Thank you for watching my last MM guide of Dragonflight! I'm really looking forward to season 4 and I hope you are too! We have a ton of items that will help us do some great damage and the spec is in a pretty good place for new and returning players to give it a try. We still have issues, such as survivability, but with a good versatility build, you can fix some of those problems. Hoping War Within will help us in that department. But regardless, you know I'll be playing my MM Hunter! I'll have live raid twice a week, more videos out about gear you want to aim for and so much more. Any updates will be found below. For those questioning Embellishments: I ran both double Blue Silk Lining (BSL) and BSL plus Armguards. If you can reliably stay ABOVE 90% health, double BSL is HUGE!! Some M+ runs I had over 75% uptime on it. It allows you to build more versatility in your build if you're getting mastery from BSL. You can also just get a lot of passive stats thanks to Armguards. Armguards tend to do better in raid.
Thank you so much! This is the BEST Marksman guide I could've ever asked for, so thought-out, so organized and easy to understand. Can't wait to keep following you in TWW!
Well thank you for the kind words! I tried some new things with the season 3 and season 4 guides.. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Is there anything else you would add? Take away? Did you like the mix of visuals? One thing I would like to hcange is that my action tracker wasn't working at the time in the video for the rotation/openers.
@@MrEggplant One thing I would love to see in the next video is a deeper discussion around which combo of trinkets to use when, cause raidbots seems to give me completely different results for ST, Cleave and AoE and I'm not really sure why or how to play around it. Loved the visuals, clear, simple and easy to understand. would love TrufiGCD to watch in 0.5x speed and have a clearer view of the opener.
Recently got my Hunter to 70 and loving MM. Just saw your older guide last night and this one today. Couldn’t have timed it better lol. I like how you don’t just read talent and rotation descriptions off icyveins and offer viable alternatives if you don’t like certain meta talents (I hate Steel Trap too.) The way you lay out the idea of how the spec plays and what you’re aiming for (pun intended) as far as openers, rotation, and ability timing is super helpful. I wish other content creators made build guides the same way you do.
Hey there! Thank you for your kind words! I really do my best to make content for players of all skill levels. I've tried to do new things in my guides this xpac. Some worked, some did not. I'm really happy how this one turned out. I love MM and play it through the good and the bad. My goal is to have more people find that same love for the spec.. that's the only way we'll get more positive changes for the spec. For too many seasons/xpacs has MM suffered because it's just not played nearly as much as BM. Survival is in that same boat too. My question to you is, how did you like the set up of this guide? I'm looking to make this video set up my normal set up with for my tier guides moving forward, but I need feedback on that from viewers :) What would you like to see added? Removed? I know my guides balloon quickly with long run times, but I really feel like most of the material is important and shouldn't be left out. Also, also, I'll have a gear to aim for video out tomorrow with the gear you want for season 4. Best of luck to you my friend and I cannot wait to hear about your MM hunter journey in Season 4. Please keep me in the loop! :) - Tyler
Great vidéo ! Keep pushing ! Would be great to have a short video about How to move on a fight (in correlation with our capacities) as a marksman Hunter because it is critical to Max dps. Cheers
Hey Marco! Thank you for the kind words, I tried some new things in this video, I'm glad you liked it! :) and welcome back to the club, my friend! If you need anything, have questions, anything at all, please let me know! I know MM is more complex at times, so I do my best to talk less about minmaxing and more about enjoying the spec and doing well with it. It's a great time to try out/return to MM because the rotation is very fluid and we have great focus regeneration right now.
I tried a couple different things in this video. Some different set ups, different order of topics. Did it work? I want to do this set up moving forward if you guys like it! - Tyler
It worked out perfectly! Super clean, understandble and in-depth. Tyvm! However I do have a question: I'm struggling REAL hard on single target fights to keep up a high dps out of my Trueshot window. My highests logs on heroic raids is 185 - 200k. I was wondering if you could give me any tips on that matter? As for the trick shots buff, when using the single target build, is there anyway to get the buff up outside trueshot and volley? Tyvm once again. Looking forward to check your updates on your S4 journey! Have a good one ;)
I'm picking up MM hunter as an alt and this was a wonderful guide, i just had one question, in the macro section why do all the stopcasting macros have stopcasting 2x times?
Because hunters are weird. In stop casting macros, our auto shot can sometimes eat the stop cast portion of the macro. So you can get unlucky and break the macro because it stopcasting'd the autoshot, but not the cast you had intended. So stopcastin x2 fixes that every time. Great question, Jessica! And welcome to MM Hunter :D let me know if you have any other questions! - Tyler
Do I need the tier sets to have these dps numbers? I’m a casual player and prob won’t get the full set before season ends. Also, will the rotations and talent trees change if I don’t have the full tier? Thanks.
