Marksmanship Hunter DPS Gear and Best in Slot — Season 4

Welcome to our Gear and BiS Page for Marksmanship Hunter for Season 4. Check this page to learn everything you need to know about gearing a Marksmanship Hunter, including the BiS Gear from all sources, Raiding, and Mythic+, information on the best Trinkets, Tier Sets, and much more.

For discussion and information on Stats specifically, check out our Stats page below.

Season 4 offers a way to target specific, powerful items with the new Antique Bronze Bullion. Here are the best items to spend your Bullions on in Dragonflight Season 4 as a Marksmanship Hunter

1. Neltharax, Enemy of the Sky — This weapon has a +7 iLvl advantage over all other weapons. Its passive effect does not hurt either.
2. Neltharion's Call to Dominance — Our undisputed BiS Trinket for all scenarios.
3. Our next BiS Trinket, Algeth'ar Puzzle Box does not actually come from Raid, and cannot be purchased for Bullions. At this point, you can either move on down the list, or consider purchasing Manic Grieftorch which can be BiS if you have deaths in your raid, and is only slightly behind Puzzle Box for single-target otherwise (but further behind for AoE).
4. Seal of Diurna's Chosen — This Ring is not that special, but it is stronger than all other Rings, and very hotly contested. You might not want to spend a Bullion on this until you have a socket to put in it.
5. Voice of the Silent Star — Around ~0.7% better than all other Cloaks, but it has no Stamina. If you are doing high Mythic+ where survivability is paramount, you may want to skip this item entirely.
6. At this point, consider Seal of Filial Duty for the extra +7 iLvl (if you have a socket prepared) and the Absorb shield.
7. Ashes of the Embersoul is the best burst trinket in the game, and can be good for niche scenarios where short-term burst is the primary concern, even above overall DPS.

Throughout this page, we will regularly refer to the importance of simming yourself on Raidbots, as it is an indispensable aspect of optimizing your character.

While we do offer generic sim charts for Trinkets, this should not be a replacement for simming yourself, at least not if you want to minmax sub-1%!

If you are new to simming and Raidbots, check out our detailed guide below.

The Tier Set is comprised of 5 items, all carrying the Stormwing Harrier's moniker. Unique DPS bonuses are unlocked when wearing 2, and 4 pieces from the set:

• 2 pieces: Hunter Marksmanship 10.2 Class Set 2pc causes your Rapid Fire to deal 20% more damage. Additionally, while Trick Shots is up, Rapid Fire will launch a Volley on your target for 6 sec.
• 4 pieces: Hunter Marksmanship 10.2 Class Set 4pc causes every 10 Focus you spend to have a 3% chance to reset the cooldown of Rapid Fire, and to cause it to fire 100% additional shots during its channel.

The Tier Set Bonus is absolutely mandatory for competitive play, and you should prioritize obtaining it. You can use the Revival Catalyst to convert regular items (from Mythic+, for example) into Tier Items.

You only need 4 pieces out of 5 to get both set bonuses. We recommend you get all items except for the Chest, although even this does not particularly matter. Check out the BiS List for more information.

There are a number of strong options available for Marksmanship Hunter in Season 4 coming from a variety of different sources. Some relevant ones to look for in order of strength are:

Trinket	Note
Neltharion's Call to Dominance	Our bread-and-butter Trinket. The idea is to pair it up with a strong on-use Trinket (see below), and use both with Trueshot to essentially get the benefits of two "on-use" Trinkets at once!
Algeth'ar Puzzle Box	The best pairing with Neltharion's Call, enabling some of the best burst in the game!
Irideus Fragment	A good alternative to Puzzle Box.

These are generic simulations from Bloodmallet, giving you a rough overview of strong Marksmanship Hunter Trinkets. It is not a replacement for simming yourself, but can still offer a quick reference point.
