OVERVIEW
This set has frighteningly high stats on each piece, as well as the ability
to ignore up to 231 armor. Each piece has lots of everything, especially
Attack Power, and the set bonuses are excellent. However, all of this doesn’t
come without a price tag. Akin to Cryptstalker Armor, the raid encounters
involved are phenomenally difficult, and only the most elite of players will
ever get a chance to wear this set.

OVERVIEW
Like most PvP sets, the Hunter armor set is tailored towards players who like
PvP combat. This set has more Armor, Stamina, and Crit Rating than a typical
PvE Hunter set, as well as Resilience and high Agility. This set will give you
ultimate survivability, while packing some much-needed critical strikes. In the
way of stat distribution and armor, this set is more or less en par with Beast
Lord and Desolation, but it has significantly less Intellect.

OVERVIEW
This is one step up from the Grand Marshal’s Pursuit. Like its predecessor,
with its high Stamina, Agility, and Resilience, this set heavily focuses on
burst damage and survivability. In the way of stat distribution and armor, it
seems to be somewhat better than Demon Stalker, but not quite as good as Rift
Stalker, which is no surprise, considering that the original epic Grand Marshal
set was tailored the same way between Dragonstalker and Cryptstalker.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
c. Weapons
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ranged weapons are not too hard to pick out; if there’s a stronger gun or bow
or crossbow, go for it. Melee weapons, on the other hand, are a little trickier
to pick out. How should you decide on a weapon? This section will help you pick
out the right ones.
Before we start, the melee weapons you may wield include Swords, Axes, Daggers,
Fists, and Staves. Hunters can’t use Maces. It’s weird but that’s just the way
it is.
---------------------
Ranged Weapon Support
---------------------
Ideally, you will want a melee weapon that will support your ranged weapons.
As a Hunter, you won’t be swinging your melee weapons a lot so the base damage
of the weapon itself isn’t quite as important as the bonuses it offers. If you
want some Greens, look for weapons with the “Wolf” or “Monkey” suffix, or any-
thing that has Agility, Attack Power, or even bonuses to your Hit and Critical
Strike Ratings.
--------------------------
Two-Hand Versus Dual-Wield
--------------------------
At level 20, you get the ability to dual-wield, but many new players can’t
decide which of the two is better. In terms of melee, neither one is superior
over the other. Your off-hand weapon swings at half damage and half accuracy.
As a result, two 1H weapons will inflict roughly the same amount of damage
over time as a 2H of equal level.
Since you don’t have to swing your weapons often, your melee damage becomes a
second priority. What really matters for a hunter are the attribute bonuses on
the weapons, the most important ones being agility and attack power. Since the
bonuses are adjusted to whether the weapon is 1H or 2H, a pair of green swords
will usually yield roughly the same bonuses as a single green 2H.
In theory, it should all come down to personal preference, but melee weapon
itemization for hunters is limited. For most of your trip from levels 1
through 60, Attack Power is a scarce weapon attribute, compared to Agility.
It’s not until level 60 and beyond do you actually find a wider variety of
weapons.
----------------------
In Favor of 2H Weapons
----------------------
Supporters of 2H weapons will argue that a 2H weapon means harder-hitting
Raptor Strikes. Before The Burning Crusade, there were Epic weapons that were
known to cause Raptor Strike crits for well over 1,000 damage. Players argue
that the first blow makes all the difference, and as such, you would want that
first hit to make them feel like they just kissed the express train, a feat
that’s not as easy to do with a pair of 1H weapons.
----------------------
In Favor of Dual Wield
----------------------
Supporters of 1H weapons will argue that when you have to get up-close and
personal, you’d want to get in as many swings as possible. No matter how much
+Hit Rating you have, melee swings can be dodged and parried, and with a 2H
weapon, if the first swing doesn’t connect, you’ll have to wait a while before
you can get a second chance, and in tight situations, you don’t get a second
chance. 1H weapons also mean quicker Raptor Strikes, since there is a shorter
waiting time between main-hand swings. Finally, since there are plenty of
sources for +Hit Rating, it means more accuracy with the off-hand weapon, as it
makes dual-wielding that much more effective.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
d. Ammunition
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A very important part of a Hunter’s damage output is his ammunition, which has
its own DPS count. A few kinds can be purchased from General Goods Vendors and
as you grow in level, you become able to use stronger ammo. Here are the kinds
of ammo that you can buy. All ammo comes in stacks of 200.
------------------
General Goods Ammo
------------------
BULLET ARROW DPS LEVEL COST
Light Shot Rough Arrow 1.5 5 9c
Heavy Shot Sharp Arrow 3.5 10 50c
Solid Shot Razor Arrow 7.5 25 3s
Accurate Slugs Jagged Arrow 13.0 40 9s
Impact Shot Wicked Arrow 22.0 55 14s
Ironbite Shell Blackflight Arrow 32.0 65 30s
------------
Crafted Ammo
------------
Engineers have the advantage of crafting their own ammo, which are actually
stronger than the vendor-bought ones.
BULLET ARROW DPS LEVEL COST
Crafted Light Shot 2.0 5
Crafted Heavy Shot 4.5 15
Crafted Solid Shot 8.5 30
Hi-Impact Mithril Slugs 12.5 42
Mithril Gyro-Shot 15.0 44
Thorium Shells 17.5 52
Fel Iron Shells 26.0 57
Adamantite Shells 37.0 62
As you can see, it’s quite a payoff for gun users, but bow users don’t
get that same luxury. However, Thorium Shells can be traded in for
Thorium Headed Arrows, which are equal in DPS.
----------------------
Faction-Exclusive Ammo
----------------------
There are also several kinds of arrows and bullets that can be bought
from exclusive factions. Most require that your reputation with them be
at a certain level, usually Honored at the very least:
BULLETS FACTION REP DPS LEVEL COST
Ice Threaded Bullet Stormpike/Frostwolf Honored 16.5 54 54s
Felbane Slugs Honor Hold/Thrallmar Revered 37.0 68 50s
Halaani Grimshot [Halaa, Nagrand] n/a 38.5 66 60s
