I switch to a MM hunter for raids and I feel I am not pulling my weight. I have a 505 ilvl everything enchanted 4 piece set and do everything needed but my dps is garbage. There are times in Mythics I can burst 400k and then average out around 150k, there are times when I cant break 200k. From what I am told I should be averaging 5-600k in burst and 300k steadily … I am hoping there is someone that might be able to help me improve? I have read all the forums and icyveins but still nothing … Is there another MM Hunter that pulls that kind of dps and doesnt mind jumping on disc or something to see what I am doing wrong?

I’m a super new hunter and also would love to get better. I’ve watched and tried to implement what I’ve learned from some MM YouTube videos, but there is room for improvement.
I’d be willing to help if you want. MM is actually fairly straight forward it’s just about getting into the flow of it. Once you kinda get what you’re doing you’ll more or less cruise.

Honestly looking at your logs it seems to be less rotational and more just your general understanding of the talent tree.
Sure there’s some rotational elements where it looks like you’re casting a few spells a little less often than you could be. Which is probably down to the fact that you’re not comfortable playing MM & doing encounter mechanics, which is further amplified by the fact that your roster was 11man so there’s more individual pressure.
But for example, Gnarlroot HC you specced into Steel Trap but only cast it 1 time.
You’re not specced into Explosive shot.
And you’re not taking full advantage of your tier-set by speccing into Light Ammo & Salvo.

The Icy Veins “ST” tree is good for pure ST. Gnarlroot has a lot of adds and you’re just missing out on all that extra DPS.
so… kinda correct about talent tree stuff but also rotation has been a HUGE problem for them if you were looking at logs. it needs a whole lesson.
I think light ammo is not a very good consistent choice outside of M+ and wouldn’t spec it for a single fight in raid honestly. there’s almost zero cases where you’re going to be hitting more than 6 targets and even in M+ it depends on what your group is pulling so it’s zero value sometimes.
steel trap on the other hand is almost never worth speccing. it’s a dps increase but it’s so clunky and awful that if you’re new to MM it’s just a brain global you should save. they should focus on doing everything else more perfectly.
On top of what others have said, just keep in mind MM is a pure burst spec. Every 2m during Trueshot you will do dmg, it will fall off in between every use. The DPS at the end of the fight highly depends on the fight duration and timing of the kill within your burst windows.
