For a long time, I rolled with [Grim Toll] and [Mirror of Truth]. Soon, it will be [Bandit's Insignia] and [Darkmoon Card: Greatness]

While the armor penetration on [Grim Toll] isn’t the best stat in the world (Armor pen is kind of worthless at this point), the hit rating is outstanding. It puts me above the cap, which is where I like to be. I hate talenting for hit, because as we all know, our pets don’t get that hit from Focused Aim.

Recently, I’ve acquired a [Bandit's Insignia] to replace the [item]Mirror Of Truth[/item], and that has proven to be a good DPS increase, as it procs quite a bit more than the mirror does. But my current dilemma is this: I also have a Nobles Deck, and very soon will trade it in for [Darkmoon Card: Greatness], the best hunter trink in the game. In fact, it’s rumored to STAY best in slot through Ulduar. Hence, the [Grim Toll] will have to go.

That’s a lot of hit to lose, and will put me below cap. However, the current testers on the PTR report that a long-awaited change has been made. Focused Aim now affects pet hit rating. Since the current max DPS spec has a few “floater” points, this makes it very easy for me to drop 2 points into Focused Aim and maintain a hit cap, while allowing me to take advantage of the awesome DPS of [Darkmoon Card: Greatness].

I, for one, can’t wait for the patch to drop! (After all, hunters have always wanted Moar DoTs!)
