A shame they did not continue the '...stalker' theme for hunter tier set names.

Commento di Longtooth

I would like to ask if this is "Lightning-charged" then what is T5 ?
It has lightnings at least this has Murloc bones

In addition In Borean Tundra quest there is a nice preview on the set:
Travestimento di Ricambio del Re Mrgl-Mrgl

Commento di 324747

looks better on a female night elf than the human model imo.

Commento di 365082

Just so you guys stop freaking out. The current view in 3D model is a placeholder, the set doesn't even match, which means that it isn't tier. All tier sets have matched, and they aren't going to change that

Commento di 698369

lol just check out the 3d model of Goblin (male) with Lightning-Charged Battlegear-like a real murloc :D ;D :D :D

Commento di 95489

I like it!

I just wish they would fall for peer pressure and call it what it is. It's a Mmmrrrggglllrr Stalker set!

Commento di 689876

i cant not wait to tell my guild master about this he hates murloc's to bits so should be fun to wach him in this

Commento di 235468

Sadly, the helmet doesn't have a Use: Murloc sound effect like the Headless Horseman's helmet does. :(

Commento di Codyre

Really? What is supposed to be bad-ass or intimidating about dressing up like a fanged fish-man? I thought Cataclysm had an apocalyptic theme not an underwater one...wait...didn't I hear something about an underwater area? Maybe hunters will be the only ones who look like they belong there.

Commento di linkhyrule

This set looks pretty good on Trolls, Undead, and Goblins. Hunters finally get a set better looking then T10 and ppl still QQ.

Commento di jboy8847

This set looks decent, but kinda lacking in the name department. C'mon, Blizz I know you can do better than that. *hoping the name is a placeholder* First thing I thought of when I saw this was "Tidehunter." . Sounds pretty badass to me.

Commento di Nekrotik

Stupidest looking gear I have ever seen. If the many other insults to hunters contained in Cataclysm didn't already make you want to quit playing yours, this should be the final straw.

Commento di NeoArkbird

Alright, this is a disgrace. If this is seriously what hunters are going to look like, I'm going for this Caccia del Gladiatore

I will not stand this! No way. No-uh.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##MasterOfDisguise##DELIM##

Commento di IAmNotaRobot

I for one love murlocks so it looks like Im gonna start gearing up my hunter xD

Commento di 659674

If you're an orc, you will feel like playing a murloc nightcrawler!

Commento di 711327

yea man what the hell I will look like aqua man -_-

Commento di Omarion1

Hide helm ftw!
I've seen the preview and it doesn't seem this bad, tho still not so "huntery" as I'd like. The worst thing is this dead fish head standing between our shoulders.
T8 and T9 are still un matched and beautifulness and design.
I quite envy gnomes.

Commento di 543972

They Finally did something with all the murloc corpse that built up over the years.

Commento di Cakeman100

my first thought: murloc? what realm did i put my hunter in..?

Commento di 348969

I love the Murloc theme, particularly the helmet. It will look GREAT on Goblins.

Commento di RoboNoob

Hate it on my Night Elf.

Commento di trofkahr

yeah - this looks ass-tastic...

Commento di CaptainAsian

put this on a gnome and it looks like a murloc...

Commento di 523589

Awesome stats!

Commento di DeadBoyParis

i'm so sick of hunter tiers looking like puss.
so laaaame.

Commento di themguyman

just have to say WORST SET EVER

Commento di 446469

Surprisingly the helm looks good on a Tauren. Its so long it looks right on the protruding tauren head.

Commento di 357056

Good looks, but catastrofic set-bonuses! Blah!

Commento di 396878

Is it just me or are these set bonuses really underwhelming?

5% more crit chance on serpent sting, when it isn't even that big a portion of our dps seems unfair when other dps get 5%/10% more damage/crit/faster cast on their core abilities.

5% more haste seems alright. 10% chance to get half of chimera shot's cost back, on average that's 25 focus every 100 seconds, so 0.25 focus per second. Meh. Not only that, we'll get bonus focus randomly, messing up anyone's rotation. As for black arrow initial damage, I have no idea because I don't play survival, but that seems a bit weak as well.

*unimpressed hunter face*

Commento di apolojulius

We use valor points to purchase them? 4,000 is cap?

Commento di 495389

So this is where the Forsaken get their

Commento di 307113

to tellu guys the truth...i think it looks more like a naga.
or is that just me?

Commento di 501817

Am i the only one who think this Tier is ugly as @#?

Commento di 762802

ugliest tier set ever

Commento di Blights

Great, now I totally want an "Aspect of the Murloc"

Commento di Jakeofb1adez44

The PvE hunter 4-piece set bonus has been redesigned. It now reduces the cast time of Steady Shot and Cobra Shot by .2 seconds.

Directly from the 4.0.6 PTR Patch notes. Never did any testing for the direct damage added to Black Arrow, but this seems it'll eliminate A LOT of a hunters need for haste. At 6% (9% through talents) I have 1.66 sec Cobra shots, meaning I would be .4 under the GCD there, making a little of my haste useless. So, this means more crit for us hunters, or mastery if you don't stack it.

