Hunter: best in slot at level 30
Beast Mastery · Marksmanship · Survival
The best gear a level 30 Hunter can wear in Forever, for every spec, with two alternatives for each slot and where to get every piece: the boss, the quest and who gives it, the rare, the vendor or the profession.
How the lists are made: only gear a Hunter can wear at level 30, and only pieces we can say where to find. Each piece is scored by the spec's stat priority. Stats come from the game's own data, so the lists change as the beta does. Places marked "in Classic" come from Classic's data, and Forever may have moved them.
Beast Mastery
Stat priority: Hit > Agility > Critical strike > Intellect > Stamina
Use a two-hander, or a main hand and an off hand: whichever adds up to more for you.
