Just the Broken Army

Auot-shot is completely unlinked from other shots now, so it just keeps firing in the background even while you are casting other shots. Auto-shot will just go off when its ready.

Ah cool, good to know

Hey you might try a Bear pet. They get a nice AOE swipe that helps them grab mobs. 3-4 bear pets would be nice aoe dmg/threat

Looking good.

Be careful with those hunters... sooner or later the auto-target-and-fire "bug" is going to get you.

What bug is that?

Put your hunter in range of an enemy. Don't target ANYTHING. Press your DPS macro.

1) Hunter selects the closet target.
2) Hunter fires
3) You wipe because you just pulled an extra group.

This is because hunters are "physical" attackers, just like melee. Get close to a mob with a melee class (don't target anything) and press your attack button - it'll select the closet enemy and attempt to attack. Hunter's behave the same way unfortunately, just with a ranged attack.

Is this not fixed by turning off the Auto-Shot/Auto-attack interface option? This is the option which automatically switches you to auto-attacking when a mob gets to close for auto-shot. This bug used to cause many issues when raiding, but turning this option off fixed it.

Confirmed. Turning off the Autoattack/Autoshot in the interface options fixed the hunter random attack bug

Also just learned that Aimed Shot and Multi-Shot shares cooldown, so now im trying to figure out if its possible to set a variable swich in macros to set my hunter in either "AoE" or "Single" mode, so i can continue my current setup where i have bound the shotmacro to every key i use on my tank. Havent really looked into the rules and limitation on lua in that context.



Other updates:



Farmed BFD 6-7 times to get the bow inthere, but it didnt drop a single time.





Also just finished Gnomeregan just for kicks. Got 5 pieces of awesome loot for my priest that i cant use for another 3 levels hehe. That instance is a pain in the butt though lol, managed to wipe a few times while afk.





Then next up is Stockcade for quests, then ill probably do the two Razorfens a time or two, and then move on to farm scarlet for abit.



The combo is showing to be awesome so far. I dont have any problems at all keeping my bear tank up, even against orange bosses. And hunters singletarget dps is just amazing, and thats despite the fact that they have very crappy bows still. I somewhat have a problem with large groups of mobs (7+), bear tank isnt exactly perfect at AE tanking and hunters is obviously focused on single target. But on boss fights, they seriously blow stuff up.

Enjoying the team, and will most likely level to 80.

Stay tuned for more updates, if it interest you



edit: Gonna try either a gorillas or bears for the AE thingy when i get to scarlet, and see how much DPS drop is compared to the benifit of having them blast alot of mobs.

Nice one,
keep the screenshots coming

The AE-Tanking as a feral is not so easy, but with the Glyph that Maul hits two targets and a the talent that swipe does more damage its realy doable!
Just keep the mobs in front of you - you can also do quite nice AoE Damage with hunters, if you use volley (dont know when you learn it - around level 40)

Till 3.1 Gorillas are the best AoE Pets, after the patch, bears are better, because they can train the Thunderstomp and they also have a swipe-like attack!

I am jealous of 5boxing cant justify the monthly cost so im only doing duos.

I really enjoy my pally for the aoe tanking using http://thottbot.com/s31789 http://thottbot.com/s26573 and http://thottbot.com/s25780 helps keep mobs off druid and on my pally might be an idea not sure how well druids do at aoe tanking unless hunter pets can hold aoe aggro that well no idea.
