Interesting indeed.
The only reason I can assume that they did this, if its not a mistake is for hit rating from BiS gear... I haven't worked out the actual % of hit from the gear, currently at work, but I do wonder what it would be.
Plus, take into consideration that, that particular spec is not bringing any raid buffs.

Speaking of the newest spreadsheet, if you have a look at the gear planner, is anyone else seeing figures larger then what they usually have been.
For example:
Upgrading to Saronite Mesh Legguards from T8.5 supposedly grants 2147.78 dps increase!
Just want to see if anyone else is getting this, or if it is just me?

T7.5 Shoulders appear as BiS for me as well, which I have always thought sort of odd.
The spreadsheet does help to a degree, however I believe that once you hit a certain level, you can pretty much make gear lists in your head / make your own and still come out on top.
Simplistically however, it is a free way to test out spec/gear/glyph etc changes.
I realise that the thread/spreadsheet provides details on pure personal dps, I just like to make the point of it missing raid utility :P

If you can actually guarantee that you have the dranei racial, then simply take a point out of Focused Aim, and possibly dump it into Improved Arcane.
You wont get much of a benefit from placing it into anything else. Rapid Recup is an option, but I would only take that if you are actually having mana burning issues.

The biggest reason we dont stack ArP in gem slots at the moment, is that Piercing Shots procs off our crits. Agi increases our chance to get a critical shot, thus increase chance of Piercing Shots to proc.
BiS gear, I am assuming has plenty of ArP, which benefits MM hunters more so then any other.
It could well be indeed that Steady would do more then Arcane in this instance. Considering that the current listed BiS
2h weapon
,
head slot
,
shoulders
(personal pick),
legs
,
boots
,
rings
(both)
as listed by the spreadsheet, all have ArP, it would be very interesting to see what the actual numbers would be dps wise.

Efficiency will not increase your dps.
I think that you would actually find a loss if you specced into it. That is 5 points that can best be spent elsewhere.
Savage, to answer your question, yes we do use Arcane shot. It is one of our hardest hitting shots.
Side note: doing yogg last night, I noticed that I had a Chimera hit for around 14k and an Arcane around 10k. That damage bonus certainly helps from time to time :P

yeah someone didn't read the tooltip right
And it wasn't me. Read it again. And read the tooltip again.
Would've been alot clearer if you had used the word pushback.
At any rate, that really shouldn't matter. I don't get beat on while DPSing often, and when i do I'm usually dead in a few hits anyway.
I would imagine that the gear they are using has very little hit rating on it, and the 3 points in FA allow for better itemization.
I'm using 1 point in FA right now for basically the same reason. I'm getting more DPS with that point in FA than i would moving it to 2/3 Hunting Party and making up another 32 hit via gear.
