Even if your talents/gems/glyphs/reforging aren’t very optimized, odds are you aren’t really seeing that difference. But if you have even a moderate slip on skill issues, it’s immediately apparent.

So let’s today step back a moment and consider hunter skill once again. We’re all used to obsessing over every tiny part of character optimization, so we’re going to put skill into terms that correlate to that: DPS.[hide]Continue reading Scattered Shots: The DPS value of skill[/hide]Filed under: [hide]Hunter[/hide], [hide](Hunter) Scattered Shots[/hide][hide]Scattered Shots: The DPS value of skill[/hide] originally appeared on [hide]WoW Insider[/hide] on Thu, 14 Jul 2011 18:00:00 EST.
