Thread: General Hunter Info

After reading through a few places, I compiled anything we hunters might need to know. This post is a compilation from various forums but at the same time this post is not meant be detailed. As such will refer to more detailed post on the subject, so sorry if there are typos or incorrect information. If you have anything to provide please post!

General Information:

• Focus is used for nearly all of our offensive skills and almost all defensive skills are free.

• Focus regenerates naturally at a basic amount of 4 Focus per second (FPS); this value is increased by haste

• Hunter can also regenerate 9 Focus per hit by casting Steady Shot/Cobra Shot.

• Agility remains the same but now 1 agility gives you 2 AP.

• Mail Specialization - Increases your Agility by 5% while wearing Mail in all armor slots.

• The GCD is lowered from 1.5s to 1s

• You can reforge 40% of one non-primary stats to another.

• All pets are further normalized.

• Hunter pets can providing Full Raid buffs such as Kings, Fort, Blood Lust, etc..depending on Pet family.

• So you can pick whichever pet you want or whatever raid buff the raid needs.

Looks good over all, except for the attack speed buff in the buff list: All buffs that increase melee haste now increase melee and ranged attack speeds by 10%, not haste. Improved Icy Talons, Windfury totem, Hunting Party are the buffs in question; someone commented that a 20% haste buff was too good to be true, since haste will increase resource regeneration rates in Cataclysm, and Ghostcrawler agreed. And the Replenishment that Hunting Party currently gives on live has been given to Resto druids on the PTR and beta.

This is a great compilation This should be stickied imo.

Looking at my character in beta it looks like 246 Hit Rating = 8%

Thanks for pointing that out.

Thanks for this, will read it after lunch. I was worried about being kinda lost after the patch, mostly due to the fact I am not on beta and my PTR client got fucked and wanted me to DL the whole 16gb again so I ingored it either.

Should be stickied for the time being.

wow that was alot information about huntards xD

Excellent post, sticky imo.
