The Enigma Order

Allright, your gear seams to be taken care of quite ok, the complete lack of punctuation in the application proves the fact that you're indeed a UK person, I don't see no immidiate obstacles against offering you a test period.

This, however, would be all too easy and you're quite unlucky, simply because the guild master of the guild you're applying to happens to be a hunter. Now, while obviously how well you play can only be told after seeing you in action, I'd like to hear some spicy details about few of your choices. And so:

- why haste over mastery in general and how, if at all, does that affect your gameplay (call it rotation); what do you use as focus dump and why?
- Fluid Death, the trinket - with many available similar/better items, why did you choose to go with this one?
- which item would you consider as the one that needs upgrading the most?
- cloak enchant - economizing and actually having a reason to go with agility over crit?
- assuming you're familiar with Firelands encounters - if you were asked to solo the Spiderling Hatchlings (commonly refered to as "the aoe adds at Beth'tilac), what spec would you go with, why, and which talents would be crucial?
- can you think of any Firelands fight where a spec other than MM would be superior?

Please note that non of my questions suggests/assumes any of the decisoin you made about your gear is wrong per se.

Hoping to hear from you.

I honestly wish all testplayers we get knew their stuff half as good as your answers make me believe you do.

Just to shortly comment:
- haste versus mastery is a matter of preference and also fight specific, but there's by no means nothing wrong in going all out on haste. The focus dump part is still a bit vague, since theoretically haste-heavy hunter could use hardcasted Aimed Shot as focus dump, but that is only good as long as you know for a fact you won't have to cancel the cast. Shortly - haste and arcane as focus dump is more than viable.

- Fluid Death is very good of a trinket and if you're to any extent low on hit, make all the benfit of it you can, even if other items have higher ilvl (personally, I've used it up until heroic Hungerer)

- Bow (or, ranged weapon) hands down, this is the only slot that will give you few hundred dps increase straight away.

- 65 crit is better and given you have a nice cloak, it's a worthy investment. Still, the difference between agility is marginal.

- Beth'tilac - spot on. Bombardment, Entrapment, Trap Mastery and you can solo them in 25 man heroic, if only they don't dodge traps.

- Discussable, not that I've checked, but I'm fairly certain that MM hunters are ranked higher than survival. As far as I can say, there's no fight where MM would be any worst than the other specs, perhaps safe for heroic Ragnaros.

No surprise then, accepted. Just do something with that butt-ugly nickname for god's sake.

Just for sport then - and without checking! - which traps trigger Entrapment?

I laughed cause it's true
