I can Tl;dr the gear changes you need to make, and give the differences of opinions on pieces that have some controversy.

You're basically BiS except for a few pieces.

I personally don't think hit chest should be used. I'm a huge fan of using Charmed Ancient Bone Bow for the 8/8/8 (agi/crit/hit) and then finishing the hit cap with Dread Pirate Ring or Ring of Precision. Naga Heartpiercer on a Horde Hunter forces compromises to be made in other aspects of gearing.

I think the chest/shoulder looms for hunters are ridiculously overpowered, and should always be used over the hit pieces.

Hogger's Trousers are good, but Smelting Pants offer so much more.

Naga Heartpiercer only boasts 8 more agility at the cost of 8 critical strike. The hit rating on the bow causes you to be able to maximize critical strike gear options while only losing out on a minimal amount of agility.

Build comparison (in battlegrounds):

Bone Bow/Smelting: 1883 health - 320 attack power - 19.99% critical strike - 4.47% hit

Heartpiercer/Hoggers: 1843 health - 338 attack power - 17.95% critical strike - 5.68% hit


The choice is yours :)

Also note: Foreman's Gloves are BiS for all hunters. The expertise is necessary.

And you need Feet of the Lynx. They scale up to 10 agility in battlegrounds now.

I think the gloves and boots are the only pieces of gear I DON'T have. Thanks for the advice. Is chest farming still the best way to get them?
 
yes, unless you feel like BFD grinding.

Come on now lol i can appreciate the class played well; the cc aspects and proper pet management. But when your pet hits harder then my Frostbolt something's not working here... And it doesn't encourage real competition when it's that unbalanced. Maybe if there were more naked hunts...

Foreman's drop from the NPC inside the deadmines' pre-instance. It's a pretty long farm, I suppose. Expect to kill the mob 50-60 times before getting the drop you want.

Feet of the Lynx are a chest drop, yes. Fairly easy to come across if you run enough chests.

Sorry bruh, but I was indeed the first, beating out every other F2P by a wide margin the day the event launched for the first time for F2P twinks.

Unless you've got a timestamp to prove otherwise, I was world first and many old F2Ps can verify. No one's stepped in to contest it. You're free to do so if you can ;)

And considering I started the 50 movement, I know almost every 50 that was made, and none come even close to my level of GF'ing.

Good deal, thanks!

o that's right, the fact that there's a thread from the time making the claim makes the claim valid. and considering there's no armory search filters to see every level 50 or every trial account to check their gear or achievement dates, the bop's on u. this is simple logic tho. i'm done. truly silly. and crystalpal, mirenelle has the hallowed. i hate people who are so sure of their own knowledge that they can't even realize how lacking their knowledge is. god. wat am i doing here

I'm sure for records such as most tattooed person, they didnt look at every single person in the world. A record holder is the one who claims the record and beats all other people who claim to be the best .

Isn't expertise going in WOD. Are they still BiS then?

Foreman Thistlenettle spawns on a 5-6 min timer so use a stopwatch or something and watch some TV or you might go insane.

In WoD they are agility/haste - which, unless serious changes are made between now and then, will be overshadowed by agility/stamina in my opinion.
 
iaccidentallytwink said:
Better get started on that then...

I've got my old hunter but I believe I missed out on the BiS bow which was upgraded after I did the quest. Is there anything I might have that's worth upgrading that toon instead of starting over?

You need rop and dpr for hit cap, screw ancient bone bow it's the worst choice. The only things which can be talked about are lynx vs cobran and hearthpiercer vs dwarven hand cannon damage/crit wise. Ofc as pointed out foremans gloves.

Wb iat.

Thanks Leo! Nice to see you're back as well.

The Ring of Precision has always eluded me... this should be interesting to farm again.

RoP/DPR gives 2.44% hit in BG's. I mean this in the most curiosity based way possible and am not intending to be confrontational in the slightest, but how are you handling the rest of the cap?

I never said anything about him changing his chest now did I. In Iat's case I would change Blackwolf for Scrupleless and get Champion's Deathdealer Breastplate.

Aaaand why do you think hit gets removed completely.. thats right because blizz messed it up and was not able to fix it for bg scaling and thats why you have 2,44% with 6 hit rating which should have capped you in bg if it wasn't messed up. Blizz just can't fix it. :)

as much as I disliked getting cheesed out of 'world first f2p with hallowed' at the time. You cannot really contest his claim with no proof.

The year was 2011. My first twink (and wow character), Skulky the Rogue, missed getting the hallowed by only the dungeon achievement. I didn't really know how to get people's attention back then, so it was pretty sad how I just sat there with time ticking away with all the hard stuff done already. I still don't have the title to this day, it just hurts too much to revisit.
