Wow! What level is your hunter, and what is your specialization? I’m a lowly 65 with gimp gear from the AH and whatever I can upgrade to from our guild bank. I’ve only done quests, so don’t have any special gear to speak of.

I’m a total noob when it comes to knowing what I need to be focusing on. I’ve been amping up my agi through gear, rings and trinkets, and my AP isn’t too shabby (it probably is, but I don’t know it). I’ve also been trying to up my Crit score. Does high DPS like yours only come from really good gear, weapon, or both?

If there is anyone that could look at my Armory, and make suggestions, I’ll bake you some cookies, or shine your shoes or something.

Hey Gar,
I’ve been level 80 for some time now and it’s so true how they say that the game only begins there.
Thx for the gem heads up.
The gear i have still had resilience gems in it.
lol.

Gar,

I notice the lack of Attack Power in the 4.0.1 summary. Does this mean we no longer look at AP>AG for BM hunters?

Thanks,

Darrwyn

Crit is still a bit better than haste, so it’s still pretty similar.

The gemming priority right now is:

Hit
Agility
Crit

You should gem 20 hit or 10 hit / 10 agility in your blue slots, 20 agility in your reds, and 10 agility / 10 crit in your yellows.

The stat weight importance is as follows:

Hit (until you’re capped at 8%)
Agility
Mastery
Crit
Haste

Haste is a little better than before, but it’s still not worth gemming or enchanting for at this point. At least it doesn’t appear to be that way in this week one of patch 4.0.1.

So as of 4.0.1 has geming change for hunters. Seeing as how Haste helps for your Steady shot and Aimed shot.
