Best hunter spec?

[Dimitri]

You can just top dps with surv smashing serpent sting.

All specs are good right now. BM has good consistent damage, marksmanship has potential burst, and surv has good DoT and damage pressure

 

[BradShields]

Taken everyones advice and have rotated around the specs to see what one suits me. Can't decide so I think I'll play them all, they do seem pretty close in damage.

Is there any BoE range weapon that is better than the BoA or just put the Flintlock right on it and never worry again?

 

[necroaqua]

Only the BoA can get the good scopes (without exploits) - so it wins out. Flintlocke or Incendiary ammo. Or both to do some weapon swapping (use filntlock until proc, swap to incendiary and hope for some crazy burst). Gnomish is good as well, but it has AP instead of agility and your pet gets stats from agility - so its only super good for MM.

Its an exploit, use at own risk.

Same way you get belt bombs and chanted leggings of the fang. HOWEVER SERPENTSTRIKE DOESNT WORK AND HASNT WORKED SINCE YALL WERE BORN SO DONT WASTE UR TIME

Bit confused here, what exactly am I attaching incendiary ammo to?

just an update, nerf bat hits bm tomorrow and pets do 30% less damage

 

[Megamidgit]

Quick question to those playing survival with weapon swapping, is the 2 handed weapon enchant also ele force? Or is there some other proc that wins out like Gale-Force until it procs then swap back?

Also elemental force.

• Damage done by the Hunter’s pet reduced by 18% when engaged in combat with enemy players.

That will be hotfixed today, maybe already is.

Have been doing some survival lately and it does some insane damage indeed, from tests a bit higher sustained dps than marks atm.

Guessing BM is probably off the table now

Give people a chance to play with it. My guess is that BM is still viable, though not as competitive as before.

 

[Zemmix]

Honestly, seems a bit odd they nerfed BM of the three specs.

I don't think it's quite that bad as to say it's nonviable but I'd personally rank the specs as follows:
Surv=Best at sustained DPS/Overall DMG
MM=Best at Burst DPS/Slave to CD's
BM=Still good, but not the same as previous two

Apparently it was overpowered at 120.

Not odd at all if you played 120. BM was straight up retarded. You could be playing on a tablet whilst hooked up to life support with your nose doing the only interaction required and still win. Macro all key spells into one button xdddd
