BiS Cataclysm lvl 10 Hunter

Does anyone have a BiS hunter gear list post ptr changes?

I know people have them now for int builds but I was wondering what gear is available.

And as for formal dangui, I can use level 60+ enchants on it right?

I am thinking of building one for fun with max haste, is there a race that works best? otherwise I will just roll draenei, heals are some good.

Someone posted that resilience is going to scale much better as well so I may try to gear for it as well.



Thanks for any help.
 
Haste will be ok in Cata, but +15agi to gloves and +25 to BAR will be far superior then the haste enchants that you'd use now.
 
If haste scales at 50% still, and regens 50% more wouldnt you do more damage that way? Especially combined with Explosive shot tics?



How exactly does haste effect dots on the ptr? If it scales well would a lock be good with 3 dots tic'ing off at double speed? I think with lifebloom, you could get 100% haste, how much would dots do then?



Im just theory crafting ATM, but I would agree with you that agi would seem better if haste doesnt regen enough focus. DoTs on a lock might be fun though.

People on Wowhead say you can only enchant +250 mana or +22defense onto Formal Dangui, but I don't own one to test myself. Interestingly, +22 defense becomes +22 dodge on PTR. How much does +22dodge convert to at level 10? Anyone?





Resilience has been majorly buffed for level 10s on PTR. This is my mostly naked warlock on PTR, he is stacking BoAs with Resil and a iLvL 50 white chestpiece with +15 resilience on it (36% player damage reduction seems to trump 4int 16stam 8%crit lol) .

With Staff of Jordan, Inherited Insignia, Sunderseer, and my white chest with +15resil, you can see this will probably end up nerfed at somepoint. With Napkin math of Current BiS gear you can get a lock to 1048 HP, 120~ spell power, 25% crit, 26% haste, and 11.09% hit (Defaulted by use of Staff of jordan which you use for resil) while maintaining this 62.7% damage reduction.



These stats are without professions but I'm assuming youd probably want 225 skinning (16% crit) and 225 Herb (100~ pre-Demon Armor heal, 143% haste for 20 second buff)



When I rearrange my gear to give close to top-end spell power (can get him to 111 with my current gear, not too far from a BiS mark of 120) UA ticks for 166, crits for 330 (827 over 15). Corruption ticks 36, crits 73, tooltip states 222 over 18 seconds.



Haste (aside from also affecting cast times) is currently affecting the rate at which my dots tick, but there aren't really any mobs that live long enough for me to tell just how effectively, but I'm pretty sure with haste affecting your Imp's fireballs in such a great manner that it will trump +20 shadow damage chant. I am dying to see how fast they tick fully haste buffed (169%)







I noticed the same on my full twinked hunter, +10 haste is vastly superior to +15 agil (Yes it affects how fast you regen focus/energy!), sure you get a minor crit/dodge boost and +30AP, but with stacking haste you get your auto shots down to ridiculous speeds and with 78% haste (counterweight and +10haste to gloves) you can fire off about 6-7 arcane shots before needing focus, at which point you shoot off 2 hasted steady shots for roughly the same damage as arcane shots.



Idk what you were talking about explosive though, currently my hunter hits much harder with arcane shot vs any other shot, critting 250~ and with a 60% crit and being able to spam them as fast as you can with 78%, you will wreck anything.





I'm curious to see how a few other classes will turn out at 10, but from what I've played around with it looks like hunter and lock will be the dominating dps of level 10 twinks.
 
Shame its still prt, things will change in live, and if this resi go live, it will be nerfed anyway :3
 
Yeah if resil works that way, you can get massive damage reduction, I thought it was capped at 17% at 80 though. I think that was it but I could be wrong.



I was thinking haste would have the dots from serpent sting and explosive shots ticcing much faster, thats why i wanted to try it. I was thinking if I can get explosive to tic 6 times in 3 seconds it might be worth it to spec for it.



I also wanted to twink at level 12 for wing clip, and access to the 2 points to make 30% of serpent sting proc on shot. With lifeblood you should be able to nuke things down faster then most 19's. It will definatly be fun, either way.
