Kickmydog BM/MM/SV Hunter Profiles.

[Centralx]

I'm still really excited for MM improvements, have you had any luck getting the routines to work KMD, or need help testing?

No i have not, I'm still looking around for ideas. However right now with there being no changes planned for hunters atm I don't see myself making anymore change to the profiles. Unless there is some sudden new theorycrafting ideas I think this is as good as it is going to get.

How do you guys go about making Deterance and disengage more responsive. They are off the gcd but it still have to keep spamming the key to death to get them to go off.


I seemed to have fixed it by upping the Ability Check Delay from 20ms to 100ms.

I have:
/stopcasting
/stopcasting
/cast spell

Macro'd to disengage, countershot and deterrence.

Couple things I have been playing with the past few days, 560 MM Hunter with 4 piece.

I was noticing some Thrill of the Hunt procs being wasted, I know that the Arcane Shot ability has code to handle TotH, but I wondered if this might help. I created a new ability with the following code and placed it before Steady Focus on the rotation. Going to test and see what it does to DPS.

if UnitBuffID("player", "109306")
and UnitPower("player") > 10
and check(3044)
then return true end

I made some alterations to Misdirect, I was noticing that when in a group/raid if the first tank the code gets to is out of range, then it spams the ability. I also noticed that when in a group with no tank, it would not MD to pet or anyone. I have been using the following code to check if tank is out of range (so it will find if next tank is in range), and also if no tank in group then MD to pet. I also return false on training dummy cause that was really annoying when testing rotations.

if UnitIsPlayer("target") == 1 then return false end

if string.find(select(1,UnitName("target")), "Training Dummy") then return false end

local hastank = false

local InParty = GetNumGroupMembers()

if InParty == 0 
and UnitExists("pet") 
and UnitThreatSituation("pet","target") ~= 3
and select(2,GetSpellCooldown(34477)) == 0
then CastSpellByName(GetSpellInfo(34477),"pet") else
local groupType = IsInRaid() 
and "raid" 
or "party" 
	for i=1, InParty do
	    local member = groupType..i
	    if UnitGroupRolesAssigned(member) == "TANK" then hastank = true end
	    if UnitGroupRolesAssigned(member) == "TANK" 
	    and IsSpellInRange(GetSpellInfo(34477),member)
	    and UnitThreatSituation(member,"target") ~= 3
	    and select(2,GetSpellCooldown(34477)) == 0 then
	        CastSpellByName(GetSpellInfo(34477),member)
	    end
	end
end


if hastank == false and UnitThreatSituation("pet","target") ~= 3 then
	CastSpellByName(GetSpellInfo(34477),"pet")
end

You lose dps by not keeping Steady Focus up all the time, also MD is off the GCD, makes no difference to dps if it is on a dummy or not. I've seena number of people who just macro MD to a dps ability so it's not strange to see people using MD on the target dummy. Range check on tank is a good idea though.

[WebKill]

Yeah, I actually realized that after I posted, I moved TotH after steady focus, as for MD, I just got tired of seeing the ability blinking like mad lol, not that it will help dps, but the ranged part does help.

Possible to have the bot not attack General Nazgrim when he is in defensive stance. Atm Im just outranging him when all of the adds are dead.

I could do that, but that makes the program too bloated. I'm not going to bother making changes for just one boss encounter. Just do what I do, turn off the rotation while on defensive stance, or just turn away so your are not facing the boss.

How to report a problem with the profile.

If you have a problem with the profile that you want to bring to my attention for a fix make sure that you include the following information:

Your hunter's level
Your hunter's specialization
Your hunter's talent choices
Your hunter's focus level when the problem happens
What ability is it stalling it at or what abilities are on cooldown when it gets stuck?
What are you targeting?
Any other pertinent information.

Just saying it doesn't work will probably get a rude reply.

Hello!
MM hunter lvl 85.
talent choices Posthaste/Intimidation/Aspect of the Iron Hawk/Thrill of the Hunt/Blink strikes
Focus level 50-100
Chimera shot is on cd
Targeting any mop mob
The profile refuses to use Arcane shot whatsoever.Even with 100 focus and chimera shot on cd it will spam steady shot.Also doenst even use it when thrill of the hunt procs!

[K-Z]

how i can remove the autouse of the trinket in the rotation?

I've been using it in raids the last three weeks and I cannot get the profile to mimic the problems that you are having at all. Make sure you aren't testing on a target dummy since it will suppress Arcane Shot for Aimed Shot on the dummy because of Careful Aim. If you are not using it on the dummy I can only suggest deleting the profile and downloading it again.

Remove any references in the profile to /use13 and 14 I believe.

I could be doing something wrong, but is there a way to make it not use Rapid Fire and Bestial Wrath on cd? And instead on a button press of some sorts? I see there is something in the rotation for RF to but on right shift, but thats only controlling Stampede for me.

Replace the rapid fire in the rotation with the rapid fire pushdown option.
There is no reason to not use these on CD in almost every boss fight this tier.

Heroic clearing hunter here, with several top parses, unable to reproduce any issue like what he reported. I've used the rotation on all 3 specs with little to no problems. This is far and above the best rotation I've ever used.
