How to play dungeon properly as marksmanship hunter, confused on something

Hi everyone
Im somewhat new to WoW, im very on and off with the game so theres lots I dont know but I try my best to figure it out/ask/google, but this past week ive been very into th game again. I play as Marksmanship hunter and been doing dungeons alot. Ive never been kicked out of a dungeon but I have one or two times someone a little irked with me. I play WoW for fun, I dont take it serious but I also dont want to piss off other players ya know?

abit on how I play in dungeons:
I know my role as a hunter (as what im aware is anyways) is to do damage in dungeons, typically how I play is I follow the leader of the group, I dont go off ahead of everyone and I wait until tank/leader? makes the first move on an enemy THEN i follow up right away with helping. I have my pet so it doesnt attack until I order it too so it doesnt pull more enemies into our group. I usually have my pet dismissed until bosses then I have it help me (because someone told me once that “I DPS too much when my pet is helping during nonboss fights” so it left me confused). I also make sure to stay close enough with the group so I dont randomly pull in enemies while we are running around or if we are already fighting a group of enemies. During fights I dont go trigger happy so that the enemy starts leeching onto me because isnt the tank supposed to be taking the damage and I would just be helping right? But I do go fairly trigger happy on bosses but not to the point where they hop onto me.

^ Is that typically what im supposed to be doing in dungeons? Any advice for marksmanship hunter?

Ive had once or twice (the same person lol) tell me I “pull” too much and said I DPS too much. I know DPS means damage per sec but I dont exactly know what it means when someone just says my name in chat and then says “DPS” and thats it.

So the people you run dungeon with complain you doing to much DPS? Your long story is confusing as sh!t.

Right now you still very low in level just ignore those noise and focus on getting to max level at 120. At your level there not much you can there not much you can learn since you missing so much more in your talents and spells.

Not sure what level you get misdirect, its been awhile since i lvl’d up, but you should look for that and use it on CD when running dungs. I think it may be the answer to your problem. It sounds like your doing alright. Welcome to the forums and the hunter class. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

You’re definitely attacking the same target of the tank?

Threat generation was nerfed hugely in BFA so it is possible to pull a trash mob off the tank if he’s not attacking that one. If you are letting the tank attack target X first, then you attack X, then proceed to pull threat, that’s almost certainly the tank’s fault.

Feign Death resets your threat entirely, by the way.

Pretty much this. Once you get MD, make friends with it and use it often on the tanks.

I use a macro that automatically casts MD on my pet, unless I have a focus target, which I always put on the tank when I enter a dungeon.
