------------------------------------------------------------------------------- b. Set Armors -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are a variety of different set armors tailored specifically to Hunters, which is usually marked by the “Stalker” suffix attached to their names, though that’s not always the case. Listed below are the sets from The Burning Crusade. Unlike the pre-expansion sets, most of the sets at level 70 are at most five pieces. For more information on older sets, visit the game’s main site.
-------------------------------- Dungeon Set 3A: Beast Lord Armor --------------------------------

SET BONUSES 2: Reduces the cooldown on your traps by 4 sec. 4: Each time you use your Kill Command ability, your attacks ignore 600 of your victim's armor for 15 sec.
OVERVIEW This is your basic set armor for when you hit level 70. It has all of the right stuff that Hunters love, including Agility, Stamina, Intellect, and Attack Power.
-------------------------------- Dungeon Set 3B: Desolation Armor --------------------------------
Hauberk of Desolation Gauntlets of Desolation Chest Hands 652 Armor 407 Armor +28 Stamina +25 Stamina +25 Intellect +16 Intellect [ ] Yellow Socket [ ] Red Socket [ ] Yellow Socket [ ] Red Socket [ ] Red Socket SOCKET BONUS: +3 Resilience SOCKET BONUS: +4 Crit Rating EQUIP: +17 Crit Rating EQUIP: +16 Crit Rating EQUIP: +32 Attack Power EQUIP: +50 Attack Power

Pauldrons of Desolation Shoulders 489 Armor +25 Agility +16 Stamina +19 Intellect [ ] Red Socket [ ] Red Socket SOCKET BONUS: +3 Hit Rating EQUIP: +17 Hit Rating
SET BONUSES 2: Increases your hit rating by 35. 4: Your attacks have a chance to grant you 160 attack power for 15 sec.
OVERVIEW This is the alternative to Beast Lord Armor, which features mostly Attack Power and Crit Rating in place of Agility. It’s a good set, though if your talents are tailored to work off of your Agility, you may want to stay away from this. Also, be prepared to compete against Enhancement Shamans for this set. Strangely, some players have reported that the 4-piece set bonus doesn’t trigger off of ranged attacks.
--------------------------- Tier-4: Demon Stalker Armor ---------------------------
Demon Stalker Harness Demon Stalker Gauntlets Chest Hands 744 Armor 465 Armor +22 Agility +25 Agility +18 Stamina +19 Stamina +32 Intellect +21 Intellect [ ] Red Socket EQUIP: +52 Attack Power [ ] Blue Socket EQUIP: +5 Mana/5 Sec. [ ] Blue Socket SOCKET BONUS: +8 Attack Power EQUIP: +62 Attack Power EQUIP: +5 Mana/5 Sec.
Demon Stalker Greathelm Demon Stalker Greaves Head Legs 604 Armor 651 Armor +31 Agility +36 Agility +22 Stamina +24 Stamina +23 Intellect +26 Intellect [ ] Yellow Socket EQUIP: +12 Hit Rating [ ] Meta Socket EQUIP: +74 Attack Power SOCKET BONUS: +4 Agility EQUIP: +56 Attack Power
Demon Stalker Shoulderguards Shoulders 558 Armor +19 Stamina +20 Intellect [ ] Red Socket [ ] Yellow Socket SOCKET BONUS: +3 Intellect EQUIP: +16 Crit Rating EQUIP: +38 Attack Power EQUIP: +4 Mana/5 Sec.
SET BONUSES 2: Reduces the chance your Feign Death ability will be resisted by 5%. 4: Reduces the mana cost of your Multi-Shot ability by 10%.
OVERVIEW Go one step up from Beast Lord, and you get Demon Stalker. Like most epic armor sets, you get plenty of Agility, Stamina, Intellect, and Attack Power, all part of a balanced breakfast. Of course, it takes hard work to collect this set, as you’ll need to run through the endgame raid dungeons in order to get your Aldor/Scyer hand-in parts. The most common complaint of this set as of now is that the reduced mana cost on Multi-Shot isn’t very good, as it only saves about 20 mana, which I don’t think is terrible.
-------------------------- Tier-5: Rift Stalker Armor --------------------------
Rift Stalker Hauberk Rift Stalker Gauntlets Chest Hands 846 Armor 528 Armor +24 Agility +18 Stamina +21 Stamina +29 Intellect +23 Intellect EQUIP: +9 Hit Rating [ ] Red Socket EQUIP: +23 Crit Rating [ ] Red Socket EQUIP: +58 Attack Power [ ] Yellow Socket SOCKET BONUS: +2 Mana/5 Sec. EQUIP: +46 Attack Power EQUIP: +8 Mana/5 Sec.
Rift Stalker Helm Rift Stalker Leggings Head Legs 687 Armor +40 Agility +29 Agility +22 Stamina +24 Stamina +23 Intellect +20 Intellect EQUIP: +78 Attack Power [ ] Red Socket EQUIP: +6 Mana/5 Sec. [ ] Meta Socket SOCKET BONUS: +8 Attack Power EQUIP: +58 Attack Power EQUIP: +5 Mana/5 Sec.
Rift Stalker Mantle Shoulders 634 Armor +20 Agility +18 Stamina +21 Intellect [ ] Red Socket [ ] Red Socket SOCKET BONUS: +3 Hit Rating EQUIP: +9 Hit Rating EQUIP: +38 Attack Power
SET BONUSES 2: Your pet's attacks have a chance to heal your pet for 172 to 198. 4: Your Steady Shot ability has 5% increased critical strike chance.
OVERVIEW Take it another step up and you get Rift Stalker. The bonuses are more or less an upgrade, though the set bonuses are somewhat more offense-oriented than the Demon Stalker Armor’s bonuses. Although there isn’t much information on the location of this set’s turn-in pieces, don’t expect their respective instances to be a walk in the park.
--------------------------------- PvP Epic Set: Gladiator’s Pursuit ---------------------------------
Gladiator’s Chain Armor Gladiator’s Chain Gauntlets Chest Hands 812 Armor 486 Armor +21 Agility +24 Agility +48 Stamina +36 Stamina +15 Intellect +8 Intellect [ ] Red Socket EQUIP: +12 Crit Rating [ ] Red Socket EQUIP: +17 Resilience [ ] Yellow Socket EQUIP: +24 Attack Power SOCKET BONUS: +4 Crit Rating EQUIP: +4% Multi-Shot Damage EQUIP: +16 Crit Rating EQUIP: +16 Resilience EQUIP: +20 Attack Power
