I know what you mean about bad players in them but I find it hard to believe that I am the only person that goes in there and actually tries to do good and practice.<br /><br />At the moment, looking at WoL and at them is the only thing I can compare against. Being I am not raiding on that character at the moment the LFR is the perfect place to judge. <br /><br />I do not have anything that the average player would not have the ability to get easily and if I did 50K I would feel bad about it. <br /><br />Either way, on multiple characters going through there the odds should be that I would occasionally see at least one hunter like myself, that actually tries, even if they are not great, and it just does not happen. (actually happened once, saw a SV hunter doing over 100K on every fight when I was healing)<br /><br />Hate to break it to you but the average hunter can not break 50K. You, me, others that try, are not average. We actually try. As someone once told me here, that makes us the minority, a very small minority. Unlike them if we do 80K we look and see how we can get more next time, if they do 52K they throw a party being they broke 50K.<br /><br />That is the average hunter. You are free to disagree, but that is the average hunter as I see it and I have done the LFR a lot since it came out. Heck, if anything I would even go as far as saying 40K is the standard in 480 gear.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-57263771207278931852012-12-11T03:41:56.217-05:002012-12-11T03:41:56.217-05:00To be fair, you probably can count on one hand the...To be fair, you probably can count on one hand the number of people doing over 50k in LFR. No matter what their class. <br /><br />Part of the issue is that for the most part, the good raiders are not doing LFR. I was unlucky with the drops on the 2nd set of Sigils, so I was doing LFR up till last reset to complete my legendary quest. <br /><br />But now that I am done, I doubt I will be going in there again. Unless I need the valor, and there are easier ways to get it. I suspect that is true of most people. So LFR might not be the best way to tell how people are doing.<br /><br />I agree that hunters are complicated now. However I love that. I love the challenge of getting things perfect. I think it may of come as a bit of a shock to people that used to play hunters because they thought it was easy. I have not found it too hard to get used to though.<br /><br />I do not use any addon to follow the cooldown on my abilities. It just feels natural to me now and although taking away a few buttons might make it easier. It is not beyond what people are able to cope with now.<br /> <br /><br /><br />Celeggurnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-65649615747972745522012-12-10T11:12:38.739-05:002012-12-10T11:12:38.739-05:00Then that means there are a lot of bad ones out th...Then that means there are a lot of bad ones out there because I can count on 1 hand, make that 1 finger, the number of hunters I've seen in LFR doing over 50K.<br /><br />Hunters are capable of being near the top still, but it is not easy. You need to manage a million buttons, so many conditional priorities to those buttons, and have lady luck on your side to do decently.<br /><br />I can't see how it is even remotely possible to do passable DPS without having what sometimes seems like a million timers on your screen. At least for me. I've never felt like I had to do so much work to play a game as I do when I am on my hunter.<br /><br />Needless to say it is more satisfying when I finish #1 and that happens but it is bad design that hunters have been put in such a position that they have so much to do while many other classes can still get by using only 3 buttons and beat us easily.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-20073629895144368492012-12-10T10:35:06.851-05:002012-12-10T10:35:06.851-05:00While crits can be good and bad.

