Welcome to Hardcore Gamer’s Hunter BIS Gear Guide for WoW Classic’s Season of Discovery. In this guide, we will go over the equipment choices for best-in-slot gear. In phase 3, theTemple of Atal’Hakkardungeon (also known asSunken TempleorST) has been turned into a 20-player Level Up Raid for players at the increased level cap of 50. The Hunter BIS choices obviously change significantly, but there are still a few items that are near-best-in-slot still obtainable from the Gnomeregan raid.
Gear Stat Priority for Hunters
The stat priority of Hunters remain the same as they were in original vanilla classic WoW.
Hit chance is very hard to find. If you are able to obtain any Hit % gear, ensure this is prioritized, then go for Agility as the main stat on the rest of your gear. Attack Power will increase the damage of both your melee and ranged attacks, whereas Ranged Attack power will only increase the damage to your ranged attacks. Intellect will increase you mana pool for your abilities, and Stamina will increase your health pool to help with survivability.
There are going to be a lot of World Drop Uncommon Items that have Random Affixes on them and their values change depending on the item level. These are Bind on Equip so you can often find them on the Auction House. Follow this priority for these affixes:
