| − | '''Steady Shot''' is a steady shot that causes unmodified weapon damage, plus ammo, plus X. Causes an additional Y damage against Dazed targets. Note that all shots have a .5 second hidden cast time, so the effective base casting time of this spell in-game is 2 seconds, as it appears in the in-game tooltip (but not necessarily retrieved from db sites). |

Thrall, however, is not convinced that Grom can control his bloodlust. He orders Grom to take his clan to the northern forests and construct a settlement while the rest of the Horde seeks out the Oracle. |
||
| − | * Unlike [[Arcane Shot]], Steady Shot cannot be used while running. |

| − | == Tips and tactics == |
||
| − | To understand how steady shot is affected by [[haste rating]]s it's important to understand how haste is calculated. A haste bonus is multiplied by frequency to achieve post-haste speed. World of Warcraft expresses all speeds as period rather than frequency, so the period must be divided by 1+bonus. |
||
| − | |||
| − | As for example in the above case: |
||
| − | {{Example/Begin}} |
||
| − | Steady Shot Cast Time = 2 / 1.15 (hunter base ranged haste) / 1.2 (Serpent's Swiftness) = 1.4493 |
||
| − | <br/>1.4493 + 0.5 + 0.2 = 2.149 |
||
| − | <br/>2.149 x 1.15 x 1.2 = 2.966 |
||
| − | {{Example/End}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | Steady Shot is affected by Haste bonuses including that granted by [[Auto Shot]] and [[Serpent's Swiftness]]. It is also affected by ranged attack speed bonuses including [[Rapid Fire]] and [[Bloodlust]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Hunters are the only class whose [[GCD]] is unaffected by haste. For this reason, hunters who are specializing in the [[Beast Mastery]] tree and who have [[Serpent's Swiftness]] will find additional haste from gear to be almost worthless. Even if Steady Shot completes in 1.4493 seconds, it still cannot be fired again until 1.5 seconds have passed. |

The battle
After days of marching across the barrens, Thrall's troops are growing restless. Thrall, however, assures them that all will be well when they reach the Oracle.
Suddenly, they stumble upon Grom Hellscream and his Warsong Clan battling a group of humans. Thrall and his warriors rush to Hellscream's aid and the orcs defeat the humans. After the battle, Grom tells Thrall that the humans, led by a "frail girl", have blockaded the passage to Stonetalon Peak. Thrall decides that they should look for a means to bypass the humans. He orders Grom to leave the humans alone for the time being.
Grom returns to his camp while Thrall constructs his own base. A short time later, a troll scout reports that there is a nearby Goblin Laboratory selling Zeppelins. If they can acquire the Zeppelins, the orcs will be able to fly past the human forces. However, as Thrall makes preparations to secure the Zeppelins, Grom gives into his bloodlust and starts attacking the humans. The humans launch a counterattack against the orcs forcing Thrall to fight back.
After fending off repeated human attacks, Thrall leads his forces toward the Goblin Laboratory. They are forced to destroy at least one human base blocking the way. The Goblin Laboratory itself is surrounded by hostile Centaurs and Harpies. Thrall defeats these creatures and hires the Zeppelins he needs. He then flies them back to his base.
Despite having achieved his goal, Thrall is greatly upset. Many lives have been lost in a battle that could have been avoided. Thrall confronts Grom and angrily rebukes him for disobeying orders. Grom is defiant at first, but then backs down and apologizes for his disobedience. Thrall, however, is not convinced that Grom can control his bloodlust. He orders Grom to take his clan to the northern forests and construct a settlement while the rest of the Horde seeks out the Oracle.
