Rotation 1:Kill Shot > Serpent Sting > Chimera Shot > Aimed Shot > Steady Shot X4(requres more than 450 armor pen. Glyph of Serpent Sting, Glyph of Kill Shot, Glyph of Steady Shot)*Serpent Sting should ofc only be used once at the start of the fight. Because it is necessary for Chimera Shot, yet you only need to use it once.
When dealing with adds, if they live for a prolonged period of time, then you will want to keep a rolling serpent sting (and piercing shots) on each mob.
*Acane Shot is only used for movement, cuz it dont bennefit from armor pen. but whenever you are moving, you'll want this on CD after Chimera and Aimed
Rotation 2:Kill Shot > Serpent Sting > Chimera Shot > Aimed Shot > Arcane Shot > Steady Shot X(2-3)Use this rotation if u got
less than 450 armor pen. Glyph of Serpent Sting, Glyph of Kill Shot, Glyph of Chimera Shot

As we dont use arcane shot a lot anymore we want to drop hit gear for armor pen and use talents for getting hit capped.
Gems: (ARP or AGI?)I have been looking at elitistjerks, ensidia.com etc for weeks to find out what is best and how u should gem. a lot of ppl say diffrent things, but this one ensidia hunter nailed it good, so im just gonna quote him.
"Before getting into what and how you should gem, I'm going to break the ice and explain why some hunters choose to gem for Arm Pen, and others for Agi. The thing with Arm Pen, is that it increases exponentially.
Exponential growth is just like the classic problem, where every time you double the number, its relative distance from the last number increases vastly. (2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512,1024,2058). As you can see, especially on a larger scale, at first the numbers are small and relatively close to one another, but once you get higher, the yield beings to increase a lot more.
The formula for Armor is the exact opposite. The more armor you have, the less of an increase in damage reduction you gain per armor. For instance, a tank with 5k armor has about 25% reduction, but a tank with 10k armor has about 40% reduction. The armor doubled yet the increase in damage reduction only went up by about 50%, not 100%. This is why the armor pen has the exponential growth. The less and less armor the mob has, the more significant the loss in damage reduction.
The thing is though, people are expecting that the second they hit this "magical" amount of Arm Pen, their DPS will sky rocket from the 5k they were doing before to the 8-9k they see others doing. This is far from the truth. The increase is minimal yet it does exsist. A hunter though that decides to gem Agi instead is still highly competitive, they'll just excel in certain area's that the other hunter won't. So what are those area's?
The Arm Pen hunter will top the meters on your class tank and spank fights. The less movement involved, and the less AoE involved the better. You'll become a one trick pony, in the sense that you can't move, and you can't AoE, you can only single target. The Agi hunter will excel in the these same things.
So when will you know if gemming Arm Pen is the right thing for you? When you have around 800 Arm Pen rating, without gemming for it, and without having any trinket procs, then you know you are ready. I don't recommend this though. If I'm having to tell you when you're ready, or if you didn't probably know previously, then you are better of just gemming Agi. No really. YOU ARE BETTER WITH AGI."Play Style:This is a huge subject and prob the aera you can increase your dps the most. But its very hard to tell other exactly what they should do, so im gonna make a few key points.
1.
keybind EVERYTING u ever going to use in combat. make use of your keyboard not just 1,2,3,4, use Shift and Ctrl with keys like Q, E, R, T, F, G, X, C, V, and u have 40-50 keys u can use.
2.
Don't use the arrow keys or A + D keys to turn. this is VERY SLOW, and will get you killed. Allways use your mouse to turn. Set the A and D keys to strafing!
3.
Don't single hit your keys! You want to
spam the hell out of that key .5sec before to .5sec after the cast. This will take into effect any latency issues, as well as giving you the most accurate timing for using the ability the instant it is available.
4.
Dont live the fight in the pressent, but the future. know what the boss is going to do, and plan accordingly, when to use your cd's, viper or pots. And same thing with your rotation, know when something is comming of cd, its too late if it already is..
5. When moveing try too keep an eye on your swing timer, as auto shot does 50% of our DPS. so if its .2 sec until it goes off, wait abit (unless u going to die ofc) and u can also stop for a split second while moveing to let it get off. traing at this with dummys are great
All for now, dont forget to look at the macro guide!Cya ontop of the dmg meters XD
