    Straight>venomous>wind bite>heavy shot until straighter shot procs.
    Always use blood letter and miserys end when they are off cd and weave buffs between shots when applicable.

    Straight shot>bloodletter>Internal release,Hawke eye>Venomous bite>raging strikes, barrage>windbite>flaming arrow. switch to another mob for trash, and apply double dots, and go back to the first one and use heavy shot, bloodletter, and straighter shot when it pops. obviously reapplying if it doesnt, and keeping dots up. DOts on two mobs will change your life, using bloodletter every 2 seconds, and pull no hate if your tank is smart. a lot of people use one buff and then a GC, but i find you can fit in 2 before GC resets. Im currently working on getting blood for blood, but internal release, straight shot with 4 dots up, i use bloodletter more than heavy shot on GC,just make sure you re-target the first mob, and switch back to use bloodletter if it pops between Gc of dots on the second mob.

    Honest question, why do you prioritize Venomous bite over Windbite when its a higher potency dot? wouldn't you want to get the stronger one rolling first? o.O

    For long fights (or when I don't care either way) I'd prioritize Windbiter. For really short fights, though, Venomous front loads more of its damage. Mind you, it'd have to be shorter than 12 seconds for it to matter, as at that point the two dots match. Anything past that and Windbiter wins.

    actually it doesnt really matter what dot you apply first since all dots on the server tick at the same time...
