Touch of the Void: Another on use AoE trinket.You just can’t beat the AoE damage this thing puts out. Mirror of the Blademaster: This is the current best-in-slot trinket for Hunters also happens to be the best trinket for Timewalking.There’s a huge back catalog of trinkets to choose from, but here’s a few of my favorites. Mirror of the Blademaster in action Trinkets If you’re looking to solo for some of these older sets, check out the previous post on Hunter soloing. For current set bonuses, I would go T17 for Beast Mastery and T18 for Marksmanship. Part of the power for these old sets is all of the sockets (more on that later). Huge damage potential, but you can get unlucky with the low proc chance. 4-piece T10: Great bonuses for Burning Crusade and Wrath Timewalking, but not worth it for Cataclysm.2-piece T13 + 2-piece T16: You’ll be a Focus regenerating machine.2-piece T14 + 2-piece T16: Especially great for Marksmanship and not too shabby for the other specs either.There are a lot of options for this and I encourage you to experiment, but here are some of my favorite tier combinations for Timewalking. Since these scopes can’t be used on items above ilvl 600, your only option for a scope on the Hellscream’s Warbow is one of the Warlords of Draenor scopes. Can only used for Burning Crusade or Wrath of the Lich King Timewalking.įor scopes, your best bet is the Gnomish X-Ray Scope or Flintlocke’s Woodchucker. Zod’s Repeating Longbow (Heroic) has both a socket, and a proc which does a little bit of damage.These all have sockets which you can drop a 10 agility gem into. If you can’t do either of the above, then use any raid weapon from Throne of Thunder or Siege of Orgrimmar.Hellscream’s Warbow (now unobtainable) has two sockets for two 10 agility gems, making it the next best choice. Taoren, the Soul Burner is a great choice if you completed the Mists of Pandaria legendary quest, as you can socket a Crystallized Dread into it.The main way to differentiate weapons are sockets and procs. This is why the legendary bow isn’t that special in terms of power. If you got rid of it, you can pick it up again from Zooti Fizzlefury in Zanagarra for 1600g.Īll weapons will get scaled down to the same DPS in Timewalking (assuming they match or exceed the base item level of that particular Timewalking dungeon). Its proc isn’t scaled down in Timewalking. You’re actually much better off wearing the previous incarnation of the ring, the Spellbound Runic Band of Unrelenting Slaughter. For some reason, Blizzard decided to scale down the proc to a 1% damage increase. Maalus, the Blood Drinker is not really worth using in Timewalking dungeons. Can be purchased from the Blacktalon Quartermaster.įen-Yu, Fury of Xuen is usable in all three forms of Timewalking (and in the future for Mists of Pandaria Timewalking if/when they add it) and is worth using over every other cloak if you completed the quest back in Mists of Pandaria. You just have to make sure you’re using a helm with a meta gem socket that is at least ilvl 502. The Capactive Primal Diamond (meta gem) from the Mists of Pandaria legendary questline works in Timewalking and will give you a nice little damage boost. Due to the lack of a socket, there’s not a whole lot of benefit to using it over other weapons, beyond the coolness factor of equipping a legendary weapon on your Hunter. The legendary bow, Thori’dal, the Stars’ Fury, is only worth using for Burning Crusade timewalking. Let’s get the obvious ones out of the way first. In patch 6.2.3, Blizzard will also be adding a Cataclysm Timewalking event, which takes a few items out of contention (remember, Timewalking gear doesn’t scale upwards) but there are still plenty of items and sets from the recent past that can shine in Timewalking. Yeah, you can walk into Timewalking with whatever is on your back and clear it, but if you’re intent on grinding out the rewards or going for the recently-announced Infinite Timereaver mount, being able to annihilate things by taking advantage of old set bonuses or scaling oddities will get you there faster. These are either things you haven’t used in years, or things you never had the opportunity to use because you weren’t playing a Hunter at the time. I think the best thing about Timewalking is it allows you to use fun tier set bonuses and trinkets from the past.
