Before the new talent point trees I thought this wasn't a great help. But now it seems that Arcane shot has replaced the loved Aimed shot. First of it is instant cast and with the right spec can crit for over 1500 easily. It is worth using and putting talent point into it for the cool down.
One other thing about this shot. In Scholomance there are certain mobs that can only be damaged by magic attacks. Hunters this is about your only attack that you can do to hurt them. Trust me I have been in many instances where this attack has saved the group from a wipe. To me this is a must for all hunters.

it was recently buffed in 2.0 and now scales with AP, the more AP the more damage :) unlike before 2.0 where it hit for very little damage and wasn't worth shooting, now it seems to be a substantial part of the hunter's DPS.

Commentaire de 8089

Yeah, arcane shot was given a good buff. Since the patch I've been hit with some 2k+ arcane shots. Nearly aimed shot damage values, and instant cast.

Commentaire de 8010

How does this calculate in damage? I remembed AS being in static damage but i heard this "Before the Storm" patch buffed it significantly.

Commentaire de 8763

With WoW v.2.0, Arcane Shot got a huge buff, I am seeing crits as high as 1300, whereas before it never hit for over 450.

Commentaire de 7343

Right now a lvl 48 hunters Arcane shot does 220 damage, can crit for up to 600. It's insane, not worth spending the talents point in imp arcane shot unless you are kiting a lot.

Commentaire de 8876

Agreed. Curently, in raiding, the cooldown is unnessecary. You will not be using this much in raids.

Commentaire de 8389

this is a very useful attack,because one thing is that there are very little items in game and very few ways to build up a strong arcane resistance,meaing more damage less resistance and mana,its very good improved also,anoyther thing is it always hits with a few more damage points than it says ,very mana efficient and worth wile,great while chasing a runnner in PVP

This is basically the bread and butter of hunters with patch 2.0, IMO. With T2 gear, i have critted as much as 1.9K on arcane, 1.4K ave. it doesn't use the same cooldown as Aimed Shot anymore, that alone makes it uber. But what i love about Arcane Shot the best, is that you can shoot it while you're moving or while you're kiting. Not worth spending the talent points in Improved Arcane Shot? Think about this, 5/5 Improved arcane shot decreases the cooldown a full second, so that's a powerful shot critting for 1.4K ave., once every 5 secs. Very very useful shot in PVE and PVP. Crit twice with a multi-shot crit in between and you kill cloth-wearers with just 3 taps on your keyboard.

Very inefficient compared to steady shot, though is one of a hunter's few extra shots before reaching the BC area.

Good shot for kiting since it can be used on the move, and good for pvp.

But please don't use it every time the cooldown is up in pve. It's making your mana drain faster, for about the same effect as steady shot.

Commentaire de 57691

Range attack power times 0.15 right?
So 10 range attack power is 1.5 dmg plus the bonus?

Commentaire de Wolfos

From what I can see. Shammys will be severly done over by this (Earth shield and Shamanistic rage being magic dispel effects). Since this is an arcane school damage ability can it be affected by grounding totem? Otherwise shammys won't beat hunter 1vs1 again 0-o

Commentaire de kjeksomanen

Definitly a very very good spell. Kinda unbalanced too if you ask me.

Commentaire de 88768

Just a little theory craft.

Wep: Sunfury Bow of the Phenix and Mysterious Arrow

Steady shot will do 589 + .2* RAP

Arcane Shot will do 492 + .15 RAP.

If the expac was like the previous one with gear, Steady shot will destroy arcane shot in terms of damage.

Commentaire de 193622

Agreed... If they removed arcane shot from the 'purge' that will be a waste skill, as we knows as, chimera shot, explosion shot, kill shot got shared cooldown and they all seems stronger, less mana, or more effective in dps...

Commentaire de bero

I wouldn't use it as a survival hunter, but as a BM hunter

how can u say that when u have a great talent like Lock and Load that greatly utilize arcane shot

Commentaire de 89116

Do I get this right?

It is RAP (Ranged Attack Power) * 0.15 + 492

So if I got a RAP of 2000 it is

2000 * 0.15 + 492 = 792

So my Arcane Shot would deal 792 DMG?

If so, I glad I found out, this @ has been irritating me, but I think I'm beginning to understand the meening of all this :S
And please down downgrade just because it is a Question, might be useful for somebody...

Mana cost reduced to 5% of base (down from 7%) in 3.0.8 (7% base for lower ranks, down from 11%)

Commentaire de 241026

As of patch 3.0.8, the mana cost of this spell has been lowered to match Improved Steady Shot (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/spell=37505)

Commentaire de 149277

Just a question:
I'm new to survival spec, I've always been BM and my secondary spec was MM. With the recent patch BM is totally pointless if you want to be competitive for a DPS raid spot, and MM is inferior to Survival as well. So, much to my own disappointment I did what almost every other BM or MM hunter did, I went Survival.

So far I'm getting more DPS than the MM spec I tried.

My issue: I put Explosive shot into a cast sequence macro with serpents sting and arcane shot and after I hit explosive shot it seems to put both explosive and arcane shot on CD. Is this normal?

in case anyone wants the macro:

/castsequence reset=15/target Serpents sting, Explosive shot, Arcane shot, Explosive shot, Arcane shot, Explosive shot, Arcane shot, Explosive shot, Arcane shot

Basically I spam my steady shot and go back to this whenever it was off cooldown, but it always locked up at arcane shot.

