But when they're spent you only gain 11.5 mp5 on average when turning on AotV. Compared to the lost 26 static mp5 you gain even with AotH up, I don't know. You may run oom on long boss fights and/or not profit from IAotH much. I guess you'll have to see, BRK. Curious about your findings, been wondering what a good MP5 value would be for hunters.

Big numbers are gratifying, but BM hunters should leave them MM who rely on them for damage.<br/><br/>BM hunters need a tight rotation. Your numbers won't be as big, but in the end you'll do more damage. The closer your weapon speed is to (1.5s + your lag) the more dps you <i>can</i> do. Rabid,

Or is it just a higher chance to crit that does not affect the damage.<br/><br/>Sorry to be bugging you all here, I guess it is time to surf wowwiki?<br/><br/>Rabid Ack I checked his armory he has alot of +crit rating from a few trinkets etc, I guess that helps the overall damage a crit does?

I love the gloves look!<br/><br/>On a unreleated note:<br/><br/>I have a hunter in my guild that routinely gets 1200 crits @ level 58. I think he is BM spec as I am, now what I am wondering is how he gets it that high, I haven't checked his armory as of this post but I will. Is a slower bow better for my crit? I never see anything above 750. <br/>Here is my armory link<br/><br/>http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Frostwolf&n=Rabidpoultry<br/><br/>Any advice? Critique? Flames?<br/><br/>Thanks all Nice lewts! I love the gloves look!

I'd suggest keeping some on hand for those pesky level 73 mobs. I think the new recipe Spicy Hot Talbuk is a good option for +Hit when you need it most.

That should easily make up for the loss in MP5, don't you think? We’ll do an indepth post of “Ignore Armor” as soon as we can.

I'd love to see some BRK analysis of what this ignore armor stat gives, and whether it is worth loosing AP or crit for, and if so how much. Comparing items just got a bit more hard, thanks a lot Blizz *sigh*. What rhust said.
