Well, since your Alli, I can't help you.....jk jk. Yeah, don't socket your stuff right now, go through the three heroics raids: Heroic Naxx, Eye of Eternity, and Vault. Once you have alot of stuff you want, then socket. I really don't know much about BoH to be honest, so I can't help you there, I'm sorry sir.
Your Agil. can be better in some situations, but for my character, I'm more worried about crit and hit rating atm, but also go for gems with crit. and agil./ap. Those are tthe ones you, I believe they are orange gems. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Need anything else sir?

Well i generally tend to stack agi as the highest prio and i couldnt care less about by helm's or glove's socket bonus, since my haste really wont do much past 426. But to get my hit rating to where it needs to be i have to gem yellow/ orange and those two items got lucky...
About your comment on the crit gems though, i strongly oppose this, a yellow socket should be used for either pure hit rating or pure agility, or 8 agi 8 hit. However when socketing to get a socket bonus, the 8 crit 8 agi should do fine, as they are both offensive stats. but 16 crit just seems like a waste in my opinion :/

You make a good point. I'm just stating that if you want DPS to go up, get hit rating (like you said) and also crit. but more % crit. you have, the higher your gonna hit, might not help DPS ALOT but will help, atleast it did for me.

This is my hunter..
I have 4200 AP, 35% crit and hitcapped, which is kinda good..
Im Suvival and Im guessing, that my DPS on a L80 dummy should at least 2500, but I cant get it above 2300, with trinket....
I know I need a few items, to be fully Epic geared, but I still think I should have a higher DPS, just cant seem too find out how :-P
HELP!
Regards,
- U

Ive just switched from MM to SV. Ive seen a drop in dps from the 2.2K i was getting as marks to 1.8k as SV.
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Khaz%27goroth&n=Dexxhunter
3.8k ap, 26% crit (unbuffed), hit capped. My 'lock and load' doesn't seem to proc very often. Even then, 'explosive shot' averages 1.2k normal with 2.5k on crit. I have a similarly geared deathknight that does quite a bit more dps. His oblits and frost strikes crit regularly for over 6k. Not sure why my explosive shots are so low given my ap and crit.

Yeah, gear doesn't look to be your problem.
Did you remember to go rank up Explosive Shot at the trainer after getting the talent. I actually made this mistake when i first switched to SV... it's an easy thing to forget/overlook.
Also remember that you can use traps to proc LnLas well. This works especially well with Frost Trap since the LnL it procs doesn't share a cool down with the LnL procced by your Serpent Sting. It's also cheap and the ice slick is fairly useful for keeping packs of mobs together for AOEing.
To do this I stand up by the tank on multiple mob pulls and drop my Frost Trap right next to the tank when he pulls. I then Disengage to get some distance and fire an ES on the first mob, switch to another and ES, then switch to another and ES again. You can get off 3 ES really, really fast like that and then switch to either volley or your regular rotation with multi-shot.
The same basic strat works on bosses (for now) as well.
A couple small spec-related things...
You shouldn't need that point in Focused Aim. Since you are Draenei you only need 231 hit to be capped. Scatter Shot and Trap Mastery aren't really useful unless you are trying to PVP a bit with this spec as well. Improved Stings is the place to put those points if you choose to move any of them.

Hi!
here's my character..
http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Tarren+Mill&n=Leccolas
i just reached the 80!
can you help me to power my DPS?
and which abilities i have to rise?
thanx!
Well if you really want to get your DPS up, you probably need to change specs from BM to either SV (top DPS) or MM.
Aside from that, you just need to get geared as quickly as possible. The best place to start doing that is from easy rep items and the AH.
You can get a nice
gun
if you have revered rep with the Argent Crusade, good
shoulders
with revered Ebon Blade, and
upgrades for your swords
with honored Wyrmrest Accord rep.
Some good items to keep an eye out for on the AH would be
Eaglebane Bracers
,
Belt of Tasseled Lanterns
,
Aviary Guardsman's Hauberk
, and the
Rusted-Link Spiked Guantlets
.
Getting your hit rating up should be one of your top priorities. Right now, 197 hit rating should be your goal to get you capped for heroics. You can worry about the 263 cap for raids later.
Oh and I see some strength items in your gear and one strength enchant. Just for clarification, hunters don't need strength for anything. You want Hit Rating, Agility, AP, Crit, Haste, Int and Stam, but no strength at all.

You should definitely be doing more than 2k with that gear. More along the lines of 2500+ in heroic 5 mans, 3k+ in 10 mans and 3500+ in 25 mans... roughly.
Aside from getting new trinks (esp the Mirror of Truth) and gemming your tier armor, there aren't any gear issues at all.
Your spec is pretty much spot-on other than the 2nd point in GftT isn't helping you at all. You could move that to IAofH or Hunting party, but that is a very minor change.
You have to be doing something wrong with your shot rotation.

my typical rotation is Serp sting, ES AS, SS, repeat. when LnL procs i ES 3 times maknig sure not to overlap the tics....killshot when its abail. ill throw my kill command in there somewhere randomly....

That's pretty solid. I don't know what else to tell you atm.
Where are you seeing that 2k number? Do you know roughly what kind of DPS you are doing on some boss fights like Patchwerk?
I would look for other SV hunters in raids (especially if they are beating you) and compare yourself. If your gear is pretty similiar then start checking your recount numbers closely against there's and see where they are beating you.

The 2K number is comming from recount. I'm hittin 25 Naxx tonight, ill tag along with the other surv hunter i know will be there and take notes. What glyphs should i grab before the raid?
