Hey I'm a hunter on Destromath and I was wondering when you should use this because my regular shots do about two times what this attack does and Arcane Shot make my Aimed Shot cooldown also. So on what enemies will this be more effective?

Arcane shot is an instant cast ability. This means that you can use it while running/jumping/etc, unlike your auto/aimed shots which require you to stand still.

This is a spell and can be use with arcane potion for more damage?

like when u feel that ur target gonna get in to far away or to close before u have got off a aimedshot

It's not a spell, but it can get its damage increased by items that increase spelldamage. However, it's only 42% efficent, meaning for instance that if you got +100 spelldamage, your arcane shot will gain 42 damage.

Noobs, the use of this is that it's instant cast. Let's say the cooldown on your bow, gun, etc. is 2.10, ok? You can shoot this and it doesn't have anything to do with the speed of your weapon. It will just do it, so you can shoot this and you may shoot a regular shot at about the same time? So what is the point of this? It adds to your dps, it's like a rogue's sinister strike, it doesn't say "On next melee attack" it's instant cast and instantly does damage.

i Hate Arcane Shot, i mean 190 Mana for 183 damage?

yes this is instant but

this are some instant spells, and the damage they have, and DPS added in long battles this also does not consider + damage spell gear.

mana damage DPS addedn in
cost: long battles
WarlokConflagrate____255 447 to 557 50-DPS
ShamanEarth Shock___450 517 to 545 90-DPS
MageFire Bast_______340 431 to 509 58-DPS
hunterArcane Shot___190 181 30-DPS

damage per mana used.

Conflagrate 1.96 damage/1mana
Earth Shock 1.18 damage/1mana
Fire Bast 1.38 damage/1mana
Arcane Shot 0.95 damage/1mana

resume
30 extra dps on long battles...
0.95 damage per 1 mana...
in a 2 min fight if you spam this, you
would spend 3800 mana and do 3620 damage...

thats why i hate arcane shot, soo if you are gona be on a >2min fight, dont use Arcane Shot, Multiple Shot adds a lot more of DPS on long battles.

earlier ranks were more efficient... well actually this skill was NEVER efficient but earlier ranks did more damage compared to your weapon damage. At 60 it will do 1/2 or 1/3 weapon damage which is crap and with 1:1 damage per mana this is so inefficient it will drain mana superduper fast.

Only use that i see for this rank is.. of course placing this in a lowbies face (which usually crits for ~300 dmg) and 1 shots them which is funny cuz it ends their life in less than a sec.
Also another reason for it is possibly, if a player is running from you for some stupid reason (never run from hunters it just prolongs death trust me) then u will only be able to spam this and concuss and DOT then and multishot if your quick about it.

Arcane shot now does MORE damage (not sure of the amount for higher levels, only lvl 42 myself right now). It now also has a seperate timer from Aimed shot. throw in a moonkin druid and this becomes better to use post-2.0 than multishot since it doesn't have the change to gain aggro on untagged mobs, nor unsheep/sap/whatever other adds.

At lvl 60 (my current ranged weapon is Blackcrow and I have 44 points in MM) with Trueshot+AotH Arcane Shot Crits at ~1200 damage against lvl 60 mobs. Compare that to my Aimed Shot which crits at ~1800. I would make that damage difference up in the time it takes to fire an Aimed Shot, and probably more if I crit on Auto.
In addition I have a point in Go For The Throat and I often whack in an Arcane Shot when my pet's focus is low just in case it crits.
Also, don't forget Arcane Shot can affect targets that are immune to physical damage.

Can we get a confirmation that spell damage still applies / applies to arcane shot with Before the storm patch?

A hunter could probably get some benefit from the GM mageblade if it does.

Thx for enlightening me :)

Or you could use every spell you have at your disposal and run out of mana after every fight, that's my approach on it anyhow. Of course against single targets I wouldn't waste mana on multishot or volley. I have a level 40 hunter all beast spec. I love it.

I prefer to use the fastest ranged weapon I can find near my level, even giving up some DPS for it because the arcane shot makes a much more noticable impact on the mob when your regular attacks are only doing 2/3rds of its damage. I know it probably doesn't matter but its just the mentality. If you are just tossing another bullet into the mix who cares, but if the bullet is more powerfull than the other ones, it's like hell yeah :)

Oh and for the ppl wondering about +spell damage, a friend told me and I agree, that now that Attack Power is factored into AS's Damage, it would be far more worth while to go for attack power since that affects your normal shots as well. Of course if you wanted to you could swap in a weapon with plus spell damage right before you fire an AS then swap back out, but I don't think hunters really need to be that desperate for extra dps. Pls leave the spell damage items for the classes that actually cast spells.

Arcane shot goes through BoP. Ever had a pally use his lesser bubble on himself then bandage <-- arcane shot!

Comentado por Thottbot

what are you criting on this 'spell'?

Comentado por Thottbot

I have a 61 hunter and this is by far my favorite shot. I am BM/MM and this shot hits for at least 350 and crits for up to 900. The damage cant be mitigated by armor so its great on plate wearing pallies and warriors. Whoever posted the comment about it only causing 183 damage must have no AP whatsoever. It is well worth the 190 mana.BTW aimed shot is what sucks 3.5 seconds for slightly more damage than an instant cast shot, not to mention all the auto shots you miss waiting and praying the damn aimed shot will crit to make it worth it.
