AP vs Agi

1 Agi = 1 RAP and 1 MAP, does that mean it gives you 2 AP?

I just want to know should I equate 14 Agi to 28 AP?

Uh...MAP doesn't matter for hunters, except for jousts. Thus 1 agi = 1 AP, as far as AP goes.

There are other things about agility that you need to factor in:
1) Agility also gives 0.025% crit, or 40 agility per 1% crit. Which means 40 agility = 40 AP + 22 crit rating, which is 42 itemization points (combat rating is value 1, agility value 1, AP value 0.5). AP + crit is better on gear, agility is better on enchants or gems, since you get more total stats by having multiple stats on gear.
2) SV hunters benefit more from agility. First, you get 15% bonus. Thus, 40 agility = 46 AP and 1.15% crit chance, the item worth of 46 AP and 25-26ish crit rating. Then factor in expose weakness as a 25% increase in AP from agi (once your crit chance is high enough it should be on most of the time) and you get 40 agility as 57-58 AP and 25-26 crit rating. That's a lot more. However, for a non-SV hunter, it's simpler.

Aethien's guide at the top has more info on when to get agility, when to get crit, and when to get AP. I also have a system, where I value agility as 5 points, and AP as 3 points. Thus 14 agi = 23-24 AP (on my system).

Nope, basically for hunters 1 AGI = 1 AP.

(And I concur with Skribs that the 1 AP giving you 1 MAP too is mostly useless as, other than the raptor strike wingclip, you will not be swinging that 2 handed melee weapon anyway).

Good explanation Skribs of the other benefits of agi for hunters (rate up), though I would like to add that those are the numbers for a lev 70 hunter. At lev 60 the numbers required to reach crit are much lower (33.3 agi per 1% crit) and Doodly's armory shows him at lev 65).

lol....what a confusion..
fact 1 agi=1 RAP and 1 MAP
BUT ALSO 1 AP=1 RAP and 1 MAP..So all hunters have more melee ap than ranged..unbuffed
But look in the pre-raid post to find out what stas you should aim for..

thanks. i did read the post but that's what confused me at first. i remember thinking pre-bc to relate 1 agi to 2ap, but then started getting lost when thinking about MAP and RAP. but now that im clear on that thank you.

and yes doodly is only 65 =P. ive been in the army before BC launched and only picked it up again about a week ago. lovin the new stuff (NO DEAD ZONE!!!!)
