Gems

This is the strongest Meta gem that you can acquire. However, if you would like an alternative, you can use Chaotic Skyflare Diamond.

At the beginning of the expansion, our spec favors attack power gems over agility gems, as they simply offer more power! You should aim to use Bright Scarlet Ruby and Bright Cardinal Ruby during the first two phases of the expansion and at the beginning of the third phase.

As a Marksmanship Hunter, you will mainly want to use agility gems in the later phases of the expansion! However, depending on your build, you can choose to use either gems that enhance your armor penetration such as Fractured Scarlet Ruby/Fractured Cardinal Ruby, or gems that provide you with both agility and resilience such as Lucent Monarch Topaz/Lucent Ametrine.

After all, it all comes down to the type of build you are trying to pursue.

You will want to use Mystic Autumn’s Glow in the early phases of the game to maximize your Resilience as much as possible, and then use Mystic King’s Amber in the later phases.

As a Marksmanship Hunter, you will need to reach at least the soft Spell Penetration cap, you can achieve this by using gems such as Stormy Sky Sapphire/Stormy Majestic Zircon!

Enchants

This is the best enchantment that you can acquire for this slot.

Alternatively, you can make use of Flexweave Underlay, if you have Engineering.

This is the best enchantment for this slot.

Alternatively, if you do not have enough gold to purchase the materials needed for it, you can opt for Enchant Chest – Super Stats.

There are no better options for your bracer’s enchantment.

Hand-Mounted Pyro Rocket is the best possible option for Marksmanship Hunter. It requires Engineering (400).

The only viable choice for your waist.

This is the best enchantment for your legs. However, if you prefer a more offensive playstyle, you will want to choose Icescale Leg Armor.

Nitro Boosts can be considered one of the strongest escape or chase tools in the game, with the requirement of Engineering (400). Alternatively, you can opt-in for Enchant Boots – Tuskarr’s Vitality.

If you chose Enchanting as one of your professions, you can benefit from its unique trait, allowing you to enchant your rings.

Hunters can not proc melee enchantments efficiently, thus, they require enchantments that offer raw bonuses, such as Enchant 2H Weapon – Massacre.

Hunters can also upgrade their ranged weapons with enchantments from Engineering such as Heartseeker Scope!

Consumables

The best flask you can acquire for a Marksmanship Hunter is the Flask of Endless Rage. You can’t use flasks in arenas, however, you can use them in Battlegrounds and Duels! You can also choose to use a Flask of the North if you have Alchemy (400).

Fish Feast will be the standard food for battlegrounds, offering the best possible stats. However, if you do not find yourself in a battleground, or the group itself does not have any Fish Feast available, you can use Hearty Rhino for increased armor penetration!

You have two main options when it comes to PvP as a Marksmanship Hunter. You can either choose to use Potion of Speed for increased damage from your auto-attacks, or you can choose to use Potion of Wild Magic to enhance your abilities!

However, you can use Flask of the North in arenas if you have Alchemy (400)!

Unfortunately, scrolls do not stack with class buffs, however, you can benefit from them in the absence of class buffs.
