Best stat for Hunters.

Ey b0ss
Heard a lot of debate about this, and since I just found out MS only procs once instead of twice in pvp compared to pve, i'm curious as to what stat is best for Hunters.. is it still MS despite only proccing once? Or is Vers the superior stat? or something else entirely?

Go Versatility.

I have been testing out MS recently and until I saw this post I thought it would be the best. I had no idea it would only proc once instead of twice.

With this being the case, fully stacking MS will give you a 27% chance to hit for ~35%+20% from survivalist =~55% of damage. If you were to calculate the average damage increase from MS, you would get .27*.55 = .1485 or 14.85% of damage increase.

At first I was calculating it with two chances, making it a 29.7% increase in damage which would easily beat versatility. With it only having a 14.85% damage increase in PvP, comparing it to versatility, versatility would be better due to the damage reduction and the stability of damage.

Hope that helps.

I'm not quite sure where you got your weird numbers from. Multistrike gives you a 27.58% chance to proc an additional attack for 36% of the base value.

I didn't have WoW open to get the exact numbers. But as a hunter you get survivalist and that brings you an extra 20% damage for MS procs.
 
Vers > MS > Crit.

I played full multistrike for awhile (and I'm still lazily phasing it out). It can occasionally line up for some great burst, but the consistency and damage reduction definitely put Versatility higher imo. MS and crit are both devalued 50% in PvP, theoretically they're the same point for point. They scale with each other though, so MS enchants are better with the MS bonus for SV and the crit you get from gear. It's a fun stat at least!

Haste is prob decent too tbh, but it really just adds to sustained damage. SV has plenty of that already.

MS is also better than crit for the simple reason that RoS is in the game.

Been doing the same thing.. thought it was the best at first but now I'm just getting over it. Once I found out that it only procs once in PvP that was the nail in the coffin. Sucks.. MS is such a fun stat and Vers (even though it is good) is just.. boring.
