Marksmanship Hunter Midnight Gearing Guide

Midnight Prepatch Tier Set Bonuses:

• (2) Set Bonus: Damage done increased by 6%.
• (4) Set Bonus: Damage done increased by 10%.

These bonuses replace the current Tier Set from The War Within Season 3, and will be used until we get access to the new Midnight Season 1 Tier Set.

You should still prioritize the gear you use by running a sim for your character, but the lists below will give you a good idea of what items are considered good for Marksmanship Hunter, and help you target the right content for each piece of loot.

• Overall
• Raiding
• Mythic+

Our best Trinket combination is Astral Antenna (from Loom’ithar in Manaforge Omega), and Unyielding Netherprism (from Fractillus in Manaforge Omega).

Other good trinkets from Mythic+ include:

• Signet of the Priory - Priory of the Sacred Flame
• Lily of the Eternal Weave - Eco-Dome Al’dani
• Empowering Crystal of Anub'ikkaj - Dawnbreaker
• Improvised Seaforium Pacemaker - Operation Floodgate

Other good trinkets from Raid include:

• Araz's Ritual Forge - Forgeweaver Araz
• Sigil of the Cosmic Hunt - The Soul Hunters
• Screams of a Forgotten Sky - Dimensius

Early Season alternatives from Delves are:

• Void-Touched Fragment
• Incorporeal Essence-Gorger

We want two pieces of gear with the Dawnthread Lining Embellishment, which increases critical strike rating when above 80% HP.

The best slots for our crafted pieces are Wrists and Gloves, due to their lower stat budget and bad alternatives.

The stats we want to apply to our crafted gear are Critical Strike and Mastery.

Alternatively, you could Craft a P.0.W. x2 with Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension, which increases a random secondary stat, every 8 seconds you remain in combat. Pair this embellishment with a pair of crafted Glyph-Etched Vambraces with Writhing Armor Banding to double up the Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension value of your weapon.This is a decent alternative during early Season, if you do not have access to an early Mythic-difficulty weapon.

Puzzling Cartel Chips (Dinars)

With the Server Reset on October 21st, players will be able to obtain up to 9 Puzzling Cartel Chips across several weeks, in order to buy up to 3 items from the Manaforge Omega raid. These items include Trinkets, Weapons and special effect items.

You should spend these Chips on the following Items, listed from most to least important:

• Unyielding Netherprism
• Interloper's Chain Boots
• Astral Antenna
• Improvised Seaforium Pacemaker

When choosing an item, always take into consideration what loot you have or will have access to, so you don’t waste your Dinars. In general, items from Mythic+ content can be difficult to come across on Mythic track, so choosing one of them can be of great value.

Reshii Wraps

Reshii Wraps is a new Cloak released in Patch 11.2 and will be the only cloak you use (and the only one that can drop from any content in Season 3). You gain access to it via a quest chain and completing chapter 3 of the main patch storyline.

The Reshii Wraps are upgradable via Ethereal Strands and can have secondary stats of your choice added to it.

To add a secondary stat to the Reshii Wraps you use a Fiber in the Fiber Socket of the Cloak. The highest quality version of the Fibers requires a work-order to a Tailor.

When picking a Fiber, I strongly recommend simming your character for the best stat for your current gear and intended content. If you just want a quick recommendation for which Reshii Fiber to use, then use Pure Precise Fiber (Crit).
