Hunter's ranged weapons are poorly described by tooltips. DPS numbers are often misleading as slower weapons will do much better damage than faster ones. Below is a list of hunter weapons tiered by their DPS for a tier 2 MM hunter and whether the weapons should be clipped. Please be informed-- it is not worth taking a Striker's Mark or something similar from a melee when a blue dungeon weapon is better.

The advised leveling spec for new hunters is Beastmaster all the way to 60 [(click here to see talent order)](https://www.wowhead.com/classic/talent-calc/hunter/5000322151511051-150510304/0AEFGhjjkjjjmpnmmmmrrrrsr1BDeGajjjj). The fastest leveling spec for hunter without a %xp buff from levels 1-40 is [Marksmanship](https://www.wowhead.com/classic/talent-calc/hunter/5000322041-52051030513051-03); you must be chain pull, kiting mobs without attempting to let your pet tank them for this to be a speed gain. If you're new to the spec I highly recommend going Beastmaster; Pathfinder's movement speed and more pet damage to help your pet keep aggro are immense quality of life improvements to casual leveling.

It is advisable to respec to BM once you are level 31 for Spirit Bond.

Pets can do a considerable percentage of a hunter's damage even if they are not Beast Mastery hunters. All hunters should focus on keeping their pet alive and on the boss (pet uptime). Check the [raiding]({{ site.baseurl }}/raiding) section for pet talents per each raid: we vary the resistances to give our pets the best chance of surviving.

-
The math used to calculate Aimed Shot's damage mostly ignores weapon speed and so two different weapons with the same DPS but different attack speeds will do very similar Aimed Shot damage. However, the faster weapon will do less damage for each auto and will have its autos delayed more by Aimed Shots long cast time. Because of this, we prioritize Aimed Shots over Auto Shots for weapons with an attack speed less than 3. This means that you should cast Aimed Shot on CD even if it means interrupting a partially cast Auto Shot: this is called clipping.

Clipping fast attack speed weapons yields a DPS boost but will drain mana faster. See [Ranged Weapons](#ranged-weapons) for specifics of whether you should clip a given weapon.

Max weaving is the most melee heavy weave rotation and the only one which genuinely sacrifices ranged damage for melee damage. It should only be performed when consistently weaving sub 2.5 seconds. The rotation is `auto - aimed - auto - raptor - auto - multi - melee ...` repeat. Max weaving is a DPS loss over normal weaving and sometimes the ranged rotation when your melee or ranged weapons are too fast.

So if you FD and then auto, you delay your rotation by the difference between an unhasted and a hasted auto (3.4 - 2.9 = .5 for Xbow). If you FD and then aimed you delay your rotation by-- the time it takes between casting FD and combat drop + trinket swap + the difference between an unhasted auto and aimed shot (~.3 + .5). Its tricky though-- because this depends on your rotation and when you want to FD.

Hunters get the short end of the buff stick. Dire Maul Tribute's [Fengus' Ferocity](https://classic.wowhead.com/spell=22817/fengus-ferocity) is only melee AP. Battle Chicken's [squak](https://classic.wowhead.com/spell=23060/battle-squawk) is only melee attack speed. These buffs are only useful if you are melee weaving. Hell, even the AP component of [Rallying Cry of the Dragonslayer](https://classic.wowhead.com/spell=22888/rallying-cry-of-the-dragonslayer) is only melee (luckily the crit does affect ranged attacks).

In 1.12, hunters got the short end of the buff stick and did not receive benefits to their ranged attacks from many world buffs. **This is fixed in era and seasons.** You should collect all world buffs before raids if you want to perform optimally: [Darkmoon Faire Damage](https://www.wowhead.com/classic/spell=23768/sayges-dark-fortune-of-damage) when available, [Dire Maul Tribute](https://www.wowhead.com/classic/zone=2557/dire-maul) buffs, [Rallying Cry of the Dragonslayer](https://classic.wowhead.com/spell=22888/rallying-cry-of-the-dragonslayer), [Spirit of Zandalar](https://www.wowhead.com/classic/spell=24425/spirit-of-zandalar), and [Songflower Serenade](https://www.wowhead.com/classic/spell=15366/songflower-serenade).

[Warchief's Blessing](https://www.wowhead.com/classic/spell=16609/warchiefs-blessing) haste only applies to melee so it's only useful for weaving or its mp5.

[Greater Fire Protection Potion](https://classic.wowhead.com/item=13457/greater-fire-protection-potion) are key to protecting your Aimed Shot from suffering pushback on Firemaw, Vael, etc.

Horde weavers in windfury groups should not use stones/mana oil; Horde weavers outside windfury groups and all Alliance weavers should use [Consecrated Sharpening Stones](https://www.wowhead.com/classic/item=23122/consecrated-sharpening-stone) on undead otherwise [Brilliant Mana Oils](https://www.wowhead.com/classic/item=20748/brilliant-mana-oil) if it prevents you from running out of mana, otherwise [Elemental Sharpening Stones](https://www.wowhead.com/classic/spell=22757/elemental-sharpening-stone).
