Hello, this is a post of a nerd to prove you that hunter ranged gnomer set is garbage and need to be reworked.
Stats gained by agility at level 40 :
33 agility = 1% crit
1 agility = 2 ranged ap
GNOMER set
Chest : 7 stamina / 6 intelect / 1% crit / 26 ap
Foot : 10 agility / 9 stamina / 9 intellect
Legs : 10 stamina / 10 intellect / 28 ap / 1 % hit
Set bonus : 2p : 24 ap / 3p : chance to recover mana on hit
Total ap (with 20% lion buff) : (10*1.2)*2 + 26 + 28 + 24 = 102 ranged ap
Total stats (with 20% lion buff) :
Agility : 12
Crit : 12/33 + 1 = 1,36 %
Hit : 1%
BFD set
Head : 10 agility / 9 stamina / 15 ap
Chest : 13 agility / 9 stamina
Foot : 5 strengh / 7 agility / 7 stamina
Set Bonus : 2p : 12 ap / 3p : 1 %hit
Total ap (with 20% lion buff) : ((10+13+7)*1,2)*2 + 12 + 15 = 99 ranged ap
Total stats (with 20% lion buff) :
Agility : 36
Crit : 36/33 : 1,09 %
Hit : 1%
As you can see our new tier set you will give a total of 3 ranged ap and 0.27 crit chance over the BFD tier and loose a total of 24 agility. It really hurts.
Not to mention our bis waist rune “Expose Weakness” which give us ap power based on 40 % of our agility, it feels like this set is not build around us.
The 3p bonus could be nice but now with viper aspect it’s simply useless since we will never get oom in combat.
Please Blizzard consider replacing raw ap in the chest and legs set by some agility it hurts ranged hunter too much, if not please don’t make the same mistake for new phases incoming.
Ranged hunter need agility not intellect, it’s not classic anymore.
