Hi,

Having boxed 3 hunters one of each spec since release of WoTLk I have alot of feedback and info.

1st your hunter is geared/gemmed all wrong, any +hit over 263 is complete waste, you spent 500-600 gp worth of +hit gems to no use, replace with +agi/crit or anything else that is not +hit, the +hit trinket is also not doing anything good atm but keep it cause you might need it should you run into +hit issues when going below 263

2nd MM hunter is the worst to box, you say "cokkie cutter" macro, MM dont have any macro that even comes close to the dps you can do playing it SINGLE style, please post you macros.

Ive written gazillions macros for the 3 specs tried it all, only reason i still have the MM hunter spec is because trueshot aura buff it gives my 2 other hunters plus the paladin consider you run with casters it also is a waste.

I run a paly x3 hunter and a priest in my team.

dps is always as follows

BM hunter 4500dps on HC boss
SV hunter 4000 dps on HC boss
MM hunter 3500+ dps on HC boss

Reason for why BM hunter always comes out on top is cause thats where you have the most automation and cokkie cutter macros SV hunter requires carefull timing of LnL procs and thats basically impossible in 5 boxing, MM hunter is even worse when it comes to shot rotation.

I realise my post will be very long if I put all my reflections in one post but ill give you some very quick tips that I am very certain will boost your hunter dps with 1k

I would assume your current HC boss dps is like 2k, with respecing to BM getting new pet and some "cokkie cutter " macros you will reach dps 3.5-4k very soon.

If you have more DPS you are doing better then I did when my MM had that lvl of gear, but I respec and rewrite macros all the time to try out new things

BM spec, nothing really need to be said, alot of info out there use any recomended BM spec tho i usually tailor it to the fact that i BoX and dont play single hunter.

PET - go get a Saur, Devilsaur or any saur you can find, Netherstorm has the easiest Devilsaur to tame, or ungoro crater, these can only be used with the 51 pts BM talent, this pet alone will do 1.7-2k dps, talk about automation (my assestment 3.5-4k dps is including the pet ofc)

dps Macro,

BW and KM with correct glyphs and spec are on a such quick CD that i never "save" them I just fire and forgett, Multi-Shot HM and KS i have mapped to other buttons.

With this setup DON'T glyph Serpent Sting, go för BM (ofc) Steady and KS

using Keyclone on my hunter i have Mapped E to the following macro-

/console Sound_EnableSFX 0
/assist "tankname"
/petattack
/startattack
/cast !Auto-Shot
/castrandom Arcane Shot,
/castsequence reset=6 Steady Shot,
/castsequence reset=6 Arcane Shot, Serpent Sting,
/use 13
/use 14
/cast Kill Command
/cast Bestial Wrath
/console Sound_EnableSFX 1
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

on Q i have the following macro

/assist "tank"
/castsequence reset=target Hunter's Mark, Kill Shot, Kill Shot, Kill Shot

You will not get more then 3 KS on ANY HC boss encounter

on R i have

/cast [target="TANKNAME"] Misdirect

I could go on about tips and tricks for ALL the HC instances with regards to HUNTERS but try this 1st and if you like it or not please reply
