General Information

On this page, we go over several of the most frequently asked questions regarding Marksmanship Hunter in World of Warcraft — The War Within Pre-Patch. This will be updated as more common repeated questions surface over the course of the expansion.

1.

Is There A Haste Cap for Marksmanship Hunters?

No, there are no Haste breakpoints to note for Marksmanship. At 30% Haste from rating, all future Haste will start giving progressively less Haste% per Haste point. Some think of this as a "cap", but Haste can be your best stat even beyond this point.

2.

Which Race is Best for Marksmanship Hunter?

The truthful answer is that if you have to ask, it does not matter. The difference between the best and the worst races is 1-2% at most. If you want to maximize this side of your character, we recommend simming it on Raidbots. Dwarf and Tauren tend to be the strongest.

You can see a ranked list of all the Racials on our Simulations page.

3.

What is the Best Pet for Marksmanship Hunter?

Generally speaking, you should not use a pet at all as a Marksmanship Hunter due to your Lone Wolf talent.

If you do have to use a Pet, you should know that all pets do the same damage, but they still differ crucially in utility. Check out our dedicated Pets page below for detailed information on the best Pets!
