Hunter question about Agi versus Int on weapon

Taznavarah · 12/29/06, 7:36 AM

especially since the new patch im running oom pritty quick, so i was wondering if the 2 +22 int chants on weapons would be a nice way to replace the 15 agi.

im looking at this from PvE perspective

44 int (not having combat experience) give (44*0.45= 19.8 rap)
30 agi gives around .9 crit and 30 rap (just looking at dmg.. so dodge etc not taking in consideration)

so is 10 rap and 1% crit more usefull then the aditional 660 mana.. ( say 2 arc shots and a multi with the mana regen)

learn me 2 play

Capitalization is your friend and here more than most places.

That said, Hunters are like any mana-using class really and that means that +int is rarely as valuable as +spelldamage (or +RAP/crit through agility for a hunter at the moment) or +manaregen (through spirit for now). Of course which alternative is strictly better depends on your class, casting cycle and your talents but generically I think it is safe to say that the int enchant is a poor choice for pretty much any caster in a raiding situation and likely even more so for a hunter. I'll admit I'm too lazy to run the actual numbers myself but surely hunters have a spreadsheet by now?

i think agi will always be more valuable to us hunters than intellect. the only way i avoid running OOM very quickly is to maintain a steady stream of mana pots :(

Capitalize. Post this in an existing hunter mechanics thread.

Don't ever do this.

Try again in a week.

Same goes for you. Seven posts in your illustrious posting history and every single one of them has no caps.
