For anyone not familiar with multishot-

It is not like cleave where it hits on the next attack, its instant and pretty important in hunter dps rotations.

Comment by DrDrako

Just a few uses for this in pvp scenarios

I love using this with the "jump shot" method. jump, look back, and when u land, fire it. very useful if ur kiting 2 or more players.

Also, if ur 1v1 with a shaman, and he drops a totem, target it and cast this, i prefer this to wasting a gcd or waiting for an autoshot on the totem and doing nothing to to the shaman.

Have fun :)

So how about a Rogue in Stealth, can it shoot rogue if he is not a target ?

Comment by loik

Does this one also fall under the 10+ is lower dmg rule after te changes made to multi-shot?

I hope no, 55% weapon damage and reduced damage...
Ah and, they HAVE TO, no, they don't have to, they MUST change the ICON, we are NOT shooting a female Night Elf's weapon, and now, they REALLY MUST change it, we are NOT shooting 3 shoots anymore -.-
Edit: why downrated? O.o

Low-level hunters should avoid the redesigned multi-shot unless you have 5 or more targets. It's horribly low damage.

At level 40 my damage numbers were:

Kill Command - 40 focus (37 glyphed), about 340 damage
Multi-Shot - 40 focus, about 320 damage total with 4 targets (80 per)

Multi-shot is practically useless unless you are Survival;
As Survival, it is best not to spam this as you'll have talents such as Serpent Spread and Improved Serpent Sting.
You'll want the periodic damage to run its course while you do other things to maximize your DPS.

Good way to Maximize your AoE DPS;
While you're waiting for Improved Serpent Sting to do its damage, utilize Lock and Load and T.N.T. by using an Explosive Trap
*Explosive Trap does periodic damage to all Enemies in its radius, so the proc rate of T.N.T. is 12% times the # of Enemies in your trap.
You must apply Explosive Shot to different targets.
I suggest to tab target (or next target) spam explovsive shot to do this.
*I usually have nameplates displayed, selecting this enemies with the highest amount of hp to cast explosive shot on

Use Ice Trap after you have expended your Lock and Load charges in order to proc Lock and Load again.
*there is NO COOLDOWN on Lock and Load procs!

*You may want to interrupt this process with another Multi-Shot if your targets no longer have Improved Serpent Sting on them.
*Feel free to use trap launcher, but keep in mind that it costs focus, whereas just trapping and using Disengage is free.

Is Multi-Shot supposed to have a 1.5 sec GCD while everything else is 1 sec?

Patch 4.1.0

Multi-Shot damage has been increased by 250%.

Awesome, but i bet its a typo

Comment by RemnantRex

4.2 PTR note
Multi-Shot's damage has been reduced. It now deals 120% weapon damage at level 80 or higher, down from 137%.

It was fun while it lasted.

Comment by Bozanimal

Personally, I miss Volley. A non-targeted AoE that can be cast anywhere in front or behind the Hunter in a 40 yard radius without a cooldown? Yes, please. In fact, I miss it so much, I wrote a song about it.

To the tune of "Jack and Diane" by John Cougar Mellencamp

Little ditty about Hunter AOE
Got Multi-Shot, used to have Volley
Multi-shot's has become a Cataclysm star
Volley's long forgotten, didn't get very far

Suckin' on Serpent Spread outside the raid boss
Volley might be useful here, so it tries to get its point across
Volley say, "Hey, MS, for me this would be a breeze"
Multi-shot replied, "I don't need you, let me do what I please."

And say a

"Oh yeah raid goes on
Long after the thrill of trash AOE is gone"
Say, "Oh yeah PvP goes on
Long after the thrill of gear upgrades is gone, now rock on"

Multi-shot sits back reflects its thoughts for a moment
Realizes he has to have a target to be worth somethin'
"Well you know Volley, maybe we can get you patched back in"
Volley says, "Forget it, baby, nobody's missin nothin.'"

Multi-shot say a

"Oh yeah quests go on
Long after the thrill of levelin' is gone
Oh yeah say crafting goes on
Long after the thrill of skillups' is gone"

Gonna let it Lock
Let it Load
Let the Scarlet Crusade come down
And save my soul
Hold on to Lich King as long as you can
Cataclysm came around real soon
Made us Murlocstalkers and men

Oh yeah dailies go on
Long after the thrill of rep gains is gone
Oh yeah say Heroics go on
Long after the thrill of pugging is gone

Got Multi-Shot, used to have Volley

It's just barely above arcane shot against three targets in terms of total dps at a glance, but each spec has a way of making it do more. Or at least Survival and beast mastery do.

Comment by Eillesthis

Replaced by Sidewinders in your spell book when you choose that talent.

Comment by Tylobic

When to use Arcane Shot VS Multi-Shot:

Arcane Shot is a mono-target ability dealing of weapon's damage.
Multi-Shot is a multi-target ability dealing of weapon's damage per target.
increases Multi-Shot's damage by 60% for a total of of weapon's damage per target.

Against one enemy, always use Arcane Shot.
Against two enemies:

Either Arcane Shot if you don't have active.
Or Multi-Shot if you have active.

Against three or more enemies, always Multi-Shot.

Comment by Asstomarz

Patch 7.2 has ruined the animation for this spell. It feels completely lackluster now. You no longer fire a projectile for each mob, there is now a seemingly set amount of projectiles that you fire and they don't even connect with your target, they just fire off into oblivion. It makes me feel like I'm just hitting air. Utterly disappointed.
