Hunter double free aimed shot (Marksmenship)

[Cyndaquil]

I can already tell this is going to be hard to explain but if you test it out you'll find it works.

The 5 stacking buff you get from Steady Shot gives you a free Aimed Shot when you reach 5 stacks. So the trick is to be at 4 stacks, cast Steady Shot, Then cast Aimed Shot *Before the Steady Shot hits*

The idea is that you're casting Aimed Shot while you receive the 5th stack, making it cost no focus, then your Aimed Shot is still procced so you get another one for free, without a cast timer.

And on top of the double free Aimed Shot, you probably have close to 100 focus to use chimera or another aimed even.

So what you're saying is that you want a Aim shot to be in the air befor the Steady shot hits the target and give you the stacks buff ?

[Reshgar]

I think he is. Nice.

[Ground Zero]

Wasn't that hard to explain, as soon as your last Steady shot is cast fire aimed shot so it doesn't count as your "free" one after the steady shot hits.

Not really an exploit, but it is a useful tip i've seen a few hunters use in the arena.

I'd have to agree with Ground Zero on this one. This is a know topic on every wow forum including ej. It's really easy to do if you cast an Aimed Shot after every Steady Shot once your MMM stack is at 4.

At the moment this addon does not track the MMM buff, but he is being persuaded to on another form and is looking into adding it soon. Great hunter addon that removes many other addons and is very low on memory.

Searched "Aimed shot." Second one down from yours.

I would call this an exploit 100%. I don't know what part of 2 free Aimed Shots instead of 1 is intended...

[Cyndaquil]

Yeah Bagger, that's what I'm saying, the tricky part is getting lucky with the 20% proc chance on Master Marksman, It's worth the risk though, getting a double free Aimed Shot is -very- nice. Also you have ~100 focus after it happens.

Master Marksman Rank 3
You have a 60% chance when you Steady Shot to gain the Master Marksman effect, lasting 30 sec. After reaching 5 stacks, your next Aimed Shot's cast time and focus cost are reduced by 100% for 10 sec.

The only time I don't fish for the free Aimed Shot is when I'm refreshing Serpent Sting or would drop Improved Steady Shot.

Can't say it's more a technique than an exploit combining buffs/technique for a damage burst. It's good to put the idea out there to discuss.

I like to add it'll be easier to manage this moving as max range as possible for that extra millisecond to get your aimed shot casting.

I actually saw this on another forum and I found a way to get power auras to track Master Marksman. If anyone is interested in the power aura string I can post it here or just hit me up in a pm. It shows the stacks of master marksman, so you aren't guessing when you are at 1-4 stacks.

Hey, Mr. Productive, one is intended and the other is a very useful bug, regardless of how much some people may know about it.

I didn't know about it until a week and a half ago, and I main a hunter(granted, I was SV). So take your sarcasm and take a hike.

[EcHoEs]

Yeah, the only crappy part about the bug/exploit is the 40% chance for it to fail.

You cast say 6 SS, got 4 stacks of Master Marksman. You cast 1 more and start casting Aimed Shot. It doesn't proc. Ofcourse you can go and cast another SS and aimed shot and hope it triggers, but it's waste of dps.
