Improved Hunter’s Mark is an easily reachable talent in the marksmanship tree that everyone’s min/max calculations assume you have. The default “best buffs” button on the DPS calculator has it set to 3/3 talents and glyphed too. Who should take IHM? How should this be decided? Ideally, the person who is giving up the least [...]

How To Manage Hit Rating!

Posted in Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged gear, hit, hit cap, hit rating, ICC, melee weapons, pve, trinkets on January 26, 2010 | 18 Comments »

I’ve seen this a fair bit lately: hunters with double (and even triple!) the hit rating needed to never miss a raid boss. How did they get there? What can you do to avoid getting there, and how can they get out?

Today we’re going over hit rating. You are all aware that there’s something magically special about hit, I’m sure, due to the ambient information on the internet. What you may not know is exactly why people are always worried about getting hit capped! Well, I’m going to de-mystify this today.

We one shotted Malygos last night. 10 man only so far, but we have the 25 man key and will start trying to train more people on it. I got black ice, and am now happily trying to figure out a way to get under hit cap :) Some notes on the drake phase:

Gear for success, and, well, no promises. Just do it.

Gearing a survival hunter is much simpler than gearing for beast mastery was before patch 3.0.8.
