Max Damage For a Hunter(non raid)

[ckentlea]

Hello all.
Recently come to noticed that my hunter, with regards to damage, isnt that great.
Now he can hold his own etc but often doesnt seem to pull of damage i'd like(ould be because of the book 7 but heh)

I'm trying to find out the best set-up for pure damage as possible, with no raid-equipment)
Grinding is not a problem, but on most days i dont have the time that most raids seem to need

Any advice or link that may help?

Well obviously you want 7 Bowmaster, but that will only give you about 2 minutes of shooting with an ICPR of 800+ so get plenty of Power Pots.

And a level 59 Second Age Xbow with T6 Focus & Induction crit, but your chances of getting that are 1 in a bloody lot of 0's - really.

1 in 100,000 at least, more likely 1 in 1,000,000.

Pocket item from Helegrod, +10% damage for 30 seconds. Good luck on getting 24 people to go with you

Hunter items from Lothlorien which *might* give you an increase in damage from +10% crit for 30 secs.

And the end result will be that,...you cant outdamage a RK in the short term or match his Crits.

Youll never win a spar v a RK either :)

Have fun now.

oh gods yes power...

i do have a second age xbow(got very lucky and saw it on ah for 5g)

What about virtues? any good ones for this type of build?

There arnt any which directly help damage.

The +Agility ones will help indirectly.

Other than that its just preference.

I usually run with Valour, Justice, Determination (+Morale & Agility)

Then a combo of Wisdom & Patience for regen & wound resist.

Others prefer a mitigation build with -melee & -ranged incoming damage.
