WotLK [Guide] MM Hunter Gemming and Gearing guide

[vesperrovno]

Hello. I know its pretty outdated but i haven't found a direct answer to what is better STS+DBW or STS+WFS ? I'm arp capped with both variants.
I got all 3 trinkets HC version and i can't still figure if DBW better than WFS or not. With DBW i got an additional constant 160+ agi, but this random procs... if dwarf procs its a total disaster
Please help )

Hey, man... The Relative Stat Values that have been put forward so far in the thread are extremely consistent with those from other spreadsheets and were pretty commonly accepted, so there isn't really a case for disagreement unless you're pointing out that those figures wouldn't be applicable to Warmane for whatever reasons !

For future reference since talent link aren't working :
1) The 7/57/7 talent tree with Improved Barrage https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/talent...1rge41rhf51rga or https://wotlk.evowow.com/?talent#cxb...uAox00b:fibzM0
This is your primary "DPS" talent and good for overall use. Use glyphs (1), (2), and (3).
2) The 7/54/10 talent tree with Hawk Eye https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/talent...1rge41rhf51rga or https://wotlk.evowow.com/?talent#cLZ...uAoe00b:fibzM0
The extra 6 yards range gives you extra mobility and is useful for fights like BPC, PP (In my personal opinion), VDW, and LK fight to DPS LK during the transition phases. Use glyphs (1), (2), and (3).
3) The 7/57/7 talent tree with Improved Hunter's Mark https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/talent...1rge41rhf51rga or https://wotlk.evowow.com/?talent#cxb...uAox00b:fiazM0
Increases the AP bonus of Hunter's mark by 30%. ie. Hunter's mark will now increase ranged attack power against the marked target by 500*1.3 + 500 * 0.2 (with the glyph) = 750 instead of 500. Use this spec if you are a low geared hunter to boost the DPS of other hunters in the raid and increase overall raid DPS. Use glyphs (1), (2) and (4).
4) 7/54/10 talent tree with Trap Mastery https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/talent...1rge41rhf51rga or https://wotlk.evowow.com/?talent#cxb...uAox0cb:fiLzM0
Uses glyph (1), (2), and (5).
