Stat Priority for Marksmanship Hunters in PvP

The stat priority for Marksmanship Hunter in PvP is as follows:

  1. Agility;
  2. Versatility to 30%;
  3. Mastery;
  4. Versatility beyond 30%;
  5. Critical Strike;

Agility is the best stat in all situations. Versatility is the most important secondary stat as it increases the damage you deal and reduces the damage you take. Mastery is also crucial as it increases the range and damage of all of your damaging spells.
