ok, i always been the 164 with the 3 talents.

are we sure there is no difference in wether you have max hit on your char or not?
even as surv next to uri, i was always below him in deeps. could that poss be it?


sooo, for a hunter, what are our top 2 worries, and what should they be at?

hit rating? 164 w/3talents, 263 w/o
haste?
ap?
agi?
crit?

come on fellas.. give me the hard basic facts.

From the thread Uri posted:

If reaching hitcap is a PVE hunter's first priority, then reaching the haste "softcap" should be their second!

So I guess stack haste till you get to the soft cap then start looking at AP and Crit (or agi?)

For beastmaster specific spec info (which I notice you are using now Boo) check out this link also:

Hope that helps.*

*Disclaimer: I know nothing about hunters, but I know where to look for good research info on classes as I've done a lot of research about my own classes etc.

Basically there are two stats that u stack as a hunter after u have reached the hit cap and the haste softcap.

---- survival -----
AGILITY!!!!!!!

---- Marks ----
ATTACK POWER!!!!!
