    9. Best gear for leveling as a hunter

    The first thing you need to know aboutplaying hunter is that you want to be doingas much ranged damage as possible. So here is thepriority:

    • PVP during leveling : Agi > Stam > Intel
    • Focus only leveling : Agi > Intel > Sprit

    Why focus on agility?

    • 1 Agility = 2 Ranged Attack Power
    • 53 Agility = 1% Critical Strike Chance

    You need as much agility as possible to increase your damage and critical strike chance. Apart from agility the other main stats you want to be thinking about are Stamina and Intellect.

    • 1 Stamina = 10 Hit Points
    • 1 Intellect = 15 Mana
