Scattered Shots: 5-man Heroic loot for Hunters
WoW.com — ... of that, I have often included some choices for each slot that are technically slightly worse than others except for a good amount of hit rating. In the end, to get to that magic 9% hit rating cap for raid bosses (Although some claim the new cap is somewhere around 8.1%), you'll need about 296 hit rating. To do that, you may end up needing to take both some of the loot from here and from last week's normal dungeon guide, and top it off with some choice enchantments and gems, but it's certainly doable. But now, without further ado, let's see what heroics get you in ...

WotLK Gem Index
Elitist Jerks — ... This thread is intended to provide a quick reference of gem prioritizaton for hunters in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. It is still recommended that players consult the WotLK DPS Spreadsheet for a more detailed assesment of personal gearing. Subject to change. Feedback is of course appreciated.

Expertise is always better than Hit
TankingTips.com — ... Hit What to take away from this Expertise is always better than Hit Rating. So, whenever you have an option between the two you should always choose Expertise. In fact, Expertise is so much better than Hit that you should even consider taking Expertise over Hit when the amount of Expertise you’ll gain is a bit less. The best simple technique I can leave you with is when gemming your yellow sockets for Threat/DPS always choose Accurate Monarch Topaz over Rigid Autumn’s Glow.

Hunter pre-raiding level 80 gear - part 2
steady shot — ... for Bright Scarlet Rubies too.  The penchant for these by hunters has affected the market, and they tend to be the most expensive rare Northrend gem on my server at around 80-110G each. (Thanks to Elitist Jerks for this list.  I know blogging isn’t about copying and pasting, but the list was so good, and EJ is sometimes a bit inaccessible to people, so I though I would reproduce it instead of just providing the link.)

Infraction for dannyfanwin: Useless Post
Elitist Jerks — ... I was considering putting in some [Rigid Autumn's Glow] into my bracers and yellow gem slot in my T7.5 legs which would give me a total of 243 hit and 3424AP (loss of 42AP and 0.13% Crit). I've read that you shouldn't gem for hit, but I'm not sure if the current amount of hit I have is too low or not to go by those standards. ...

An Unexpected Upgrade, and the Complexity of Loot
Player Versus Developer — ... rating, and the cap is 368 (you only get a fractional benefit from the last point). So that +20 hit is actually a +0.5 hit, at which point I'm giving up a lot of haste and crit in exchange for a medium sized chunk of spell power. So, a downgrade and another pair of downgrades add up to remain a downgrade.... unless I can get rid of some of that excess hit rating. See, it turns out that I have my [Water-Drenched Robe] socketed with two of the 16 hit rating [Rigid Autumn's Glow]. What if I tweak that? 2x[Rigid Autumn's Glow]-> ...

Azeroth Now — ... Rigid Autumn’s Glow - This will improve your hit rating for those that do not meet their minimum hit rating for the bosses they need to kill. Most hit rating gems will be used by Rogues who are not Combat built which means they are lacking precision. You should keep an eye out on your hit rating, especially if you see that you are missing quite a bit. ...

The Mailbag: Gemming and Socket Bonuses
Eye for an Eye — ... from the socket bonus that is flat-out greater than something like 16 AP. It'll have to be one whopping socket bonus - 8 rating of any secondary stat or 6 of any primary stat is the highest socket bonus I've seen on gear to date. Of course, this could all change in 3.1. Depending on how things shake out with the mana situation and the redistribution of ret damage sources, I might be recommending Etched Monarch Topaz, Accurate Monarch Topaz, or, hell, maybe even Rigid Autumn's Glow in a few weeks. As for right now, though, strength is the way to go. ...

Hunter Hit Cap Perfection
HuntsmansLodge.com | A World of Warcraft Hunter Site — ...has been attained. After Grobbulus gave me his Sealing Ring, I was able to swap out an enchant and a gem, resulting in Hunter Hit Cap Perfection! Remember young Huntlets, 263 is the minimum you want to shoot for. Don't go 262, or your pet will only receive 7% hit. Unfortunately, Blizzard rounds down the Hunter hit % to the nearest whole number when calculating a pet's hit. Prior to this new piece of gear I was residing at 268 hit, which was good, but now I have no wasted ...

If you have both of these in your raid Composition, you only need 13% Hit Rating. So if you know you Raiding roster is set, ask your fellow Raider's about their talents, it can save you a lot of time, and headache trying to be hit capped. (It's also a good idea to have a hit heavy piece of gear that you can swap out for Pugs) Useful gems and enchants for hit rating are Rigid Autumn's Glow ...

Staggering Legplates – These pants drop (heh) from Ingvar the Plunderer in Heroic Utgarde Keep. With a ton of hit and two sockets to play with, these are truly an awesome pair of pants. If you are under the hit cap, socket this item with a Etched Monarch Topaz in the red socket, and a Rigid Autumn’s Glow in the yellow socket. If you’re over hit cap, put Bold ...

Since you also will have to have RNG luck for Zuramat to even appear in H:VH, these boots really aren’t worth grinding for. If you do have them though and are below hit cap, use a Rigid Autumn’s Glow. If you’re over hit cap, put ...
