The only other viable option for optimal PVE performance is Blacksmithing. The combination of being able to use the profession-specific gems such as Delicate Dragon's Eye, as well as crafting profession specific items like Titanium Impact Band and Titanium Impact Choker, outweigh the benefits of other professions. In addition, Engineers will be able to use explosives such as the new Global Thermal Sapper Charge and Saronite Grenade, as well as Super Sapper Charge and Goblin Sapper Charge.įor my money, Jewelcrafting is the second best profession for Hunters in Wrath of the Lich King Classic. So while we say goodbye to the age of Hunter domination in Burning Crusade, we say hello to their continued, albeit more balanced, success in Wrath of the Lich King. Plus, they still do excellent damage as well, and that will only scale as armor penetration becomes more widely available.

When applicable, Trueshot Aura can be a beneficial party/raid buff as well. Their utility is still beneficial in terms of Misdirection, Frost Trap, Freezing Trap, and Improved Hunter's Mark. Thanks to some new abilities and skill reworks, some areas where Hunters were lacking have been greatly improved. While they are still near the top of our PVE DPS Tier, they're no longer the runaway leader on the DPS meters. As we head into Wrath of the Lich King Classic, all that is about to change. The class would regularly top the damage meters and be a highly sought-after part of any raid composition. During The Burning Crusade Classic, Hunters were the undisputed kings of single-target DPS.
