Hunter rotations

As the title says, what are you using as a hunter. Why do you think what you are using works best.

I shift to place all my weight on the ball of my right foot, then spin.

My Ranger is short of running LoMM by 1k iL or so, and so I’ve really only been doing MEs with her.

My main observation is that staying “as far away as possible” is a bad plan. It’s the #1 reason Ranged HRs do bad damage.

My 2 “must haves” are Constricting Arrow and Hindering Shot for encounters. Rapid Shot is my “go to” at-will. The third encounter can be rotated through a few different options as needed. eg Commanding Shot is good on bosses as it’s got a buff effect.

If the mobs are grouped up I start with Constricting, otherwise I start with some other single target alpha strike. Then once the mob is grouped but Constricting. Then Hindering. Then at wills while closing, swap to melee, melee from Constricting and Hindering, then back to Ranged.

This rotation usually has essentially “always up” on some Encounter power (making Jawrippers for eg being great).

My ranger is pretty end game ~24.5k IL. For my AoE build (warden trapper/blade hurricane build):

Call of the Storm
Constricting arrow,
Hindering shot,
Cordon of Arrows,
stance switch,
Hindering Strike,
Plant Growth,
x3 at will,
Steel Breeze,
x3 at will,

Repeat. The first rotation (when I have artifact up), I will blow through all of my encounters without at wills and then use envenomed storyteller's journal to reduce cool downs, legendary deep crow mount power for damage/CA buff (procs cavalry's warning), and then do the rotation above^. Call of the storm with enhanced conductivity is just insane by the way in AoE.

I'm almost always paingiver unless I'm running with a wizard at equal item level.. they are just too good in Mod 16.
