Bit of a balls up ?Follow

Ok, I'll bite.

To start, you want to go no further into BM than 41 points. By the time you hit 70 you will have 20 more points to allocate elsewhere, either into Marksman or Survival. I recommend first and foremost respeccing and dropping your BM to 41 and starting on one of the other specs.

Now for your gear. It's not "too bad" however some items stand out and need to be changed as soon as possible. Neck and shoulder items for one could be replaced by far better and more Hunter-oriented pieces. I noticed two of your pieces of STR on them which does virtually nothing for hunters. Also your weapon has +7 Weapon Damage which for a Hunter does not benefit you, as ideally you should never be within arms length swinging your weapon except to wing clip/lay a trap and get back to ranged. Also I noticed you have a mix of leather and mail and I would personally recommend switching entirely over to mail as the armor is far higher on it than leather.

Now, I am keeping in mind that you are only lv 54. That makes four more levels until you reach Outlands and as I recall from my own experience my gear was a bit lacking prior to 58 when I finally headed to Blasted Lands and went through the portal. So you don't necessarily need to feel any pressure to re-gear yourself immediately (if you do at all after reading what I've posted). You could easily wait until you get to Outlands, which in fact I would recommend.

Outlands gear is cheap and vastly better than pre-TBC gear from Azeroth. Quest rewards early on are incredible and will benefit you greatly. I re-geared myself almost entirely before lv 60 just by doing the first sets of quests I found in Hellfire Peninsula. The rest of my gear I bought off the AH for almost nothing at all.

Just in case you don't already know, a Hunter's key stats go in the following order of importance:

1. Agility
2. AP
3. Stamina
4. Critical strike rating
5. Intellect

Some hunters might have a few of those switched around, and that's ok as long as you remember to primarily first and foremost focus your gear on agility and Attack Power. Simple Outlands gear "...of the Bandit" will do wonders for you. The only problem with the purchasable of the Bandit gear I find is that you will end up with a lot more STA than you will AGI but that isn't always a bad thing. Every piece has AGI, STA and AP on it so how can you go wrong?

Anyway, that's my two cents, happy WoWing.

Why no more than 41 points in BM? I personally like the 43/13/5 build for PvP.

Is Improved Aspect of the Hawk really worth it? Doesn't it interfere with shot rotations and all? I used it a bit while leveling and for some reason it always seemed to proc on the killing blow.

Well how does it look now i also got some new gear and my main can make someting for the neck, thank you all for your replies and your help in this matter.

I would quibble with this slightly. Sure, if you can get mail with good stats then grab it. If, however, you can get leather with better stats then get it. In my opinion, stats are more important than armor. I'm not saying get cloth, but then again, there won't be much cloth that's good for a hunter anyway. The difference in armor value of leather vs. mail is often small enough that it doesn't really have a big impact on your total armor anyway. Once you hit Outland, mail gets easier to find, but still go for stats over armor class.

I would recommend exchanging both your trinkets since neither of them benefits your damage.

This one is from the Quest: Job Opening: Guard Captain of Revantusk Village.
Very easy quest after patch 2.3. There are no longer any elites in that area. :)

Also, you could start on this quest. Wich eventually will lead you to this nice trinket.
No elite mobs in this questline either. A level 60 and a level 59 in the last part. Should be smooth sailing even in your level. :)

oh dear, you're going to have to stick with one pet for outland. It's extremely important to have a high level pet for outlands. Making the jump from level 55-60 zones in Azeroth to Hellfire Pennisula is huge. When I was level 60, I had Endurance Training and Thick hide on my pet, and it still died a lot.

Catlike Reflexes is pretty win for helping to keep your pet alive. 9% less damage.

If you're pvping, then FI is pretty much useless. You really only need 4 points in frenzy. I use Monkey a lot in pvp, imp monkey might be worth it.

I never find time to use aimed shot, however arcane shot is awesome and reducing the CD is great for pvp.

I'd probably go with something like this for a pure pvp BM spec. focusing on arenas.
