I’d like to take a look this week at some of the heroic 5-man loot. If there’s one thing I personally noticed right away when researching said loot, it’s that there’s a marked lack of hit rating. In recognition of that, I have often included some choices for each slot that are technically slightly worse than others except for a good amount of hit rating. In the end, to get to that magic 9% hit rating cap for raid bosses (Although some claim the new cap is somewhere around 8.1%), you’ll need about 296 hit rating. To do that, you may end up needing to take both some of the loot from here and from last week’s normal dungeon guide, and top it off with some choiceenchantments and gems, but it’s certainly doable.

But now, without further ado, let’s see what heroics get you in Wrath of the Lich King.

This guide will focus mostly on normal dungeon drops, although where a quest reward, reputation reward, or relatively easy to craft crafted item is a good option for the slot, we’ll highlight it as well. By the end of this guide, the Hunter that didn’t quite finish their Karazhan runs during Burning Crusade should hopefully have an idea of where to get a good outlay of gear to prepare them for heroics, and eventually for Naxxramas itself.

Good luck on the drops, and good luck winning the rolls over those enhancement shamans!

Ranged Weapon

For this slot, you may just want to stick to the Zombie Sweeper Shotgun. Yes, technically this isn’t a dungeon drop, but I’m recommending it anyway. There’s just no pre-Heroic drop that really compares. It’s not too horribly fast, it has a good bit of hit rating, and the highest non-heroic non-engineered DPS you’ll see on a projectile weapon in Wrath. If you’re too impatient to wait for revered with the Argent Crusade though, try going after the Projectile Activator off of Loken in the Halls of Lighting, or the Trophy Gatherer off of Urtok Palehoof in Utgarde Pinnacle. Both are pretty solid weapons that should serve you well until you hit revered with the Crusade.

Alliance Vanguard and Horde Expedition

Much like in Burning Crusade, the first faction you encounter in Wrathwill be based on your side, and the quartermaster for either side will carry items that are mostly the same stat-wise. 

At revered and level 78, the Alliance will get access to the Sawed-Off Hand Cannon, while the Horde gets the Sin’dorei Recurve Bow. These weapons edge out theCrossbow of Relentless Strikes for DPS, so if you’ve been carrying it around since 70, here’s a nice quick and dirty upgrade.

Let’s take a look at the quest rewards of Howling Fjord and Borean Tundra and their attached dungeons, and see what they offer:Amulet

The Worg Fang Talisman is gotten from a set of quests at the Steel Gate in the Howling Fjord: I’ve Got A Flying Machine! For the Alliance, and The Artifacts of Steel Gate for the Horde. With both critical strike rating and stamina, it’s just what a growing Hunter needs.

So in a battle ground you are actually able to place your traps in such a way that no matter what direction someone assaults the flagg from they get trapped

To accomplish this you run and jump straight into the flag and drop your trap as you are about to hit it.

And I know screenies or it didn’t happen.

The Spirit-cat (Loque’nahak - NPC - World of Warcraft) in Scholazar Basin is no doubt a pet that a good deal of hunters will want by their side. Well, if you turn on Beast tracking, then he will show up as a yellow dot because he is a neutral mob. This is especially helpful because he wanders, mostly around hostile mobs.
It helps to be level 77+ with this so you can quickly and easily go around the Basin to search for him. His name is Loque’Nahak. Happy Hunting!

Ok so this happened to me today when I was trying to do The Thane of Voldrune. The Thane of Voldrune - Quest - World of Warcraft Anyway, The guys a pain to kill on that dragon, and he kept killing the dragon and resetting so the last time I got the dragon I flew right up on him to the point that I could have been standing on the ledge with him.

I was stunning regularly but he still killed the dragon before I got him to half health, but when I fell to the ground, my pet stayed up on the platform with the Thane. I had it set to defensive as this was happening, and I didn’t get a good screen shot because I didn’t realize was was happening until he was almost dead, however I can post one if you want. What was interesting though was that the Thane never attacked my pet, and it just beat away on him until he was dead and the quest was complete.

So by now, I figure most of you are well on your way to 80, and are probably starting to ask yourself: Which reputation should I grind first? There’s tons of ways to choose, be it roleplaying who your character would align themselves with or choosing the one that’s easiest to grind. One of the most popular and most effective though, is pretty simple: Asking yourself which one has the best loot.
