Marksmanship Hunter Midnight Gearing Guide

Midnight Season 1 Tier Set Bonuses:

• (2) Set Bonus: Precise Shots damage increased by an additional 20%.
• (4) Set Bonus: Spending Precise Shots has a small chance to release a volley of arrows at your target, dealing damage to nearby enemies.

Tier Set Discussion:

Incredibly underwhelming Tier Set, playing into buffing our filler abilities a bit more. The 4 Set Bonus is essentially useless since it does very little damage.

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+

Marksmanship Hunter is highly focussing on dealing their damage inside Trueshot, therefore it is always best to use an on-use Trinket to sync up with your Cooldown.

The best combination of Trinkets is Algeth'ar Puzzle Box from Algeth’ar Academy and Umbral Plume from Belo’ren in the March on Quel’Danas.

Recommended Active Trinkets:

• Algeth'ar Puzzle Box - 2 minute on-use Mastery Trinket
• Emberwing Feather - 2 minute on-use Haste Trinket

Recommended Passive Trinkets:

• Umbral Plume - Semi passive Crit Trinket on a 1 minute cooldown. This automatically syncs up with Trueshot.
• Vessel of Tortured Souls - Passive stacking Primary stat Trinket. This is mostly competitive on longer fights, that allow you to stack it up. Keep in mind that you need to pick up the Orbs spawned from the Trinket in order to get the buff!
• Gaze of the Alnseer - Passive Primary stat proc Trinket.

We want to invest our Sparks into an "Embellishment-Set". In order to take advantage of the set, and therefore the entire Embellishment value, you will need to craft and equip 2 of the pieces at the same time.

The first part is the World Tender's Barkclasp belt and the other parts are the World Tender's Rootslippers boots.

When having the set active, you grant access to a big random secondary stat proc. This Embellishment-Set is the best choice for every scenario.

Both of these items come with pre-selected secondary stats, so you can’t decide the stats yourself.

Note: If you do not have access to a Mythic Quality Weapon from the Raid, you could alternatively craft a Weapon instead. This consumes the same amount of Sparks as 2 non weapon crafted pieces, but is not recommended.

Nebulous Voidcores (Bonus Rolls)

2 Nebulous Voidcores can be acquired per week (and 1 more if you spend 6 Great Vault tokens). You can use these Voidcores to receive Bonus Loot from several sources. An Item from Mythic Raid will cost you 2 Voidcores, whereas Items from Mythic+ Dungeons will cost only one.

You should try to spend these in Mythic+ keys of level 10+ or Mythic Raid difficulty for Myth Track rewards.

On Marksmanship Hunter there are only a couple specific Items worth chasing:

• Algeth'ar Puzzle Box from Algeth’ar Academy
• Umbral Plume from Belo’ren

Remaining Bonus Rolls can basically be freely used to fill up remaining slots, especially Mythic Tier-Set or a Mythic quality Weapon.

As a single dungeon to use your Bonus rolls on, I would simply recommend Algeth’ar Academy, since the majority of those Items are useful.

Ascendant Voidcores (Weapon and Trinket Upgrades)

Ascendant Voidcores can be acquired through the Voidforge. Those Voidcores are used to upgrade your Weapons and Trinkets by a maximum of 10 item levels.

Make sure to only use upgrades on Mythic quality gear! The first Upgrade should be used on your Mythic Weapon. Following upgrades can be used once you acquired a Mythic quality Algeth'ar Puzzle Box!
