Hunter talent discussion

[savaughn]

I think I went with Improved Hunter's mark because I needed something here to progress up the talent tree.  Efficiency seemed to somewhat useless compared to what buffs and +int gear might give, and I wasn't interested in making Arcane Shot cool down 1 second faster.  +15% to Hunters mark seemed a better choice (at rank 4, 110 + 16.5 to ranged attack power).  For Imp AOH, that was a very early choice I made to focus on my ranged attack power rather than the pet.  Improved AoH gives me +20% (at rank 6, 110 + 22 to ranged attack power).  Considering that my focus is on maximizing ranged attack power, where would you suggest a better use of those 5-10 points might be?

My rough calculations (which may be off) for Cel at lvl 55 now, projecting to 60;  She has a base ranged attack power of 610 (+43.6 dps), +30 for trueshot, +126.5 Hunter's Mark, and +132 for AoH).  Also consider for group play that the +30 is for all attack power, and +126.5 is for all ranged attackers.  So, for those points I raise my ranged attack power to ~900 (+64 dps) with no other buffs, pre-end game gear (+142 agility now) and only +7 of that agility in enchants.  Now, with the current incarnation putting 5 points in Ferocity might improve our team (me + pet) dps.

I will have to look at end game equipment and weapons to see what my potential ranged attack power might be.

So, you really only have one end game weapon right now. Rhok'delar, the hunter epic quest item. You have to be part of a successful Onyxia raid to cap it, though.