Hey JJ! Yes, you'll want to get the tier set, it gives you tremendous boost to your damage! You can get your tier set within the first 4 weeks thanks to the catalyst. You already have 2 charges waiting for you. Veteran gear you get from doing world content (soup, dragonkeep, the hunts) drop 480 gear that can be turned into tier :)
I'm curious, do you think it would be worth to run 2 set 2 set with new tier not working with last tier set or wait until we get full 4 set to swap to higher gear?
You'll want to keep a 4 set at all times. Luckily for us, the set bonus was the same. But, don't break your 4 set until you have 4 of the newer pieces.
I know crit and haste is more priority than mastery and versatility. But when I SIM some items with mastery and versatility give me more dps than items with haste and crit. Is there an explanation for it?
do you think you're going to upgrade this build or smtn meanwhile , I am usually pvp player a casual one . But always looking for a decent guide . And as it seems there is no perfect build alot of people build it kinda different ?
Yeah there's some situational changes depending on what content you're doing, who's in your group, etc. I've kept both builds the same (M+/AOE and ST) all season long up to this point, and I don't think anything will change!
You have options, but you want it to be an active trinket, not a passive one. The Call to Dominance works best along side an active one. My suggestion is Manic Grieftorch for ST and for AOE either Puzzle box, Iridius Fragment or Ashes.
Hey there! All my weakaura strings are found in my discord. I make all those WAs and the strings are pretty long. They're pretty basic, but get the job done 🥰
@ryanbernard9620 oh that makes sense! Those are the blizzard UI action bars, just moved around. I do slight variations with Bartender to change how many buttons are in each row. I had to use Move Anything and Bartender before blizzard allowed us to edit the UI.
@@MrEggplant Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!! Do you have any posts around which gear you are going to buy first with bullion as well as what crafted gear?
I wish.. sadly no, you cannot have more than one volley going at once. That's a great question.. I've never been asked or thought about that. Also, I'll have more video breakdowns of M+ for you this season :)
I've been great! I'm so happy to hear people are still here from when I started uploading my videos. I'm excited for season 4 and I can't wait to see what the alpha and beta for War Within will have in store for MM hunter.
I heard you mention you want the Sarkareth cloak, but aren’t you worried about the lack of stamina with us already having less health than a BM hunter? 😮
Yeah that's scary for sure. I would want a lot of vers to make up for that loss. I'll most likely pick up the cloak MUCH later in the tier. My goal is to buy Bow, Call, Seal, Seal from the vendor. Then starting week 10, I'll see what gear I have at that point.
@Waevform yeah as a MM, it's a weird feeling that all secondaries are good now. If the cloak had stam, it would probably be pick 3 with bullion. It's 100000% a glass cannon pick.
@johnathonbastholm3293 hey! Of course I can. I use a combination of the blizzard base UI with the new edit mode and Bartender. I'm away for the weekend, but I'll see how big the string is and send it to you! Thank you for supporting my content!
Serpent Sting is auto applied with our Aimed Shot thanks to Serpentstalkers Trickery. Arcane Shot will only be used when it's empowered with Precise Shot procs after we use an Aimed Shot.
How come my rapid fire only does one single shot instead of 7 shots like its suppose to after an aimed shot for the single target rotation? but works when fine when i use volley -> rapid fire? Edit: I just did the full ST rotation mentioned in the video, and when i looked at my dps meter if didnt even count 1 single damage from my rapid fire because it went straight to CD everytime i used it without it even shooting one single shot from the ability. Is the skill bugged for me or is it something im missing? Why doesnt my rapid fire work?
Sounds like you're clipping rapid fire with your next ability. It's a channeled cast, so you have to let the whole channel happen. I would suggesr adding a macro to aimed shot, so it won't interrupt the cast. I have one of those macros at the end of the video and also in the txt document in my discord!
@MasterAkinoo oh i bet i know what's happening. Were you attacking the big rock dummy? That's for tanking and he drops combat when he can't hit you. That'll stop any channeling abilities

Gonna try s4 after taking a break. Was a bm hunter in s3, but going mm for the different play style. Thanks for all the info, looking toward to it
Great video. Just started playing MM this season. And that transmog is amazing lol.
Thank you for confirming that bit about explosive shot and salvo. I just can't back from a long hiatus and thought the second one was eating the first
Fantastic video mate, I really enjoy playing MM even though it's not the meta. Thanks!

I sure am! They are listed as the Precise Shot procs in the video.
