Solution for Furious Howl BUG ?

[Aztrid]

Here is the bug in question:
http://report.nostalrius.org/plugins/tracker/?aid=2417

"Description
If the hunter receives FH buff when any of his shots is in the fly time - FH buff will disappear from hunter without any effect, because that shot hasn't been buffed, but it counts like your next attack. In this situation you'll just waste FH without reason."

So if FH is macroed with aimed or multi shot it will never work as there will be an auto shot in flight. (considering we are not clipping auto shots)

Has anyone figured a good way to use furious howl for self buff in raids?

The only way I can see is to manually click it when there is no arrow in flight, which is insane for just + ~5dps...

FH gives static damage increase.
It won't increase your Aimed Shot weapon scaling from weapon damage. It just adds extra ~50 damage to it. The mechanic of this spell works as intended btw. I don't think that bug is valid, it's just the matter of proper use.

So there's no difference between buffing Auto-Shot or Aimed shot. In your Auto-Multi-Auto-Aimed-Auto-Auto rotation....

After green Auto-shot hits target -- HERE comes your FH buff for the next Auto(the only safe moment where shots are not in fly time, when Multi and Aimed on cooldown).

Aimed \ Multi macroses are bad because very often hunter receives FH during their cast time because of delay, which leads to wasting FH buff.

Anyway, ZG serpent will be better than any wolf (Lupos won't be fixed, so I am thinking to replace him), so FH buffing won't be actual at all.

The actual bug is that it gets consumed by "spell effects" like serpent sting.
