MM Hunter Master Marksman Exploit/Bug

[Qiciste]

Don't know if this exactly an exploit, but here goes:
Basically, what this does is getting a focus-free Aimed Shot thanks to the Master Marksman effect.

At 4 stacks of the Master Marksman effect, if you manage to get lucky and cast a Aimed Shot after the Steady Shot that procs the Fire! buff, your currently cast Aimed Shot will be focus free but doesn't clear the Fire! buff. This way if you keep check of the buffs, it's advicable to switch to casting Aimed over Arcane Shot in raid situations where you see you have 4 stacks of the Master Marksman effect.

Also has funny effects in Arena, if you're lucky enough to get this with Rapid Fire on, you can chaincast 3 Aimed Shots within 4 seconds. Yes, that's a lot of damage. Honestly, this rarely ever happens in PvP, but in PvE this is a viable exploit to pay attention to.

Yours sincerely.

Also, first post don't bash.

Ah, good find Janube. Either way I still gave him rep cause I wasn't aware of the older threads :P

Not working as intended whatsoever but indeed a repost.

Used the auto search when I typed in the title and also searched for Master Marksman effect. Anyway, it's indeed not working as intended.

Working as intended.

This is definitely not intended, it gives you a free hardcast aimed shot as well as a free instant aimed shot, and leaves you at full focus.

No, basically you use the time between starting to hardcast an Aimed Shot and the Steady Shot hitting (possibly lag plays an issue too) to get the Fire! buff to apply the focus cost reduction to the Aimed Shot that you are casting as well, without clearing the buff. Kinda wondering how they could fix this, but not turning this into a theory-thread, so one of the moderators feel free to lock / delete this thread as apparently it's a repost.

Same thing with balance druids, cast starsurge and get procc, you can do instant starsurge even if it proccs before it's casted, working as intended.

To the ones saying "working as intended" you have no idea what you're talking about...srsly understand the mechanics of whats intended before you try to sound like you do but only ending up looking like a idiot.
