Table of Contents
Marksmanship Hunter Stat Priority
Versatility > Mastery > Critical Strike (20%) > Haste
Versatility will be our most important stat. You want to focus on getting as much of it as you can, up to at least 30%. This will happen automatically through PvP gearing, as most of the items you will end up using will have Versatility on them.
After that, you’ll be focusing on Mastery. Mastery continues to be an extremely strong staple for MM, giving you a flat damage increase plus some extra range on your abilities.
Followed by Mastery, you’ll want to focus on adding some Critical Strike into the mix, as you’ll be looking to reach around 20% of this stat while gearing. With talents like Penetrating Shots for additional crit damage and Master Marksman, which causes your crits to apply a bleed, Critical Strike remains a vital component for our damage.
Lastly, Haste will be your last priority. Although this stat is vital to land your abilities, we have enough cast reductions from our talents to make this stat not worth grabbing.

Trinkets
- Trinket 1: Forged Gladiator’s Insignia of Alacrity
- Trinket 2: Forged Gladiator’s Medallion
When it comes to trinkets, we will be equipping Forged Gladiator’s Insignia of Alacrity. It has an extremely high proc chance, and since our sustain damage is even higher than before, it’s our best option.
You will then need a Forged Gladiator’s Medallion to break out of CC every 2 minutes.
An alternative trinket from Forged Gladiator’s Insignia of Alacrity is Forged Gladiator’s Emblem, as this will assist us with surviving massive burst windows.
If you choose to play Human as a Marksmanship Hunter, you have the option to drop the Forged Gladiator’s Medallion for Forged Gladiator’s Badge of Ferocity. This is due to Human having access to Will to Survive for breaking out of crowd control. However, the Medallion can still be a solid pick for Human into teams where you want more frequent access to a CC removal, as you will be able to rotate through the Forged Gladiator’s Medallion and Will to Survive every 90 seconds.

Best Marksmanship Hunter Gems
Enduring Bloodstone + Masterful Sapphire
In The War Within, you will use a Vicious Jeweler’s Setting to add sockets to your Helmet, Neck, Bracers, Belt and Rings. Two sockets can be added to the Neck and Rings.
As Versatility and Mastery are your best secondary stats, you will want to both gem and enchant it wherever possible. Enduring Bloodstone will be our newly introduced PvP gem that can only be attributed once onto your character’s gem slots. This will give you some additional damage reduction when affected by Crowd Control.
For all gem slots, we will use Masterful Sapphire, as this provides the best overall boost to your favored stats.
