So does Blizzard have a bunch of monkies with no hunter experience making the sets for hunters now? Sure it's got 391 AP but ~3% crit is just sad... No thanks I'll keep my T3.

Off of the same 5 pieces you get 115 agility, 127 Stamina, 62 int =( 226 AP, 20 hit rating **84** critical strike rating and 17 Mana Regeneration...

So for the loss of 54 int, 52AP and 2mana regen. you get 2 more agi, 24 more stam, 2 more hit rating and 51 more critical strike rating...

The int is the only big thing that you see there untill you compare set bonuses... pet heals you for 172 to 198 or extend rapid fire for 4 more seconds. 5% more crit on Steady shot (Remember T3 already gives you 51 more critical strike rating on all shots) or 50AP for you and your pet...

Not to mention if you get even 1 more piece of Cryptstalkers your Mana regen shoots through the roof... but way to make Riftstalker awesome blizzard...

Remember: this set has item sockets to make up for whatever you lose from the other earlier sets. Plus, any rings/trinkets/necklace you equip can also help.

Much like Diablo II, Blizzard is making the armor more user upgradable to meet different talents specs and playing styles. Two of the pieces are socketed and with the GEMS, you can add more +crit, +AP, +hit and such to suit your needs.

Being someone that played Diablo II for years, I see it as the developers finally getting smart on the aspects of different people playing their characters differently and not continuing to offer plain vanilla sets.

Dont forget the socket bonuses you get. I guess this is the reason why Blizzard makes new sets with almost identical stats compared to old sets. I really do hope that gems will make the difference.

Yeah I agree ccolbey :) btw is it just me that think this set looks like shit, at least on NE^^

Look wise I'd rather have Demon Stalker then Rift Stalker. Then again, Rift Stalker looks so "different" people will realize it's something special.

Commento di 15628

Easily the most ridiculous looking set ingame. Makes Felheart look cool. What's with the helm? And the shoulders? Not like I'm ever going to achieve the entire set anyway.
Probably intended to look good on a Tauren, since most other Hunter gear looks like garbage on them. It's karma.

tier 4 and 5 for hunters lacks highly in crit rating, which, as a hunter, is one of the more important attributes along with agility, which is also definatly lacking in this set...personaly i think that the hunter epic set from the arena (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/itemset=586) is better than both rift and demon stalker's...more agility, crit chance and resilience...a hands down favorite

Commento di 33644

sweet set proc for pet finnaly something for beastmasters like me.

Commento di Iconix

except you missed the part where the arena set has nearly 200 less attack power and 60 less intellect. Stats you also kinda care about as a hunter, ESPECIALLY as a raiding hunter who tier 5 is geared toward in the first place.

is the PTR/2.1 changes to this set, and imo, they picked up on the fact that they nerfed agility items, the set goes from 119 now, to 162 base, not counting gems or the socket bonus

mp5 is useless, gief crit rating

Has anyone noticed that there isnt any Tier gear that is geared towards BM hunters? I mean if anyone knows of any can you guys please tell me becuase I havent found any.

Regarding Hylene's "not geared towards BM hunters" statement ---

Are you kidding me? The two piece set bonus is absolutely fantastic for BM Hunters. You see, our pets don't usually die from a single blow. In fact - because of the Avoidance skill (reduces AoE Damage by 50%) our pets tend to stay alive a lot longer.

That being said, our main concern is that a lot of little attacks will kill our pet.

Now we don't have to worry. Our pets can heal themselves, saving us mana and worry. We can keep our pets in battle a lot longer.

---About the other Set Bonus in general ---

The four piece bonus is even more amazing. As our main in-between shot, Steady Shot is fired almost as much as Auto shot......now it will crit 5% more...allowing for even more Kill Commands...Exposed Weaknesses...Damage...everything.

Tier 5 is godly. Can't wait to start getting more of it :).

Can anyone comment on the 2 piece bonus' proc chance?

Commento di 87986

where can you get the currency for all the pieces?

Commento di 91216

Except you missed the part where T5 has no crit rating. Sure, you gain ~180 AP, but you LOSE 95 crit rating. This doesn't even factor in the set bonuses, either. The Int doesn't really matter, you'll still be using Fel Mana Pots. The stamina matters in a select number of fights.

The biggest thing that T5 offers over the Arena set isn't the AP, it's the hit rating. It frees up other gear such as rings or necklaces or weapon and allows you to allocate more stats there. That's the best thing about the set, not the AP.

Gotta love that 2-piece bonus :)

i tried reading the post above me, but i stopped halfway due to the fact i couldnt read anything they were typing

Commento di Thottbot

I'd like to start off with a story. Today, I was in a group in Blade Ridge Mountains, taking on some elite ogres, when I noticed something. The tank wasn't losing aggro. Frankly, this is somewhat of a rare ability so I decided to give him a test. I chucked on Growl and went on all out nukeage, on a couple of mobs. 3 Crits in a row. Near 4k dmg in a sec, and the dude didnt lose aggro. Growl on and he didnt lose aggro. I've never seen anything like it. But it goes to show whats possible with a damn good tank.

