Hello everyone,

I have been steady parsing purple since playing my hunter only a few months ago. Since the 10.0.7 patch however, I have been parsing much lower than I am used to and would like to nail down all the ways I can improve going forward. Any and all advice will be appreciated.

This is my first time putting my logs out for anyone to look at, so please let me know if I can or need to do more here. Thank you all

I'm not sure my log analysis is good enough to do a proper log review here, but a big reason for the sudden drop in ranking is the Neltharaxx nerf. It looks like you got it well before 10.0.7. Before 10.0.7 you had a parsing advantage over equally skilled hunters who did not have Nelth, but now that the power difference is much smaller, some of the hunters without bow who were just below you are now parsing above you. Your performance hasn't changed, but you're no longer benefitting from such a rare but extremely powerful weapon.

Also due to the fact 10.0 has thousands of parses compared to a few hundred

Knowing that the bow was carrying me before is good info to have, but the next step would be to identify how I can improve from here. What am I doing fundamentally wrong that puts me in the bottom 25% of BM hunters? Thank you

Looking at one of your terros fights, missing casts of dire beast so probably not using it on cooldown, also missing casts of bloodshed. not using cobra shot enough to reduce CD of KC. Also your frenzy uptime is good but you could improve slightly at getting more casts of bestial wrath by using barbed 2nd stack most likely letting it overcap. I would say main issue is dire usage and cobra (allowing focus to cap and not getting KC cd reduction)

#

I only looked at one fight though but I assume its similar in other fights too

#

also your opener use puzzle with DC not as your first cast, you could have cast another puzzle also at about 3 minutes as the fight lasted over 3.5 minutes

Use Barbed Shot Icon Barbed Shot to refresh Frenzy Icon Frenzy when it is about to fall off. If Bestial Wrath Icon Bestial Wrath is off cooldown, spend all of your Barbed Shot Icon Barbed Shot charges before pressing it, if Frenzy Icon Frenzy has fewer than 3 stacks.
Cast Kill Command Icon Kill Command if it is on 2 charges, so that its cooldown is always rolling.
Use Death Chakram Icon Death Chakram on cooldown. (PUZZLEBOX)
Use Bloodshed Icon Bloodshed on cooldown.
Use Bestial Wrath Icon Bestial Wrath on cooldown.
Use Kill Shot Icon Kill Shot on cooldown.
Use Kill Command Icon Kill Command on cooldown.
Use Barbed Shot Icon Barbed Shot when it has more than "1.4" charges, meaning whenever its second charge is about halfway off its cooldown. You should also cast Barbed Shot Icon Barbed Shot if doing so would reset the cooldown of Bestial Wrath Icon Bestial Wrath. 1 Barbed will take off 12 seconds, and 2 of them will take off 24 seconds.
Use Dire Beast Icon Dire Beast on cooldown.
Use Cobra Shot Icon Cobra Shot when you have nothing else to do.

and remember people with high parses are probably prestacking dire pack and maybe getting external buffs too like PI