Yes mages and warlocks are a bit OP right now. But we are hardly rubbish.Celeggurnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-10445414178377386832012-12-10T09:27:34.196-05:002012-12-10T09:27:34.196-05:00The LFR logs are not the best but it does give you...The LFR logs are not the best but it does give you a basis to look and compare.<br /><br />On average I suck at the burst phase. I am like you, might peak over 200K for a split second, but that is about it and that is rare.<br /><br />If you look at the sha numbers I mentioned in the LFR I would be top 10 on one attempt, and would not even rank in the other attempt.<br /><br />That is why I say it is luck, there is no way a person capable of doing top 10 could not even rank the next time. Just a large series of luck critical strikes that took advantage of the coding errors in one attempt and no luck in the other.<br /><br />Top 5 in LFR is not bad, remember, you are a hunter and those other people are SUPPOSED to be beating you.<br /><br />If you are in the LFR and not getting beat by mages and locks and any melee under the sun the people in your LFR suck.<br /><br />I love going with guild on tuesday, me and two other hunters, we are always 1, 2, and 3. The only fight we are not 1, 2 and 3 on are ones where we are beat by guild members but we are still always over every single pug in there.<br /><br />We should not be, hunters are supposed to be dead last.<br /><br />Heck, one of the hunters in my guild that I have been working with is pulling over 100K on every LFR fight, in BM. We do not run logs for the LFR but he would be #1 on every single fight in the LFR, by a HUGE margin.<br /><br />Goes to show you how bad everyone in the LFR is.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-73088078855882751872012-12-10T08:41:35.411-05:002012-12-10T08:41:35.411-05:00Looking at WoL parses for LFR runs this weekend, t...Looking at WoL parses for LFR runs this weekend, the biggest burst I've been able to pull is 180K. I'm not good at lining up 20 things in a row and watching the CDs and timing everything. Nor do I enjoy that type of gameplay.<br /><br />My dps is consistently at 70-80% of the ranking limit for LFR and those that are ranked have 10+ ilvls higher gear. These last two weeks I've been in the top 5 dps in the LFR runs I've been in. I hate to say it but that's good enough for me; screw the luck or the perfect burst rotation. I just don't care. That's not how I want to play the game.Jaegernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-74276902810234383742012-12-10T07:16:02.888-05:002012-12-10T07:16:02.888-05:00I do understand the "luck" factor with p...I do understand the "luck" factor with procs lining up but even if it is not a critical strike figure error it is still a luck factor with procs. Luck should never play that much of a factor, ever.<br /><br />What you are trying to get at has been said many times before, by myself even, that it is percentage based. If something is a 10% variance, which is not bad, and then you keep adding bigger and bigger numbers that 10% looks a lot bigger even if it is still only 10% in fact. But when you are go 10% either way the bigger the numbers are the bigger the gap appears just by looking at numbers.<br /><br />Now add the luck of one, or maybe two trinkets procing, the bow enhancement procing, using a pot, under effects of other outside abilities and those numbers can get huge and that 10% means a ton more.<br /><br />I can burst over 200K. Lets just look at that. With luck on my burst I have peaked at 290K and have been as low as 70K. Both on burst, both using the same gear. I do not care if the test on the dummy says differently, that is all luck based and nothing else.<br /><br />There should never be a deviation that large. Ever. Same person, same gear, same target dummy, same skill set, same rotation, should return the same results. 10% higher or lower, sure, not the difference of 70K-290K. That is coding error, nothing more.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-24649749348683585702012-12-10T07:09:15.319-05:002012-12-10T07:09:15.319-05:00Trust me, a lot of it is luck when it comes to cri...Trust me, a lot of it is luck when it comes to critical strikes.

Do some 5 min dps rotations and record what crits you get with abilities , do that over period of days couple of times a day. And you will find that the numbers wont vary a lot. <br />I can try to explain why you might be getting lucky with big crits , there are lot of procs that can happen , and say if you have the scope proc + dmc proc + some other random proc , thats a lot of extra stats and if you get a crit during these procs then it will be massive. I can suggest you to get an addon which displays your current RAP/Crit/Haste and you can anticipate better crits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-52307475824498878802012-12-07T20:06:37.050-05:002012-12-07T20:06:37.050-05:00I've been lucky a few times.

I've spents 10s of hours fishing to try and get it... <br />Either my dps really sucks or I cannot get those lucky crits. I think I saw a 69K dps during my lfr runs last week as the maximum with 479 ilvl. I'll run them again and parse my logs this weekend to dig into it more.<br />Jaegernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-10778125810849995622012-12-07T15:13:30.793-05:002012-12-07T15:13:30.793-05:00Just would like to mention that I've only seen...Just would like to mention that I've only seen the TLPD once.
