I:In essence the marksmanship hunter is for the most a physical dps, the only ranged physical dps in the game of World of warcraft. It is very versatile in PvE, a support class and it can top a dps chart very easy,

II:Spec

Best spec This is the best spec, other variations of it are worst,

If you raid actively has 3-4 hunters in it one of you shot spec for ] Hunters mark spec It is recomended to use Glyph of Hunter's Mark but only for this spec.

III:Glyphs

Must have glyphs:
Glyph of Serpent Sting
Glyph of Steady Shot
If you use a Hunters marks spec:
Glyph of Hunter's Mark as the 3rd glyph

The 3rd glyph may also be:
Glyph of the hawk
Glyph of Chimera Shot , i only reccomend this on the evolution realm where there is no delay
Glyph of Kill Shot

IV:Rotation

Here you use a priority list cycle, the higher the spell is in the prio que you use it.

Quote:

1.Kill Shot(if the boss is under 20% hp) 2.Serpent Sting(if it is not applied to the boss) 3.Chimera Shot 4.Aimed Shot 5.Arcane Shot (if you have above 500 armor penetration rating-~35%-stop using arcane shot except for the cases where you have to move and chimera and aimed are on cooldown) 6.Steady Shot

Ussualy you will end up casting Chimera Aimed 4 X Steady

V:Cooldowns and opener on the boss
OPENER:
Rapid Fire and Readiness are best used at the beggining of each fight because ussualy they will come off cooldown before the end of the fight, the opener on a boss is like this:

Quote:

Serpent Sting Chimera Shot Aimed Shot RApid fire 4x Steady Chimera Shot Aimed Shot Readiness Chimera shot Aimed Shot Rapid fire 4x Steady

And from here on you will use Chimera Aimed 4x Steady

Pet abilities are best kept on auto-cast for starters untill u are more experienced with the hunter:

VI:Gems
IF you are under 600 armor penetration rating or ~42% socket this way:
Red Sockets: Delicate Cardinal Ruby
Yellow Sockets: Deadly Ametrine
Blue Socket: Nightmare Tear] -You only socket one of there because that is the limit to activate the meta socket where the best socket bonus is.
If you have over 600 armor penetration rating from gear alone:
Red Sockets: Fractured Cardinal Ruby (the one with 20 armor penetration rating)
Yellow: Deadly Ametrine -Keep only one, it is recomended to use it in the AShen ring if u also pvp.
Blue: Nightmare Tear] -You only socket one of there because that is the limit to activate the meta socket where the best socket bonus is.

At any item level if you do not have hit cap use Rigid King's Amber in yellow sockets.

META SOCKET: Relentless Earthsiege Diamond

VII:Stats
Ratings
32.79 Hit Rating = 1% Hit
45.91 Crit Rating = 1% Crit
32.79 Haste Rating = 1% Haste

Attack Power
14 AP (attack power) = 1 dps (auto shot)

Agility
1 Agility = 1 AP
83.33 Agility = 1% crit or 1 Agil = .55 Crit Rating
79.19 Agility = 1% Dodge
1 Agility = 2 Armor

Armor Penetration
14 Armor Pen Rating = 1% armor reduction (Cap la arp e 1400 cum nu poti avea peste 100%)

Hit cap is the point where you can no longer miss an atack used against a boss which is 8%, because you have the talent Focused Aim that gives you 3% hit rating you only have to get 5% from gear sockets and enchants if you are horde or 4% if you are alliance and are confident a draenei will awalys be in your group or you are a draenei.

Order of priority in stats:Hit rating(until you have hit cap )>(Armor pen if you have over 600 rating)>Agi>(armor pen if you have under 600 rating)>Crit>Atack power>Haste