Also, pets are important for MM hunters too you know. My Boar counts for near 20% of my damage while solo farming and about 18% of my damage in the average 5-10 man. And I'm sitting here with 1600 AP and 20% crit Just wanted to get that in, 'cause all I'm seeing are BM hunters talking 'bout how useful their pets are :) And as for hunters that, for one reason or another, dont use thier pets in an instance, your crippling yourself. Get that pet out asap.

As for the set. As far as I'm concerned, the set bonuses for this are so completely superior to Demon Stalker that it makes me wonder what the hell Blizz were on when they made the Demon Stalker. Perhaps I'm just lucky (or perhaps 'cause I don't have to use FD more than about 5 times in an average instance), but my FD gets resisted about once every other run of an instance, if that. And -27 mana cost for Multi? Pshh. Gimme 5 mana/5 secs any day.

Commento di Thottbot

ok...on BM and pets and armor...first off, a panther or tiger out of zg in BM will have 9800 armor by 67. im sick of seeing everyone pull the measuring tape out, of all things, to measure.

Hunters, if used correctly by a guild, and used correctly as a class, will need little to no pet heals and should NEVER pull aggro off a MT in an endgame scenario. The only reason i could think of is to unstack a debuff to allow a heal, but even then youre probably already wiped, and the pet would die more often than not anyway.

as far as gear goes, this set WILL help in PVE endgame, as applied to a pet, because as all hunter pullers know, your pet is your best pull at long range with no space for the raid to advance.

finally, how did this become about what is a bane to a warrior, warriors vs pets, and all that. from what i can tell, ppl were simply commenting on how thier pet kicks ass. i know mine does. if he pulls aggro OFF of a tank, its not the hunters fault all the time, and its not the tanks fault all the time. its a game, and as such, event the best tank can slip, and vice versa.

Commento di Thottbot

If a BM's pet has more survivability than the crappy Warrior who do you think the Priest should heal?

Commento di Thottbot

I just wish all would stick to discussing the armor set. How to get what is needed to turn in where in order to get it. Everyone is of course entitled to their opinion, but when I click on Rift Stalker Armor in Thottbot it is to find this out, not read endless unrelated debate about pet tanking vs warrior tanking. I swear, every hunter item I look at it seems like someone just cut and pasted the same useless drivel, and insult.

Commento di Thottbot

i would like to say that every onr is talking about bm has best pets mm can do most damage blah blah blah blah blah my personal opinion go survival but if u dont kow why im not goin to tell you i just wanna say that theres many of ways of specin your hunters ive been a lv of every spec and a couple variations of each even but these chats are so people can come and find were to ge there grear so STOP TALKING ABOUT CRAP AND STTOP ARGUING AND TALK ABOUT WERE TO GET THE GEAR instead of making peopel wast there time reding crap that tells them nothing

All this talk about Beastmastery hunters being bad made me think. The other day when i playd my shaman on the magtheridon server i started talking to a hunter from Nihilum, who were Beastmastery. As i have hunter myself, i asked if Beastmastery was good dmg, and he said it was quiet nice.

Next day when i logged on my hunter on Zenedar, i asked in the guild if they would belive that Beastmastery was good dmg in raids, and they were all like "hell no, but you can spec Beastmastery and make us laught."

A few days later i spoke to one of my friends on Zenedar who are a hunter too, and i found out that he was Beastmastery too(i think it's important to say here, that he is in one of the best guilds on Zenedar atm.) Personaly i would never spec Beastmastery, as i like Silencing shot and Scatter shot too much. Either way, what im trying to say is. Yes, spec and gear matters, but what's really important is skills.

So stop saying a spec is bad, because maybe you don't like it(just like i think survival is crap)but other people might like it, and be really good at it. Skills is important - yeah i know i just said that.

P.S. Raids are not about the purples themselves. Raids are about having fun, doing something together and achieving respect. Purples gives respect. Myself i really enjoy raiding, and i don't mind wiping 20 times on a boss, as long as people do their best. If we wipe cuz people are watching TV, or eating sweets and !@#$ like that, i might become a bit moody.

Anyway, i hope you understand what i'm trying to say. People are different in WoW - just like we're different outside WoW.

Commento di Thottbot

THIS SET ROCKS - I WANT IT :P (MM SPEC) (BM IS COOL TOO)

Secondly - everyone seems to be talking how pets arn't that good at tanking. Well here is the truth - I was in KARA the other day and the mage got agro from a sheep that was broken by the shammy(not on purpose) - i scattered shot the elite and set a trap (I HAVE FULL POINTS ON IMP TRAPS) and was resisted - i set my pet to stop attacking the main tanks target and go attack the elite attacking the mage - i turned on growl and bam - the pet had its agro (DAMN FAST). The mage was saved by my pet - the healer - healed my pet while it was tanking - so did i (NOW THAT IT IS A HoT) and my pet stayed alive long enough for the OFF tank to finish off the 2 elites he was on and took the agro off my pet(IE I TURNED GROWL OFF) and just as the healer was trying to heal it - it died - we all stayed alive(BAR MY PET) and no wipe.

