Have some questions as I get better with my hunter esp in arena.
-How do you avoid breaking traps with so much aoe from things like wildfire bomb and dot ticks from it or serpent sting esp if it spreads through wildfire bomb aoe distribution of poison
-In arena do you tend to spread dots but still maintain focus target? Ie aim wildfire to try to get the dot on all 2 / 3 targets
-How bursty is survival with good gear?
- bloodseeker vs murder of crows? Which is best?
-does bloodseeker stack bleeds if multiple kill commands are used within the 10 seconds?
-vipers venom vs alpha predator? Seems if bloodseeker is better than alpha is an obvious choice. Thoughts?
Lots of questions I know but I really appreciate the help!
Don’t press bomb when trap is out unless target is far enough away from trap.
Serpent sting doesn’t spread off poison bomb, it refreshes.
Single target mostly, swapping all your damage on defensive cds is more effective than trying to rot. There is a few comps when keeping up serpent on more than 1 target is good like Scatter, but don’t go out of your way to do it. You can use something like
/use [mouseover, exists] Serpent Sting
/use Serpent Sting
This way you don’t have to keep looking at people just to apply a dot.
No best, crows is burst bloodseeker is more sustained. If your comp is high burst and trap is one of 2-3cc’s on your team then it becomes more important to do as much damage as possible in trap window, so crows is better for that. If you have extra cc then bloodseeker offers more sustained. I use this more often because of its snergy with AP and to bleed rogues when it looks like they are about to vanish.
On paper and in sims vipers venom is better and does more damage but alpha predator makes more focus. Wing clip is extremely expensive it cost 30 focus and should only be used for emergency peels. Someone running at your healer because he is trying to drink or priest trying to run in on your healer for fear. From my exp I never have the extra focus to do those peels running vipers venom.
