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 it wouldn’t be worth the time.I have read a dozen different forum posts and each seems quite confused. I’ve been a solo player for a couple of years but, in the last few months, joined a progressive, comfortable guild and have been really gearing up.
As a consequence, I have taken to examining the finer details and squeezing out as much damage as possible. Though my gear is not as good as others in our guild, my DPS is frequently the best (in the Gruul encounter, for instance).
Something that I have never thought to ask, however, is how Attack Power and Ranged Attack Power compare. I am a beastmaster, with most of my points in that section (some in marksman and three in survival). If you had a weapon with X RAP or another with X AP, will the AP not also be RAP?
It seems to me that AP is either ranged or melee, whereas RAP is a bonus only to ranged – therefore the AP weapon (assuming all numbers and characteristics are the same) would be better.
1) Correct?
2) If that is correct, would I be better off with (for pants):
Falcon’s Call
or
Nethercobra Leg Armor?
I assume the latter.
It feels odd, having played for so long, to ask… but it must be asked… as there seems so much disagreement on the subject.
Thanks.
