I have the MoS trink and the Needle Encrusted Scorpion. Should I trade down and get the MoT to replace MoS and then gem for the rest of the Hit I need? I think with my Gear right now I'll have to have 40 in gem hit to meet the cap. Think I'm going to go ahead and get the Herkuml War Token trink pretty soon so which would I want to drop then the NES or the MoT as a Survival Hunt? Guess that wasn't really a quick question huh? Sorry, I know you're not some Hunter Personal Fitness Trainer but I can see you're pretty knowledgeable so thought I'd ask. Thanks for the help. Here’s a quick question.

Just read this and found the answer to a few questions I've had for awhile, like why is my DPS lower than it should be? This was very helpful, thank you. Wow.

I've been drooling over MoS because of the HT, and because of the gs increase. My question is, should I focus on my hit rating still? even though the cap is at 260... or should I opt for MoT and BoV and concentrate on my dps? A lot of people in my guild are telling me that I should focus on my ht which makes this article both helpful but also more confusing. The funny thing is is that this article called into question my two main concerns... I was just about to buy MoS. Thanks for the helpful article, this really made me take the blinders off and look at things differently.

I find that I'm indeed hit-starved, and am actually <b>under</b> hit cap without Mark of Supremacy equipped. Of course, before I changed my helm, I had something crazy like 12% hit, not including talents or buffs. Having also recently respec'd out of Focused Aim in exchange for the 3% damage buff on Serpent Sting (and loving the extra DPS), I'm terrified I'll get Whispering Fanged Skull or DV/DBW out of some PuG and be unable to use it. I obviously need to get Carapace of Forgotten Kings or some other hit-heavy chest to replace my current one, but.... Any suggestions?

But, that don't mean I don't change out the trinket as soon as I get into the group and get going on pulls. It is unfortunate that the wow community has come down to this instead of letting people's performance be judged. I really wish they would take out the trinket section all together in GS if they insist on the necessity of it because some of us just aren't that lucky with drops, I run to this day HFoS and ToC norm Every Day. Seen them drop rarely and have yet to win it when they do. And my ICC 10 has only had one trinket drop off the gunship air battle. I rolled a 2.

Upgrades are slathered in it. My point still stands though, higher ilvl doesn't always translate to more DPS. Stats do however. WSH is a bit irrelevant though, becasue it's a lvl 76 blue item designed to help pre-heroic hunters reach the hit cap. It's a great weapon for that level, but it's highly doubtful that anyone with enough emblems to purchase MoS would still be equipping that as a 2H. Believe me... I wouldn't criticize anyone in-game for going over hit cap, it's just not my style. Most players are pretty casual and see an upgrade as an upgrade. Like you said, it's almost hard <i>not to be over cap</i> these days. I just wanted to shed a little light on a subject that I felt needed a little light being shed upon it. ;) I won’t argue that.

With both our best non-raid weapon available, Whale-Stick Harpoon giving boatloads of hit rating, and Mark of Supremacy even more accessible than it was previously, it's no wonder we were swimming in hit rating.

Stack another more important stat such as crit. Crit is useful against all players, where as a hit chance above 6% is situational. Spell hit for traps? I'm assuming you mean spell pen..? Spell pen doesn't affect traps.
