Hunter Raid Best in Slot (BiS) List for Molten Core / Onyxia's Lair
This is the gear we recommend you to chase while doing the first raids in the game: Molten Core and Onyxia's Lair.
Hunter's Tier 1, Giantstalker Armor
is an incredible set that will be your BiS setup for a long time if you are lucky
enough to obtain all 8 pieces. While the 3 and 5 piece bonus do not provide any
DPS benefit, the 8 piece bonus gives you 15% more damage on Multi-Shot
and
Volley, making it a very strong set in addition to providing an
excellent assortment of stats compared to other pieces available. The set is so
strong in fact, that once you have
your full 8 pieces, you will not stop wearing it until you have the full 8 pieces
of Tier 2 to replace it.
The list below contains gear from: raids, epic PvP sets (above rank 11) and world bosses, as well as some gear from dungeons and quests, when warranted.