Commentaire de Clbull

At 5000 Attack Power, this ability will just deal 1242 (492 + 750) damage. Is it just me or does that seem extremely weak for an instant ability?

I'm pretty sure that Steady Shot before the 3.0.8 nerf did even more damage than this.

Commentaire de 445357

heres another way:

1.cast hunter's mark
2.concussive shot
3.arcane shot
4.serpent sting
5.run
6.repeat when arcane shot cooldown wears off

Commentaire de Thottbot

Just wondering if anyone uses this? Does it get better in later levels? Does just just as much damage as a normal ranged attack but costs mana........I don't use it at all.

Commentaire de Thottbot

While having low damage, it's a must use instant spell that doesn't keep you from using your autoshot at the same time. If u don't have a better place to spend mana, spend some for arcane shot to improve ur overall dmg instead of watching ur mana bar.
What I wonder is, how much it can be improved with "+XX arcane spell damage" items like "... of Arcane Wrath".

Commentaire de Thottbot

Excellent for pulling(only rank 1). Only costs 25 mana which is a tiny sliver of any hunter's mana bar. And it does pathetic damage so that the tank can steal the aggro quickly.
I would also to add that this(rank 1) is sweet for pulling guards in av to your own faction's guards to take them out. 4-man pull ftw!

Commentaire de Thottbot

at Early lvls (rank 1 & 2) this will do more damage than ur bow does. Later lvls this is pointless as it does less damage than ur auto shot. Continue lvling it up though as if ur fleeing from a mob or other player u can release these upon them fast

Commentaire de Thottbot

i like it because it really doesn't take that much mana and it is an instant shot after all. a little mana for a little damage. every little bit counts

Commentaire de Thottbot

Best used when you dont have 3 seconds for an aimed shot, and you can use it on the move too

Commentaire de Thottbot

this owns later on! I can arcane shot crit for 507, just did, but my bow crits are like in the 200s XD

Commentaire de Thottbot

lvl 44 btw

Commentaire de Thottbot

ANYONE who say this spell sux is a noob that hasn't understood the real usefullness of instant cast spells. This+aspect of the cheetah=pure ownage in PvE ( assuming you have time and patiance enough) you can kite meele mobs for hours by running around in cirkels with aspect of the cheetah without the mob getting a single hit on you! Kitted down a Commander in AV to 3/4 health before i went OOM and he reseted because i ran to far away. Stil, with enough spirit/mana pots, the uselfullnes for this spell is huge. Can also b very good to steal killing blows in BGs.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Yah, I really enjoy this shot as well. I usually start with the Serpint and continue with this. Now that I have leveled a bit, I dont have much trouble with losing mana, and i usually use Arcane shot, every time it cools down. My mana sucker-ups are healing and rezzing my pet. Im one of those hunters that are a too bit reliant and attached to their pet, lol.

Commentaire de Thottbot

This may be a noob question, but what is RAP. It is some value used in the calculation of how much damage your Arcane shot does. Can someone fill me in? Thanks.

Commentaire de Thottbot

What do you guys mean by "Kiting" ?

Commentaire de Thottbot

Kiting is running from a mob while killing it at a distance so it cannot kill you.

Commentaire de Thottbot

this thing used to be worthless its now the hunters best friend since its no longer on a cooldown with aimshot its used now

Commentaire de Thottbot

I use first hunters mark then serpent sting and then I spam this and auto shot...do i use aimed in pve or multi shot 8a realy mana eather)

Commentaire de Thottbot

ok arcane shot is the ltimate hunter attack pre-BC and lv 62, its instant shot, and its ARCANE DAMAGE, meaning that no mattr how much armor they have it will always do good damage,unless they have arcane resistance on them. and for all the BM hunters, (and the few survivalist dumbasses) this hot owns because its their best shot becausethey dont have aimed shot, but i did recemtly get aimed shot (lv 64) and i am using the two together with steady shots in between (lv 62 skill), and i can down a mob quik, and i dont loose all that much mana.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Dont even bother with any moves other than autoshot and Conc. shot at 70. This was my combat log a few minutes ago:

XXXXX's Autoshot crits you for 2797
XXXXX's Autoshot crits you for 3249
You die.

GAY

Commentaire de Thottbot

Just curious, is crit chance on this determined by intel(is it considered a spell) or agility(a ranged attack)?

Thanks

Commentaire de Thottbot

Arcane shot is the hunters kill steal move in pvp. Wait behind a tree stump in wsg while ur friends r fighting pop out of nowhere when the enemies r at 1 health and arcane shot

Commentaire de Thottbot

this raged is good for you can run and shot arcane shot then serpentsting cos u have to set ceatha mark on and hunters mark to make this good
just run use arcane shot then serpent sting
then stop up and use multi shot the best way to use this is click on the Q and shot run intill a good raged attack comes up

Commentaire de Thottbot

some1 said something about he jumping method u wana hear about that method dangerous in ubrs lol my dumbass fell once lol

HUNTER SKILL

Commentaire de Allakhazam

This is very useful in instances and raid groups where the Hunter wants to pull a single mob. Low aggro, gets the job done. MT can easily take the aggro from the hunter. A macro to fire off rank 1 Arcane shot then stop the attack works very well in these situations.
