Well, just outdpsing everyone is not a goal you should set yourself as a Hunter. You are a class with so much potential for utility that aiming just for the Damage Meter is both for you and the raid. Well, unless of course your guild needs nothing but your DPS. The DPS build of choice these days seem to be Beastmastery. If you check the Pre-Raid gearlist you will find both Gear you should have, and a few cookie cutter builds. Getting a dps pet will take you around a day or so if you count the loyalty building. I leveled a Scorpid from 69 to 70, and got it to loyalty level 6 by simply bringing it to two instances I ran that day. Took me about half an hour picking up a Scorpid in Silithus, learning rank 4 poison (the reason for rank 4 is that is lasts 10 seconds, not 8). Oh, and not using your pet, no matter which spec you choose, is a bad thing. If you want to top dps charts, ignoring one of the most powerful DoTs in the game is just dumb. The gear you will want to focus on here, is Attack Power. The higher the better. There is no real magic number for when to start focusing on Crit, but you will need some serious AP before Crit becomes the most viable stat to increase. If you don't want to be Beastmastery, you might consider Survival. But that is highly gear dependant. Why? Because you wa...

Hijacking this thread to transform it into the grand hunter macro thread. 1) wing clip+raptor strike /cast raptor strike /cast wing clip you'll get a raptor strike on your next attack and instantly a wingclip. 2) Steady shot+kill command dont know this macro out of the top of my head =P i'll look it up. 3) easymisdirect /target /cast misdirection /assist (note: havent tested this yet, so if someone could that would be nice =P) 4) assist /assist as easy as it is, it comes in very handy qu...

Congrats on hitting 70, me and my boyfriend who plays a warlock are slowly getting there, were doing bg's to get or epic pvp gear and then we will get back to instancing our way up. It's a slow and boring ...

Your argument about RAP vs AP doesn't contribute to much, because as a hunter, you would be at range, so you would benefit from both evenly. Falcons Call was from pre-BC, one of the head/leg enchants from ZG, so it is quite a bit worse. with Nethercobra, you're getting +26 AP, + 12 crit, -10 hit, and -10 stam. The stam doesn't matter much, and once you're geared for pre-kara, you will have enough hit, so crit would be better, and Falcon's Call would be very hard to obtain right now, as almost nobody raids pre-BC, and...

I havn't seen a post on this so I thought I'd post it up. 2.4.2 patch notes are up at MMO-Champion (see-able here). These are as they are on the PTR and hopefully are not set in concrete (see below). Those Scare Beast changes are there (with much controversy) but it's not all sunshine for hunters. Here they all are that have been noted: 2.4.2 wrote:Hunter Aspect of the Viper: This ability now grants an additional amount of mana each 5 seconds equal to 35 of the hunter鈥檚 level. Boar Charge: This ability will no longer make Growl cast immediately after it generates excessive threat. The pet ability Growl will no longer scale with pet Attack Power. Dire Ravens in Blade鈥檚 Edge Mountains now tameable. Scare Beast: The range on this spell has been increased to 30 yards and it is now instant cast. Tamed Drywallow Snappers now will know Bite 5 (instead of Claw 5.) Wel...

Well, all the pets are viable now for one thing or another. There are still the pets that rise to the top. Cats are still higher DPS than wolves- but not by a game-breaking amount. Wolves just add their DPS in other ways. Gorillas are the king of Tenacity pets at the moment, but bears are still great pets. It's like the difference between a Prot Pally and Druid tank. Spiders are incredible PvP pets because of their 4 second pin. Other Cunning pets ar...
