Last night a few guildies run Mag-T last night. We had a tank, just needed CC, so I brought my Hunter. This is what Kael dropped [wowitem=34799]Hauberk of the War Bringer[/wowitem].
Well on my 'alt' Hunter I already had the Nightbane chest: [wowitem=28599]Scaled Breastplate of Carnage[/wowitem]
I gemed the Huberk with:
[wowitem=24031]Bright Living Ruby[/wowitem]+16 attack
[wowitem=24051]Rigid Dawnstone[/wowitem]+8 hit
[wowitem=31868]Wicked Noble Topaz[/wowitem] +4 Crit +8 Attack (Thought I'd split the goodness).
The Hauberk has haste. My titan panel says 'melee haste' but I checked my ranged information with the chest on and off, the haste did apply to the ranged numbers.
I'd like to think the 10 man KZ chest would be better than a 5 man (normal instance) chest. Even if the fight is 1)fun and 2)a PITA.
Any suggestions on what one is better? Thanks for the help.
*edit* stupid linky no worky

I would think the amount of Agi on teh Hauberk would make it the better choice. By equiping it are you going to be going OOM a lot, or will you be fine with the less Int?

I don't raid a whole bunch with my Hunter, only went we need ranged dps and are good on tanks (which has be a lot as of late). I found that using that Wisewizards oil (or w/e the MP5 oil is) helps out a lot. Last 1 hour I belive. I've been in ZA where we took down Bear/Eagle before the timer expired, up to dragonkin boss. I've also ran a few KZ runs with the guild while we're breaking in newer tanks.
I'm thinking that the +haste would make my white damage numbers counter the little time in viper. Also, I have mana pots, every 2 mins I can pop them if need be, on boss fights, that's prolly only 2-3 needed.
I think it boils down to the +haste making me think the Hauberk will be a better choice. More shots=more dps. Don't get me wrong, I'll seek INT gear when it comes along.
The Heroic Kael mail chest is where it's at tho... I'm going to try to get some guildies to run it with me =)

I couldn't care less about the int or mp/5... just see them as bonuses to my mail gear over leather drops (i also start to chug fel mana pots when i'm down 2500 mana).
The main issue here is: Since you are MM (according to your sig), you want to squeeze in a steady & arcane before your next multi shot and you will start seeing more and more haste gear as you get further into end game. Is your bow/gun slow enough to handle that? If you are going to start clipping, then no.
Otherwise, I think that new chest is amazing...
+20 Haste
+52 AP (including gems & agi)
+4 crit (including gems & agi)
+8 hit (including gems)
-8 stm
-20 int
-8 mp5
I would take those trade-offs any time (...that i'm not in pvp and as long as i have a stack of fel mana pots for bosses...)
Right now I'm aiming for the new LWing chest.

I was never big on INT over other stats.
The Hauberk is also much more versatile. If you decide to give SV a shot, you'll have the AGI for it, and if you need a gem bonus for a meta in your helm, you'll be able to do it with just the chest (a purple, orange and green gem fullfills the requirements for the +12agi/3% crit damage gem).
Edit: With the changes to the mana regen mechanics, I think many hunters will begin to find the value in Intellect. To get back to the out of combat regen you had before 2.4, you'll need about 300 intellect. It's not AS important for raiding, but for solo grinding, having low intellect hurts.

Might be right, I actually hardly play this toon much and haven't done much farming beyond the odd mining. I should get on and check it out. Normally, I never had a problem OOMing solo farming, keeping AotV seemed to make my mana pool endless. But then, I didn't see a need to go all out on mobs either.

I'm using Gladiator's Heavy Crossbow at the moment. 3.10 delay. My 'speed' is 2.66 currently, still enough time to get a steady shot off between attacks. I will have to keep a eye on that tho.
You better be able to get more than just a steady in that time! with that speed, you are MM/SV and NEED to use the 1:1.5 rotation.
