Expertise Hunter

Dont have any suggestions other than asking if that bow is good?

I like it, any particular reason you went expertise? Also what does that expertise scale to in bgs?

Ignoring the enchants/armor kits, I'd like some opinions on this^ setup

There is need for deep analysis with many samples from BG's, but I think that set bonus from WC is not needed, because of it you lose pretty much crit and some agi, foreman gloves are BIS of course, cause they're only 1agi worse than naga gloves after scaling.

After scaling:
Foreman gloves = 4.87%
WC set = ~4%
If changing legs/belt/feet from BIS to WC - you lose 10crit and 4agi.
+4% overall damage seems really nice, but dodge of warriors/palas/mages/locks/priests is 3%, shammys/druids ~6.5%, and only hunters and rogues >10%.
Basically anything beyond 3% is not so great, beyound 6.5% is bad, cause first 6.5% covers all but two classes and all healers.
Overall I dont see point in stacking exp with WC set, foreman gloves is enough.
 
ooh nice didnt know that was you
 
4.47% is my total expertise in bgs
1.62% is the expertise from the WC set bonus (doesn't scale up in bgs, stays at 4 expertise)
2.84% is the expertise from Foreman's gloves in bgs

The idea behind this set was that I'd rather have my scatter shot or conc shot (on rogues especially) be dodged as little as possible than have ~2% crit and 8 more ranged ap.
 
Was expecting to see a dwarf.. Any reason why you made a nelf instead of dwarf if you want pure exp? If you exp cap for 20s you SHOULD be exp capped for everything in bgs (just like hit) meaning with just foreman's and 1% dwarf racial would be enough I believe..

Assuming you would be using mail chest boa, FotL, and bandit belt the difference is 116 armor/1 agi/2 stam/14 crit for 4 exp... Imo not worth it. Foreman's is enough to see a huge difference then no exp at all

I didn't create the character with the intention of using the WC set bonus, it's something that I decided to try while I was running WC for randoms. I picked nelf because I like the animations and shadowmeld is really really good

Before 5.3, some casters geared with only 11 rating instead of going over the cap, because they wanted the stats more than making sure that they didn't miss 0.04% of the time. I don't see it as making a huge difference, but instead making sure that one day I don't look back on why I died or lost a game or whatever and think "if I had had more expertise, that healer wouldn't have dodged my scatter or that rogue might not have dodged conc shot." I'm trying to minimize the influence rng has on whatever I do rather than have a few more stats-which could also make the difference between losing or dying sometimes, but I'd rather choose to not rely on luck as much as possible.
 
I like the idea. I was going to work up an expertise set to see how it stacked up for PvE content and was pretty much going to shoot for what you have here.
