So i saw that the Beta talent calculator had been updated on Wowhead to reflect the new Hunter changes and decided to download the new PTR patch. Nothing too exciting, though some odd changes: Surefooted doesn't have the increased chance to hit anymore, that's been moved to MM and incorporated into Focused Aim, which no long affects Aimed Shot's pushback because Aimed Shot is now cast instantly (!). This puts the hit buff in the first tier of MM, meaning no Hunter should ever have too much trouble reaching hit cap (or be required to stack massive amounts of +hit gems).
One bug i noticed is that using Aimed or Multi triggers both cds the same way using Arcane or Explosive triggers both cds. Also, my melee macro (Raptor, Wing Clip, repeat) is no longer working: i have no idea why. The Cat family skill Rake is finally in, but i can't tell that it helps dps (oddly enough it's a dot). Anyways, i may tinker with my spec a bit, but i think that i'm going to stay hybrid.
Talking to some fellow hunters, they weren't all that happy with AoV, but i was. i don't even know if i tried turning it on in previous patches because i read it was broken. Basically it really nerfs your damage but at the same time it takes less than 30s to fill your mana bar up so you can switch back to Hawk and continue to dps your heart out. i can live with that.
My figures are as follows:
with AoH
high dps 1080
834 average dps (148s to oom) or 919 average dps (110s to oom)
pet dps = 140
with AoV
max dps 380
300 average dps
20-25s to 100% mana
pet dps 125
400+ mana per shot
This of course isn't entirely accurate because of the Aimed and Multi bug, but it's still pretty impressive. Once the bug is fixed i will most likely be able to put out dps even faster, albeit by also going oom faster. But specced so deep into Surv that won't be as big of an issue for me as for a BM hunter.
