You know you don't get Honor Points from heroic runs right? You need to grind Battlegrounds in order to get the Wrathful PvP weapons. In which case, I'd look for a healbot to queue with.

Actually, you get a very small amount of honor points atm for killing a Heroic boss.

Offtopic but Marksman Related question, do we still need to refresh serpent sting if our T10 2-pc bonus proc's to carry it throughout the fight?
Or did they do away with my free 15% increased serpent sting.
I believe the DoT now properly updates for the duration of the proc.

As I understand it, refreshing Serpent Sting with Chimera Shot does not actually refresh it but applies a new Serpent Sting at your current stats so trying to roll the 15% AP buff won't work.Actually, you get a very small amount of honor points atm for killing a Heroic boss.
I've been Honor capped for so long that I haven't noticed this.

I've learned that you only get the honor if your factoin controls Wintergrasp...which Alliance never does on my server.

Yes, I'm on a PvP server and I'm gearing up a Mage for Cata. I started the day with 213 Honor and I chained enough random heroics to get
Belt of Omission
for 695 Justice Points. When I logged off, I still had only 213 Honor Points. I haven't done any PvP on this toon so the only reason I have any is from doing random heroics. Since
Stone Keeper Shards
no longer exist, killing a boss with the
Essence of Wintergrasp
buff seems to award Honor Points instead.

I wouldn't complain and just ride the wave to free Epics.

It's because it isn't applying the "missile" portion of the Serpent Sting ability.

Ah. That's probably why (my server always has Wintergrasp on my faction).

I'm pretty sure iSS ignores crits, so it multiplies the base damage of each tick by the duration and then takes 30% of that number. Which is why it hits so hard as SV with all the +elemental damage and is just kind of meh as BM.

For my Hunter, a non-crit Chimera Shot hits for an average of 7238 damage. My Serpent Sting non-crits tick for 1671 damage 5 times over 15 seconds, making it's total damage be 8355. 30% of that value, which is what Imp. Serpent Sting would hit for, is 2507. So if you were to manually refresh Serpent Sting every time you'd be getting an extra 2507 damage for a cost of 25 focus, or you could let Chimera Shot do it for 7238 damage for 50 focus and essentially just give you free damage from extending a Serpent Sting that would be otherwise useless and pop off an Arcane Shot (5474 damage) instead. Improved Serpent Sting is essentially useless for MM. I hope they allow Cobra Shot to benefit from this talent or it will become useless for anything other than buffing Serpent Spread for Survival Hunters.
