The core of the hunter priority

The core of the hunter priority system is to use your signature ability (BM: Kill Command, SV: Explosive Shot, MM: Chimera Shot) on cooldown without any delay. These are the main points you need to remember about focus, the hunter's resource mechanic.

• Never have your focus capped at 100% during combat as this is a DPS loss. Use focus dumps (like Arcane Shot) to prevent this.
• Always have enough focus available for your signature ability when it finishes cooldown. This requires some planning so you don't overspend focus.
• Focus has a passive regeneration component, and is also regenerated with Cobra Shot or Steady Shot.
• Always be casting something (even if it's not prioritized perfectly) on every global cooldown. This is the key to good hunter DPS.

An example of a hunter priority list for beast mastery would be the following. If the first thing on the list cannot be cast due to cooldown or lack of focus, you move onto the next item until you have something to cast.
 

1. Cast Bestial Wrath and Rapid Fire
2. Cast Kill Command on cooldown
3. Cast Kill Shot when available
4. Refresh Serpent Sting (this is normally only needed at the start of a fight since Cobra Shot refreshes it)
5. Cast level 100 talent (Glaive Toss or Barrage)
6. Cast level 75 talent if applicable
7. Cast level 60 talent if applicable
8. Cast Focus Fire when it reaches 5 stacks
9. Use Arcane Shot to dump excess focus (Multi-Shot in AoE situations)
10. Cast Cobra Shot to generate focus
