85 BG marks hunter

Hey guys, I'm searching for info on 85 hunters. The state of battlegrounds atm is confusing. Could someone explain what should be gemmed as a 85 marksmanship hunter, crit or agility? I was thinking of getting the heroic ds 2 piece set bonus for extra focus generation. Then get skinning for the crit and JC for 2X crit gems but i cant find any thread explaining what happens to professions in a bg... Do they scale? And what is with gear scalling up in battlegrounds?? Any list of such gear?
Any help greatly appreciated :D

alch bs is proly still bis for bg's...
i dont alot about gearing hunters but for a few classes jc can give you a stat boost bigger than bs out of bg´s..
engi is engi and will allways be engi.... alot of ppl play alch engi

the passive profession bonuses does scale up.. aeolo made a sheet where you can see that stuff, i cant belive i was able to find the link o.0

and as allways huge ups to aelo for his work on this and many other stuff's =P
 
Thanks for the reply Hapsen :D
I've seen the chart but that is only for out-of-bg scaling isn't it?
I guess my main question is, what is better to gem as marksmanship for BGs, crit or agi, and do skinning, mining, herbalism perks scale up IN bgs?

imnot sure on professions most run alch/ engineering....

Zom's Misty Hood - Item - World of Warcraft for helm

Band of Pricking Needles - Item - World of Warcraft ring

Astrylian's Cheerful Charm - Item - World of Warcraft up to you what neck to use

Syrio's Gloves of Tutelage - Item - World of Warcraft better gloves imo

the stats of the leather outweight the armor

Repin's Ammo-Laden Belt - Item - World of Warcraft put a belt buckle on this

the ilvl 410 heroic rings that can be gemmed are also BiS irrc, not sure tho

but you dont really need all this gear even retards excel when it comes to rogues and hunters in this bracket and still win idk
 
Ty for the replies guys :D
I'm thinking of trying a max crit rating setup with blacksmithing and JC crit gems...
I am marksmanship though, so I hope the spec doesn't bring the same stigma as the retarded BM...

pretty sure it does. huntar is huntar
 
Go full agi over crit, you will be at 50%+ static crit in BiS, which is plenty. Anyways, there are only a few gemslots, unless you chose to go BS.
Also the leather mop head & gloves are debatable, because you lose 5% agi bonus for breaking mail specialisation, especially if you run with alch/engi.
Calculated across your base agi plus all your agi procs, that 5% loss is considerable and imo outweighs the static increase in agi.
Plus the hc tier 2 set double focus gain is a pretty nice bonus too.

Here is a BiS MM hunter using ds tier 2 set with alch/engi. Also, you can go with the scope over the chain for even more agi, it has a very high uptime. I was switching to chain for arenas, but if purely for bgs i'd run with scope.

Thanks for the reply & armory :D
yeah in bgs my crit drops from 50% to around 25 :(
I think the leather pieces really aren't worth it because the 5% is pretty huge, and secondary stats scale so badly that gemming them is not worth it either.
Your hunter is very sweet :D
What are your views on the Vial of Shadows trinket?
And what about the tailoring back enchant?
Edit: i see you also run Fervor ;D do you use it only for arenas? Would you switch to another talent for BGs?

Thanks for the link Baelo :D
I think you should use Band of Pricking Needles instead of Ornate Band though...
Any thoughts on the tailoring back enchant? 320 constant agility vs 4000 atp proc
