Why it works
This is the standard raid-damage core: 31 Marksmanship for Aimed Shot, Mortal Shots, Barrage, Ranged Weapon Specialization and Trueshot Aura, backed by 20 Beast Mastery points for Improved Aspect of the Hawk plus stronger pet damage from Unleashed Fury and Ferocity. Efficiency and Improved Hunter’s Mark are taken because raid fights are long and Hunter’s Mark benefits your ranged damage plan.
The gear is built to land exactly 9% hit against raid bosses: Prestor’s, Cryptstalker chest/bracers/boots, Belt of Never-ending Agony, Outrider’s legs, Band of Unnatural Forces, Bronze Dragonflight ring and Kiss of the Spider. After that, it prioritizes the strongest ranged stats: Cryptstalker pieces for agility/crit/mp5, Taut Dragonhide Shoulderpads and Shroud of Dominion for heavy attack power, Slayer’s Crest for a major AP use effect, and Nerubian Slavemaker as the best listed ranged weapon. The Eye of Nerub is the best stat stick here, with 45 Agility and ranged weapon skill bonuses.
Play by keeping Aspect of the Hawk and Trueshot Aura up, marking the target, then using Rapid Fire and Slayer’s Crest together on bosses or dangerous trash. Do not clip Auto Shot: weave Aimed Shot and Multi-Shot between autos. Serpent Sting is fine in dungeons or long raid targets when a debuff slot is available; skip it if your raid is debuff-capped. Arcane Shot is mainly for movement when you cannot stand still for Aimed Shot. Use Feign Death manually whenever threat gets risky, then resume the shot cycle immediately.
