How to Increase Your Hunter DPS in WoW
The original "World of Warcraft" is an online role-playing game that was released in 2004. In it, you choose a class of character to play, and if you choose to be a hunter, you can pick from many pet companions and attack from a distance or close up with a variety of tools. The hunter also is a challenging character, and boosting your DPS, or damage per second, can help.

1
Look at your spec. As of patch 3.2, "Survival" is the top DPS spec for hunters. Check the hunter forums at the World of Warcraft site to find the top DPS spec for your current gear level (see Resources).
-
2
Use the right bullets/ammo. If you are using vendor bullets and ammo, you are cheating yourself out of damage points. Find an engineer to create you some Mammoth Cutters or Saronite Razorheads. Use these only in raids, since they are expensive but will increase your DPS.

Gem appropriately for your spec. If you are at Beast Mastery spec, you should focus on Attack Power. Survival specs benefit more from Agility, and Marksmen can benefit well from either or a combination. Once again, see your class forums for the best gem stats for your gear level.
-
4
Use a scope. Attaching the right scope to your bow or gun can give your DPS a boost. Ask an engineer to link you what he can make or browse scopes on the auction house.
-
5
Know your priority shots. Hunters do not work on a rotation but choose their shots by priority depending on spec. Use a practice dummy to help you remember your priority combos and get faster at selecting them.
-
6
Choose the right pet. Taking a tenacity pet into a raid doesn't help your DPS. The top DPS as of publication is a wolf for its Furious Howl ability.
-
7
Enchant your gear. Don't underestimate how much good enchants can help boost your damage. If you get a piece of gear you plan on keeping for awhile, have the very best enchant that you can put on it.
-
8
Use food buffs and pots/elixirs. The buffs you get from pots and food should not be ignored in a raid.
-
9
Use scrolls. An increased agility scroll will help you increase your DPS, even if you are at Beast Mastery spec. Every little bit helps. Just be sure there isn't a Death Knight in your group. If there is, the Horn of Winter will deactivate your scroll.
-
10
Max out your hit rating. Hit rating is extremely important for most classes in "WoW." Soft cap your hit (7 percent) as soon as you can, and hard cap (8 percent) as your gear improves.
