Hunters BiS ammo by far is Doomshot, it drops off Shadow Hunter Vosh’gajin in LBRS. This boss is soloable with practice and the right specs. You need one spec to be BM so your pet is tanky enough and can dispel polymorph via mend pet. The other ideally Survival to reduce the chance your Feign Death resists on the way to the boss. On average (not including mistakes or RNG leading to death) it takes ~10 minutes to clear and reset. Each time Doomshot drops you get somewhere between 70-190 arrows.
In my last 36 runs I’ve had Doomshot drop 5 times, netting ~650 arrows. For MC you need 600-700 arrows for use on bosses only. So I’ve done roughly 6 hours of farming for my BiS ammo and still might not have enough for one raid. I’m fine with having to work for my ammo but this is too much.
Blizzard, for P5 please implement an alternative to doomshot, a different way to acquire it (reals, firelands ember, crafting, etc), or increase the drop rate substantially (to 100%).

Couldn’t agree more, this is one major reason I dropped my Hunter.

It is seriously not fun to have to grind LBRS for 2-5 hours every week just so I can get enough ammo to have a chance at parsing. For a seasonal server this is an excessive grind that drives people away from playing hunter. Please give us a purchasable bis ammo via gold, embers, etc

We already had new ammo once in SOD just do it again. Give us bloodied arrows that we can turn bijous in for or something

Doomshot is not mandatory though. That’s just you wanting to push that extra bit of dps. If you want the arrows so bad then you will have to work for it and earn it. Like you said you can farm it and you do so keep at it and let it be that much more rewarding. They wont just hand you it… Plenty of top parsing hunters do not use those arrows. Hope you have a great day Peanut

You’re right, it’s not mandatory, I could use the arrows from lvl 1 and still get by. However I don’t think I’m alone in striving to push for the most I can do with my class. The next best arrows are Thorium which add 17.5 dps while Doomshot adds 20. It makes a difference. I never suggested they just hand them to us, I even mentioned I’m fine to work for my ammo, all of my suggestions involve earning it. Have a good one

I wouldnt pay replies that any mind, those are the type of players to go into raid and 9 parse and be happy that they are dead weight.
As if maximizing your characters performance is somehow a bad thing.
To your point they should add it to a vendor for 1 of the newer currencies.

These arrows were never necessary in order to parse a 99, a lot of people don’t bother farming them.

Av ammo is 16.5 dps thats only 3.5 less dps. Your telling me your farming a boss for hours on end for 3.5 dps… isn’t this less than 1% damage difference.

I think an easier resolution here would be to convince WCL to invalidate Doomshot

The dps is applied to your Damage stat, which scales. It’s not a flat +3.5 dps improvement over Ice threaded arrows.

This is not only untrue but also just an example of how someone can come into a forum post and make a profoundly uneducated claim. Please look at the hunter sim so you can correctly gauge the amount of dps that is added by using doomshot then come back and correct your error.

0.1% is the difference no one cares about your sims or your logs

You can claim that all you want but your someone who thinks logs or sims are important in this game and its laughable

They add about 20 dps. If you weren’t parsing without them then you aren’t parsing with them

While logs or sims might not be important to you, which is totally fine, there is a large group who enjoy the competition they bring. No one is telling you how to play or what to do to enjoy in the game. Not only is your .1% math wrong, you haven’t stated anything regarding how this potential change would negatively impact your style of play.
