Marksmanship Hunter DPS The Eternal Palace Raid Guide — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.2.5

In this section, you will find information and guidance for Marksmanship Hunters on each boss individually in the Eternal Palace raid. These are not complete encounter guides, but rather provide specific tips for doing the bosses as a Marksmanship Hunter.

The page will be filled out based on live server experience with the bosses, after the raid releases on the 9th of July.

We advise you to use the following talents against Abyssal Commander Sivara.

• Level 15: Master Marksman
• Level 30: Careful Aim
• Level 45: Natural Mending
• Level 60: Hunter's Mark
• Level 75: Born To Be Wild or Posthaste
• Level 90: Double Tap
• Level 100: Calling the Shots

When you have the Frost debuff and have to keep moving, we recommend continuously jumping as far as your rotation allows it. This is more efficient than moving around.

Aspect of the Turtle can be used to solo-soak Overflowing Venom / Overflowing Chill, which helps you with raid DPS as it means that only you have to place the pool it creates, letting other ranged stand still.

For more information, please refer to our Abyssal Commander Sivara strategy guide.

We advise you to use the following talents against Blackwater Behemoth.

• Level 15: Master Marksman

We advise you to use the following talents against Lady Ashvane.

• Level 45: Natural Mending
• Level 60: Hunter's Mark
• Level 75: Born To Be Wild or Posthaste

You can use Aspect of the Turtle in order to not get affected by the Briny Bubbles. Simply cast it shortly before the debuff expires, while ensuring that you are not close to anyone else. You can use Born To Be Wild to do this more often.

For more information, please refer to our Lady Ashvane strategy guide.

We advise you to use the following talents against Orgozoa.

• Level 15: Master Marksman
• Level 30: Careful Aim
• Level 45: Natural Mending
• Level 60: Hunter's Mark
• Level 75: Born To Be Wild or Posthaste
• Level 90: Double Tap
• Level 100: Calling the Shots

Your focus should primarily be on dealing boss DPS on this fight, with adds being a very minor consideration for you.

For more information, please refer to our Orgozoa strategy guide.

We advise you to use the following talents against The Queen's Court.

• Level 15: Master Marksman
• Level 30: Careful Aim
• Level 45: Natural Mending
• Level 60: Hunter's Mark
• Level 75: Born To Be Wild or Posthaste
• Level 90: Double Tap
• Level 100: Calling the Shots

Aspect of the Turtle can be used to solo-soak the Frenetic Charge, which saves your raid a lot of DPS by not having a lot of ranged DPS move to your location.

You can also use Feign Death to negate the charge. If you do it successfully, there will be no damage, no knockback, and it will not leave a pool behind. You have to Feign Death immediately when the boss targets you with the Frenetic Charge, and remain Feigned until it is over. Do not touch your mouse buttons while Feigned, as it is easy to break Feign on accident.

For more information, please refer to our The Queen's Court strategy guide.

We advise you to use the following talents against Za'qul, Harbinger of Ny'alotha.

• Level 15: Master Marksman
• Level 30: Careful Aim
• Level 45: Natural Mending
• Level 60: Hunter's Mark
• Level 75: Born To Be Wild or Posthaste
• Level 90: Double Tap
• Level 100: Calling the Shots

Aspect of the Turtle can be used to reset stacks of Hysteria, which is particularly useful when you are about to enter Delirium.

In the Fear Phase, you can reset Hysteria by casting Turtle at ~11-12 seconds left on the debuff, and then cancelling it with 9 seconds left.

You effectively immune the debuff's refresh at the 10-second mark, and after this it will expire, resetting your stacks.

Duck and Cover can be used defensively before Manic Dread, and to stay inside Delirium longer.

For more information, please refer to our Za'qul, Harbinger of Ny'alotha strategy guide.

We advise you to use the following talents against Queen Azshara.

• Level 15: Master Marksman
• Level 30: Careful Aim
• Level 45: Natural Mending
• Level 60: Hunter's Mark
• Level 75: Born To Be Wild or Posthaste
• Level 90: Double Tap
• Level 100: Calling the Shots

Hunters can pick Essence of the Focusing Iris Major and deal very good damage to the Devoted adds that spawn on both Heroic and Mythic difficulty. This is only worth it if you are not meeting the DPS check otherwise.
