Marksmanship Hunter DPS Best Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — Midnight Season 1

This section specifically covers the optimal gems, enchants, food, and flasks to use for your character. To get a more detailed rundown of the different stats for Marksmanship Hunter, please visit our dedicated Stats page.

If you have 5+ sockets in your gear, you should use Powerful Eversong Diamond in one socket. Then, you should ensure you have one gem of each type in other sockets to max out the Crit effect, ideally Flawless Deadly Peridot/ Flawless Deadly Amethyst/ Flawless Deadly Lapis/ Flawless Masterful Garnet. Fill in remaining sockets with Flawless Masterful Garnet.

If you do not have 5+ sockets in your gear, you should use Indecipherable Eversong Diamond in one socket, and Flawless Masterful Garnet in the rest.

For Marksmanship Hunter, the best flask is generally going to be Flask of the Shattered Sun. That said, it is best to think of Flasks as just another piece of gear that is easily swappable, and depending on your exact gear situation, any of the 4 secondary stat flasks can be optimal. To really minmax on this point, you would need to simulate it.

For Marksmanship Hunter, there are two Potions you need to consider.

• Light's Potential is a safe option, offering a lot of Primary Stat for 30 sec, to be synced with your cooldowns.
• Draught of Rampant Abandon is a high-risk, high-reward option. It offers ~12% more stats than an ordinary Potion, but it will force you to move as it constantly spawns void zones beneath your feet. Standing in these will silence you, easily eliminating the DPS gain from the extra Agility, but if this is managed properly and doing so is not going to cause you to mess up your rotation due to focusing on your feet, it is technically the better Potion. This Potion is a 0.5% - 1% DPS increase when utilized perfectly.

Choose wisely, and be honest with yourself!

For Marksmanship Hunter, the best potion is Silvermoon Health Potion. It has a 5-minute cooldown and heals most of your health, use it as a last resort, preferring your personal defensives wherever possible.

For Marksmanship Hunter, the best Food you can eat is from a Harandar Celebration or Silvermoon Parade Feast. The best non-Feast food is Hearty Royal Roast. The "Hearty" part is important, as this food persists through death, and I highly recommend grabbing Cooking to easily make your own Hearty Food, as it cannot be straightforwardly purchased on the Auction House.

For Marksmanship Hunter, the best Augment Rune in Midnight is Void-Touched Augment Rune.
