Sonic/blackened spear & Wrathfire/valano'sFollow

Hey,

I've run SL really much for the Sonic Spear but it never dropped. So when I hitted revered with Thrallmar I bought the blackened spear.

Now I was doing SL heroic for the daily, and yea, sonic spear dropped. I never actually thought about the blackened being better then Sonic, and I pressed need a bit to greedy =/. I really cant decide which is better.

I got, unbuffed, 373agility, 449 stamina and 1200attack power. (yea, Im not a full epic imba hunter I know ^^).

Also, the grandmaster dropped the Wrathfire gun. Neither I can decide with those. I lose 2DPS, get 8AP. But it also uses much more bullets. At the other side, because of the speed, its better for interrupting (I pve and pvp).

2.00 speed = fail. It's a rogue/warrior statstick.

Sonic Spear hands down. You're giving up a big chunk of AP, true, but you're getting some if it back with the agility and stamina is always a nice boost. The hit rating increase is also key. Being hit capped without going SV is a bit of a challenge, so you'll need all the hit you can get.

As for the weapon, that's a closer call and it comes down to the weapon speed. And that comes down to your spec. BM hunters like a faster weapon, so Wrathfire might be the way to go. MM and SV hunters like em a bit slower so Valano's is the one.

I already DE'd the gun. I lose 18DPS with it, and thats much. Also my bullets will go through too fast.

I guess I'd do for the Sonic Spear :).
Another question: whats hit cap for hunter?
Thanks for replies =)

Why's that? I've always thought BM Hunters preferred slower weapons due to Serpent's Swiftness.

To a certain extent. 2.6 is the perfect speed for a BM hunter. With our talent haste that comes to about 1.8 attack speed. Allowing us to weave in in steady shot, becoming a machine gun using a 1:1 ratio.

SV and MM cant get to that point so they want a slower weapon (2.9/3.0) to form a proper 1.5:1 rotation.
Or a 3:2 with some passive haste and 4pc T6 :P
