Don't be lazy, the post reads like something out of a chat room. This isn't a chat room, it's a forum and we expect better than that.

Also, you could use the spreadsheet to answer these questions.

Also you other stats have a slight impact where this point falls but just getting one of the trinkets now doesnt mean you can gem ArP anymore, even when trying to soft cap for the 10 seconds the trinket is active. Granted that Arcane Shot is still dropped pretty early in the ArP curve. When the nerf to ArP came out, it kind of split the Marks Hunters into 3 categories instead of 2.

For Hunters less then 350-400 passive ArP, using Arcane Shot along with it talent.
For Hunters between 350ish and 850ish ArP, dropping Arcane Shot and using the ArP spec while continuing to gem for Agility.
For Hunters above 850ish ArP switching Agility gems to ArP Gems.

Of course you would still need to check out the spreadsheet values to see what gems would be most beneficial to you at your current gear standings. A full ArP gemming now pretty much requires you to be clearing TotGC and picking up the heroic forms of the gear.

So let me ask u something in the part u say " For Hunters between 350ish and 850ish ArP, dropping Arcane Shot and using the ArP spec while continuing to gem for Agility. " do we need to use the runestone or if we have an option to put like dark matter plus greatnes card would be better ?

My hunter got 745 arp passive gemming almost full Arp plus the trinket (runestone ) and i also changed greatnes card to dark matter but i don't know why i lost some dps :S

what's the nice option here for me re-gemming full agi agi/crit and get a passive arp of 550 or some and change the runestone whit greatnes plus dark matter ?

ty in advance
