I’d like to share with the world this screenshot.

That is in fact 12,586 Attack Power. (And just shy of 74% crit, but let’s chalk that down to master tactician and be on our merry way!)
But still, 12,586 ap. I think I capped at 8kish on Elam. For Darwinism (as survival for Putricide!), though, I had your very generic buffs:
- 5592 Base Attack Power. (Not a buff, but I threw it out there because there’s no where else to put it.)
- 300 from Dhawk
- Gift of the Wild
- Kings
- Imp. Blessing of Might, 655 ap yeeea.
- Arcane Brilliance
- Fish Feast.
- Horn of Winter
- Trueshot Aura. Just because I find SV works better for me on Putricide does not mean our other hunters get similar results.
More important than the buffs though, I managed to stack a significant number of procs into one teeny space of time:
- 320 AP from Furious Howl
- 480 AP from Ashen Verdict ring
- Around 615 AP from Expose Weakness (assuming it was going by the agility on my character sheet at that time)
- 10% AP from Call of the Wild
- 1200 Attack Power from Death Bringer’s Will. Not going to lie, I cannot get over how incredibly cool this trinket is. I’ll rave about it tomorrow when I have more time.
I also prepotted the pull and had Rapid Fire going, which was pretty fun. SV definitely has less burst than MM, but getting Lock and Load procs (that giant red Power Aura is telling me I have one, while the small orange power aura is my ring proc and the timer is my Deathbringer’s Will proc) at 12,586 ap is not something I’m going to sneeze at!
Unfortunately, despite my 5-10 seconds of godly attack power, we were not able to down Putricide tonight. Our closest attempt had him at 25k hit points. 25k. As in, a good kill shot.
Next week we’ll one shot, totally! Until then, though, he’s perfected a plague that will destroy all life on Azeroth! Gird your loins.

Great googly moogly! I get excited over 6k. Well done, sir!
Still, needs moar Beast Mastery, imo.
Nerf Ret Pallies and Arcane Mages!

Hehe. Fun fact: I have actually never specced Beast Mastery. Ever. As in, my character has existed for two years this may and she’s yet to spec Beast Mastery. :3
However, I just spent a ton of stone keeper’s shards and emblems of triumph on leveling gear for a second hunter, who will be leveling BM. I want a rhinoceros!

74% crit? Do you have silly ass crit cap problems like enhance shamans do?
January 30, 2010 at 3:34 pm
Nope. Crit cap for hunters is 100% in most cases.
(Special cases would be like Kill Shot for SV which has 15% crit through talents, so it caps at 85%.)
It’s pretty awesome.

1.48 speed… That’s like 100% haste… what.. .the… hell…

Prepotted Potion of Speed + Rapid Fire. I only have 114 haste from gear, and that’s only because I got the gun off lanathiel last night. When this screenshot was taken, I had like 80 haste from gear, if that.
Oh, and 3% from boomkin aura, ofc.
