smaller window to work with and your cooldowns will often prevent you from getting in an extra shot. You also need to be careful with your mana when using a shot rotation. Hunter mana efficiency is poor compared to other classes and Arcane Shot and Multi Shot suck up a lot of MP. The easiest solution to this is to gage your DPS off of what you are fighting. If it is a regular mob or trash mob in a instance use a simple Steady Shot and auto shot rotation. If it is<br /> trash in a raid weave in an occasional arcane shot. If you are fighting a boss slowly DPS so you will regenerate some mana then go all out once the tank has secured threat.<br />
