Tracking: When activated a tracking spells shows the locations of a specific type of mob on your Maple Story mesos mini map. If you have track beasts active you will see several red dots on your map for every beast type mob in the immediate area.
Tracking spells are very situational but can be very helpful when working with a group or doing PVP. One problem with tracking spells is that you can only have one active at a time. This includes resource tracking like find minerals or herbs.
Ranged DPS: Shot Rotations
Being able to DPS effectively requires more then just sitting back and auto shooting; you need to use all of your shots and stings as well. But you can't just button mash and spam your abilities either.
The key to hunter DPS is to create what is known as a Shot Rotation. A shot rotation revolves around your Auto Shots and the window of time between each one.
During this time you can use one of your other abilities like Arcane or Multi shot. But if you don't time your shots right you will go long and cancel out one of your auto shots, losing DPS.
The greatest difficulty for creating a shot rotation is dealing with cool-downs and global cool-downs. If you had a weapon with a 2.50 attack speed you would have two and a half seconds to use one of your special shots before auto shot was fired again.
