Hunter *****

Hunter T8 2P Bonus -- Increases the damage done by your Serpent Sting by 10%.
Hunter T8 4P Bonus -- Your Steady Shot has a chance to grant you 600 attack power for 15 sec.

*Tier * Set Bonus just released on MMO.....

Interesting choices. Will be interesting to see what kind of timer the 4P Bonus is on. The 2P bonus is a little naff IMO but it looks like they are really wanting us to have that "Serpent" Sting on and not others...

4-piece bonus is interesting...it could either be really good or not so hot, depending on the proc rate, and doesn't seem like it will be worth it for MM or SV since they don't use Steady Shot much.

I'm guessing that the stats at least are going to make T8 an upgrade from T7/7.5, but if I get the chance I may be tempted to keep two pieces of T7 for the boost to pet damage.

I think they're decent.
The buff steady shot with a 4pc trend is kind of lame though.

If they had made it "your arcane and explosive shot have a chance to grant you 600 attack power for 15 sec." it would've been somewhat more interesting.
And more fitting towards Blizz's goal to make steady a filler shot.

And 2pc something like, "your serpent sting ticks have a chance equal to your critical strike chance to deal double damage" would've been cool too.
But I can see what they did here, it's about a 25-30ish dps upgrade for BM and SV, but more like a 70ish dps upgrade for MM. (numbers plucked from the EJ 3.1 thread)

Slight off topic question, if you have 4pc do you get the 4pc bonus on top of the 2 pc bonus?

I do agree they're boring, plain damage buffs.

They should be more like Allows kill shot to be used on targets below 30% health or Each time you deal three critical strikes in 4 5 seconds your chance to crit is increased by 1% for 30 seconds, stacks 5 times (I know these aren't balanced).

You can get the 4pc and 2pc bonuses at the same time, they are separate buffs. We you asking about different tiers? That works too, and technically with 8 pieces it should be possible to get both 4 pc bonuses.