This same scenario happened half a dozen times during that run and many other.

Now everytime i go there - the mage, priest and Raid leader- pats my cat and clothies tell it to bite anyone who comes close to them- lol - they love my pet and it is just another bonus that hunters have while playing their class.

******************************************

TIP - TAKE LOTS OF FOOD FOR YOUR PET - KINDA GETS UNHAPPY EVERY TIME IT DIES - POOR THING :(

******************************************
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE AND MAY YOU ALL FIND MANY EPICS - WITH YOUR PET HELPING - LOL :D

Where does one get the drops for the set of Rift Stalkers?

Commento di Thottbot

Lmao.. this is suppose to be a forum about the gear set, but since i found all the arguments about talent specs and pets so very amusing i had to give my two cents:
I am a MM hunter and I was in a UBRS raid group the other day when low and behold i was asked by two of the lvl 70s (I myself only being a 65 noob) to dismiss my pet:0 I dismissed myself and my pet from the raid! I live and die by my pet, he is as important to me as my bow. I am very much aware of how to use my pet, ie:turning growl/taunt off and on when appropriate to make sure not to pull aggro off tanks and what not. The only time my pet gets me into trouble is when the main tank sucks a$$, which really isnt my pet's fault. So to any of you hunters out there regardless of you spec, if you wanna try running instances without your pet, why dont you also try running them without your bow/crosbow/gun instead? Your a Hunter for pete's sake, the pet is part of your class, learn to use it, learn to love it! Or you could always reroll a warrior then whine when a hunter's pet pulls aggro off you. Lol

Commento di Thottbot

I am 13/45/3 hunter lvl 70. My pet is a turtle named "MeatShield" I took some bm for hp, armor and outdoor speed of my pet as well as the 2% damage of the focused fire. Took 3 in sv for range increased and the rest in marksman for dps and abilities.

My pet dont do much damage, but got 7000 hp, 13000 armor and keep aggro quite well. With 2 parts of my tier 5, i can heal my pet myself as long with mend pet, which is great for solo as well for instances, since it can really well tank a single mob while we are kiling another. I trap one and we are appy. I do have to admit my pet cant really tank magic users, since it dont have magic resistances, but for all melee types, it's great ( exept for bosses, of course )

Also, the shell shied ability makes him a really great tank ( half damage of any source ) for a limited time.

If there is only 1 big mob we are fighting, i let my growl on on, and if the tank lose aggro over my pet, i turn growl off till tank ge aggro back and i turn growl on, because i prefer have my pet taking damage than he healer if the tank die. ( in the extreme of cases )

I know my pet dont do much damage with auto attack and bite. but at least, i know he wont die easily.

also, you have to remember hunter is all about strategy, you can go way back, put a trap, put your pet on stay, come back, pet attack 2 mobs, and put it inactive, it will kite these 2 back to his spot, making one trapped and if your pet die, it'll give some time to the party to react while the mob is coming backk, a frost trap instead of the freezing trap in the middle of the way between original mob place and pet "stay place" would be kinda cool too, since they'll be slower to get to him and slower to get back, giving even more time for the party to react.

Hope my post helped you all.

Just want to say, as far as my experiences go, MM is the worst pure dps spec for pve, but I've seen several endgame hunters as MM and they do very well in hyjal/bt so I keep an open mind. I have raided SSC and TK as both surv and BM, and, while both have better dps than MM, in terms of my spec, BM far out shines surv. As for the set bonus, I prefer t5 as a whole, for both bonus's, to t6, although the mana from aov is nice and the 10% extra dam from steady is godly, 2p from t5 gives your pet a whole new level of survability in endgame, and 5% extra steady shot crit is like having your own feral druid with you, which means more crits, obviously, but also more kill commands which helps ur dps. Looking at an example of dps/2p bonus, heres a wws of me in ssc as Surv. (5/20/36) and only one piece of t5:

http://wowwebstats.com/hqzzta2wr3a3k

And heres one of me with exactly the same gear only 2p t5, and as BM (pretty much standard 41/20/0)

http://wowwebstats.com/xmqv6ewdnucl5

Obviously you cant take my overall position on damage charts into account as it was a different run with different people under slightly different circumstances, but, for one, the amount of healing I did with 2p t5 was amazing, nearly 900k over the entire run. Sure, a high % of that is over heal, but when its not costing any mana, whats wrong with that? secondly, as BM, look at the change in my dps.

Commento di Thottbot

lets put this into perspective shall we.......

what looks more menacing:

Massive shoulder blades that look like they've got dragons made outta bolts of lightning

OR

Tiny round shoulders that fit comfortably and give you about as much protection as a rubber band would?

seriously people i havent seen a shoulder or head gear that isn't outragous cause otherwise it'd look like it's for level 12's! Hell I'll say it i don't know many items for level 70 that aren't massive and outragous. quit wining about how big they are when thats what makes them look better than anything else your gona where
