I played WoW for nearly seven years as a Hunter and with each xpack+content patches we saw our DPS and viability in pvp nerfed. Each content patch promised new changes that would improve dps for both pve and pvp only to be disappointed. Don't get me wrong...there were some xpacks where Hunters started off strong but then got hit with major nerf bats. I won't make the same mistake with this Arsenal. If Bio doesn't fix Arsenal DPS and the simple glitches in this game it will slowly die. There is to much competition out there for them to ignore this class: DIABLO TERA GW2 WoW-Retarded Panda Xpack Just to name a few.

DISCLAIMER: Without a combat log/dps meters what I say below might not be accurate but based on raiding experience, all 8 and 16 Man OPS content farmed on Nightmare, and swapping out mods I've come to my personal conclusion that my dps has improved. I don't understand why the majority of BH believe Alacrity is a wasted stat. The faster you can cast the more dps you're gonna pull. Once I hit my Accuracy/Crit/Surge range I stack Power/Alacrity I placed one point in Systems Calibrations for the extra 2% plus one point in Critical Reactions. My TM cast time is now 1.3 secs and I see a significant difference on Unload's cast time. With TM's cast time being so low it is so much easier to keep up the proc due to Raid Shots being used more frequently. Only downside is getting used to not overheating. Once you can manage that you'll be happy with the results.

One button? What class are you playing? If you're only using one button to dps on your MERC then you fail. Between popping my trinkets, TM, HS, Rail Shot, Unload, Power Surge, Instant Fusion while watching for Barrage Procs I'd say your one button BS is just that..BS. Also with my cast time on TM at 1.3 secs I'm also able to get in free Rapid Shots.

Without damage meters or combat logs we cannot confirm if BH's need to be accuracy capped at 110%. Here are my secondary stats unbuffed: Accuracy- 100.1%, Tech- 110.1% Crit- 31.99% Crit Multiplier- 72.46% Activation Speed (Alacrity)- 7.67% I'm sacrificing alot of crit/surge for accuracy and I'm not sure if all that accuracy is needed. The other two Merc BH's raid with 90%/100% Accuracy and claim to not see any misses, dodges, or parries. Does anyone else have any experiences in Nightmare content that can help shed some light on this? Can a Dev confirm if BH's really need 110% accuracy to improve DPS? Thanks in advance for those that have any suggestions or recommendations.

I'm attempting to login every half hour rather waiting for an email.

Sept 23rd so I hope it's either later today or early tomorrow.
