Quick turnaround

Coupla e-mails in the last hour, and since I'm waiting to use the phone (darn it brother GET OFF THE HOUSE PHONE!!!, I'll be damned if I'm using my money to call using my mobile...) I figure I might as well answer them.

First of all we have a letter from Mrs Trellis of North wales, she asks:

"What shot rotation are you currently using for raids"

Well Mrs Trellis, I don't use a rotation, so much as a priority which goes as follows:

1) Kill shot (if usable)
2) Explosive shot
3) Serpent sting
4) Aimed shot
5) Steady shot

Sprinkle liberally with mend pets and kill-commands and serve, while piping hot, for 1-2 raid bosses.

And yes, explosive shot before serpent sting, putting serpent sting up first would give you 3% more damage on the explosive shot that comes after (and maybe an extra auto-shot), but its not worth the damage loss by putting back your explosive shots by 1.5 seconds.


Secondly an anonymous tipster asks:


"Might you be so kind as to kick me in the right direction?"

*punts the anonymous tipster towards Ulduar*

Right now that's done, lets have a quick recap on glyphs, which certainly were nothing to do with the question but I realized that its imposable to get that across without quoting half the e-mail... certainly nothing like that at all!

Majors:

1) Glyph of improved aspect of the hawk (assuming you have any points in improved aspect of the hawk this is an amazing glyph)
2) Glyph of serpent sting (6 more seconds on serpent sting = 4 more abilities gaining the 3% damage bonus per application, makes the shot priority easier on you)
3) Glyph of steady shot (makes steady shot actually do noticeable damage... not that much anymore, but its still a good glyph)

Minors
1) Glyph of mend pet (you'll never need pet food again, seriously this is insane!)
2) Glyph of feign death (more feign deaths, its always useful to have feign death ready and 5 seconds off is very good)
3) Glyph of revive pet (for when your pet does die and you can't steal a druid combat res (animal lovers, yeah right, they save the combat res for the death knight, HAH!) saves you time in case you get hit along the way)

You are far too kind. Thanks for the Glyph info!
