WotLK Classic Marksmanship Hunter Enchants and Consumables
On this page, we list the best enchants, flasks, potions, and food you can get for your Marksmanship Hunter in WotLK Classic for PvE content.
Choosing a Stat
Wrath of the Lich King requires fewer consumables and enchants than Classic or The Burning Crusade, but each of them is extremely important to maximizing your damage output and survivability in any situation, but especially in Raids and dungeons. Below will be a list of the optimal consumables and enchants to help you get the most out of your Hunter.
The advice given on this page uses the stat priority of Hit -> Agility -> Armor Penetration -> Critical -> Attack Power -> Haste. You can find a full explanation for this priority over on our Stats page.

Best Gems for Marksmanship Hunters
Relentless Earthsiege Diamond is by far the best option for your
Meta Gem,
as it gives a considerable amount of crit, increases the damage dealt
by your critical strikes by 3%, and is easily activated by
Enchanted Tear.
Matching gem sockets is usually the correct strategy
as many socket bonuses are geared towards stats that you want, but this will all
depend on what the socket bonus actually is. In general, if the socket bonus is
a DPS stat, it is worth getting. However, keeping your Meta Gem activated
is by far the most important rule when deciding what gems to use. Below
is a list of the best gems to use in each color socket.
- In
Red Sockets, you will use
Delicate Scarlet Ruby.
- In
Yellow Sockets, depending on your need for hit you can gem for
Glinting Monarch Topaz or
Rigid Autumn's Glow. If the socket bonus does not matter and you do not need the yellow activation for your
Meta Gem, just use
Delicate Scarlet Ruby.
- One of your
Blue Sockets should be dedicated to
Enchanted Tear. If you need to fill in more
Blue Sockets for the socket bonus, go with
Shifting Twilight Opal. Similarly, just default to
Delicate Scarlet Ruby if you do not care about the socket bonus.
Best Consumables for Marksmanship Hunters
Food
Blackened Dragonfin is the best choice if you need to use personal
food, because of the Agility it provides. However, in raids you will usually have access to
a
Fish Feast.
Flasks and Potions
Flask of Endless Rage is the best choice by far. It is weighted to be
significantly better than other elixir options.
Potion of Speed greatly increases your haste for a short period. Use
this both pre-pull and again when it is off cooldown for a considerable DPS increase.
