    1 empty glyph slot
    1 unselected talent slot
    3 unenchanted items
    4 non-Mail items 

     

    You are wearing caster gear (intellect)

    Instead of armor kits, why not use enchants? Tho it doesn't really matter at that level. But it'd help.

    (I presume at some point this thread will be moved to the WoW forums ... but since you're in the pub at the moment... )

    In WoW, a hunter by this level wants almost all gear to have mail with AGL.

    I notice you have a few pieces of your gear have INT or STR.  You are also missing glyphs and a talent.  These little things add up in a hurry.   Beyond that, you'll need to find someone more experience at min/maxing WoW than me.

    As Shadowguy64 has said, you have 4 pieces of druid/shaman gear, as well as a tanking ring. If you upgraded this with entirely mail agility gear, that would increase your damage like crazy.

    Enchantments at this level aren't necessary to get near the top, but as he said, it does help. The empty glyph slot and unspent talent point is a problem as well, but that also may not be a big problem.

    I would say fix up your gear, then work on your damage rotation. People who do the best DPS have a specific rotation of their skills that they do at specific times to maximize DPS. It's not in the least bit fun, but it helps a ton to know what order is best to use your skills.

    Thank you for posts, ill make sure to post in wow forums next time.

    Where can i get enchants? Can i get them at the auction house?  I just changed all my gear to mail and added a talent point in exhileration, which doesn't add damage but alot of ppl say i should get it.

    Also, if i get glyphs can i reset them later if i decide i want to change them, or if i make a mistake, thats why ive been avoiding adding any in for awhile it says permanent, going for mainly a pvp character.

    There is a dust of disappearance you can get from inscription PCs/NPCs that lets you erase glyph/talent choices. 

    My memory is a little fuzzy on the details (I very rarely changed choices back when I played).

    Don't worry about enchants at your level, honestly.

    Most of your problem is the pieces of gear which don't have Agility.

    The rest of it would be to make sure you're using a good skill rotation.  

    Enchants, Glyphs, etc, will help but aren't the core of the problem; you have to start with a good foundation first.

    I always thought leather was way to go for hunter, guess ive been playing to much runescape.

    I have full mail now all with agility, along with a few enchants, chaned my warrior ring. doing way more damage now. I'll do some searching on some rotations.

    Thanks everyone :)

    First all your gear is wrong , Hunters  don't use intellect

     

    Here is what you should follow and you will be back on top were a hunter belongs

     

    Stat Priority

    Agility > Expertise (7.5%) = Ranged Hit (7.5%) > Crit > Haste > Mastery

     

     

    Stat Summaries

    Agility Increases all damage dealt and slightly increases critical chance.

    Ranged Hit (7.5%) Hit Rating increases your chance to hit, and at 7.5% Ranged Hit (2550 Rating) your special abilities can no longer miss on bosses. Special abilities getting missed is the easiest way to lose DPS, so be sure to be capped at 7.5%. To check your hit percentage, open your character panel and then check under the Ranged tab for “Hit Chance.” Make sure it is at or slightly above 7.5%.

     

    Expertise (7.5%) The Expertise cap of 7.5% (2550 Rating) will eliminate your attacks from being dodged. To check your expertise, open your character panel and then check for “Expertise.” Make sure it is at exactly 7.5% for your weapon(s).

     

    Crit Increases the chance for your attacks to critically hit for additional damage. Also increases pet Focus generation thanks to Go For The Throat.

     

    Haste Decreases cast time for abilities such as Cobra Shot, causes you to shoot faster, and increases Focus regeneration speeds.

     

    Mastery Mastery Master of Beasts increases the damage done by your pets.

     

     

    Good luck   http://www.noxxic.com/wow
