Consumables for Marksmanship Hunter
Best Flasks and Potions for Marksmanship
Spectral Flask of Power should be used for raids.
- Your potion should be
Potion of Spectral Agility.
Warlock Healthstones and 
Cosmic Healing Potion should be used when
at low health.
If you are a Kyrian, remember your 
Phial of Serenity ability which can
be used once per combat to heal you as well.
Best Food for Marksmanship
You should eat the 20/18 Agility feasts
Feast of Gluttonous Hedonism/
Surprisingly Palatable Feast
whenever possible. Otherwise, eat the 30 Mastery food,
Iridescent Ravioli with Apple Sauce.
If you can afford it, you should use 
Veiled Augment Runes (or the
permanent 
Eternal Augment Rune) to increase your primary stat. Since
there is a finite amount of the consumable runes available, you should make
sure to use them wisely and to stock up on them for when you need them.
