Only because Huma specifically asked for a review of his gear shall BRK pass judgment. It isn’t our intention to be cruel, but there are some Issues that need to be addressed. Please, pay attention.

Huma’s talent spec is the prototypical BRK-Beastmaster spec, save one small deviation that BRK isn’t going to worry about. Very pretty.

Every hunter will immediately put the best scope they can afford on their ranged weapon. There is no argument, no discussion. Now now now. The +10 damage scope is modest in material requirements and BRK demands you all acquire one immediately.

Harupmh!

All sockets will be filled; even if you put crappy gems in there, they can be replaced later.

If you have a good, solid melee weapon, get the proper enchant on it. Either +25 or +35 agility, or Savagery and its +70 attack power.

Hand and wrist armor get the +26 Attack Power enchant. Yes, with every upgrade you get to go farm the mats or buy them on the auction house.

Legs get the +40 Attack Power & +10 Critical Strike leatherworking kit, especially if you’re a skinner and can farm the two Cobra scales yourself.

Cloaks get the +12 agility enchant. The mats aren’t that expensive, so there’s no reason not to.

Shoulders, if you are honored with Aldor, get the +26 attack power inscription. Scryers should get the +13 critical strike.

Summary: Just from the missing enchants and Cobra scale kit, Huma is loosing 174 ranged attack power.

Huma has 1219 without AotH. Slap the AotH 155 RAP, enchants, and Cobra kit in there, and Huma would have a very nice 1548 RAP. Sha Weet.

Now for defense. If you are a Marksman hunter, you are allowed a little leeway and may wear really-good leather armor. And when I say that, I mean purple or better; nobody else will understand a 70 hunter wearing leather so you’d better be able to back up your argument with simply amazing stats from your gear. If you can’t, people will assume you don’t know what you’re doing and maybe even boot you from an instance because they don’t trust you.

But if you are a Beastmaster, you get no such lenience. Your pet gets a bonus to its armor from your armor. When a 70 hunter nerfs himself 1200 armor by wearing leather, your pet takes a 500 armor hit as well.

Aside from that, Huma’s gear looks really nice; no strength or spirit, good agility, attack power, and stamina, but more intellect wouldn’t hurt. Good rings and trinkets. Sweet fast gun and BRK’s nifty polearm.

And Huma, BRK has seen a blood bleeping heck of a lot worse. You look good.