Commento di hascat

If you're trying to figure out what slot to stick an off-set piece in, this can help. I pulled those stat weights out of femaledwarf.com using my current mix of 346/359 gear - feel free to ignore them. There are only three pieces of 359 gear for the 5 tier slots which feature both crit and mastery, one of which is the tier helm:

Proto-Handler's Gauntlets
Lightning-Charged Headguard
Spaulders of the Scarred Lady

The Proto-Handler's Gauntlets are the easiest off-set piece to get, and might be the best choice, since the tier shoulders also provide a nice pile of hit.

Commento di Godisgrisen

Dragon-Stalker or Murloc-Stalker. That's the question. They are almost the same theme.

Commento di 346571

What a steaming pile of crap. Agreed ^ ,,,if you're gonna make a tier set that looks this stupid, it should at least be funny...Murloc Stalker ftw!

Commento di Zanaski

I AM MURLOC!

Commento di 446469

It looks like this set was made for Tauren. Check it out on the Tauren model, the helmet actually looks cool on a tauren's head (First time I've ever seen a helmet look good on a Tauren).

Commento di Bozanimal

There is only one question that matters, and it isn't whether you think the set is pretty or not, because all i359/i372 mail +Agility gear is designed to match this set. So slap that dead Murloc on your head and get to pew pewing!

What does matter is whether the set bonuses offset the supposedly higher stats of their off-set equivalents.

So is/are the set bonus(es) worth it?
Yes to both, though how much you benefit will depend heavily on your spec. The four-piece bonus is significantly better than the two-piece bonus. Both bonuses are good for all hunters, however, if you've got multiple off-set gear drops certain specs will lose less by using off-set pieces. Marksmanship hunters have the least to lose using off-set gear, and will likely do similar damage regardless of whether their armor is composed partially or entirely of set pieces in a typical raid encounter. Your best bet it to model the difference of your gear using a resource like Zeherah's Hunter DPS Spreadsheet.

Two-Piece Set Bonus - Item - Hunter T11 2P Bonus

Survival - Survival gets by far the most out of the bonus due to increased Serpent Sting damage from Improved Serpent Sting and Serpent Spread in AoE situations, though its benefit is comparable to the other specs in stand-still fights.
Beast Mastery - DPS increase is comparable to Survival in stand-still fights
Marksmanship - Ditto

Two-Piece Set Bonus - The following is the increase in DPS over equivalent iLevel off-set gear, meaning Lightning-Charged Legguards would be swapped out for Arrowsinger Legguards for purposes of testing. There are significant drawbacks to this type of testing, but it should provide reasonable guidance towards gearing decisions. Some additional model details are given below, but the spreadsheet is frankly too complicated for me to detail every aspect of my assumptions here:*

Beast Mastery - 0.5% over baseline
Marksmanship - 0.5% over baseline
Survival - 0.5% over baseline

Four-Piece Set Bonus - Item - Hunter T11 4P Bonus
This bonus is interesting because it will impact your optimal shot rotation and your various haste plateaus (see links, below).

Survival - Guarantees you will get three and sometimes four Cobra Shots off between your Explosive Shots, allowing you to be even more awesome, particularly on fights with many adds and trash.
Marksmanship - Reducing the cast time of Steady Shot allows you to more effectively maintain Improved Steady Shot, and makes it less likely you will need to cast-cancel for the movement requirements of a given encounter (since you spend less time casting). This is, therefore, hugely beneficial.
Beast Mastery - Since BM nees to cast Cobra Shot the least due to its higher natural haste regeneration rate, it benefits the least from the four-piece bonus. It's still good, just not as good as it is for its archery and trapping colleagues.

Four-Piece Set Bonus - Spreadsheet (see note on two-piece bonus, above)*

Beast Mastery - 3.3% over baseline
Marksmanship - 2.7% over baseline
Survival - 3.5% over baseline

So which piece(s) should I use for my off-set piece?
In general: It doesn't matter! All the set and off-set pieces are extremely close in itemization, and you should just take whatever drops first as your off-set piece. All of the base stats - Agility and Stamina - are about the same, and secondary stats matter less than ever due to reforging. It is quite difficult to be poorly itemized at this point in the expansion so long as you are wearing +Agility Mail as a Hunter, and gemming and enchanting properly.

What was that about Haste Plateaus?
You can read more about Haste Plateaus and how they affect shot rotations for your spec here:

*Partial List of Spreadsheet Assumptions:

Entirely i359 Gear
Eight Minute Fight
Mastery Reforged to +Hit to Cap (additional reforging will yield incremental benefits)
Most 25-Man Buffs/Debuffs
Dwarf Racial - PvP Gun (Hey, I wasn't going to run all this twice!)
Mining/Engineering
Hand and Leg Slots Used for Off-Set For Two-Piece Calc.
Delicate Inferno Ruby Default Gem

Commento di 761154

Meh, I dislike the helm. Everything else is perfectly fine, but the decapitated murlock helm makes it look like hunters are wearing their dinner scraps. :/
But I'm not one to talk because I never earned a raid tier set yet. :P

Commento di 150475

Hurray for being murloc mascots.

Commento di Eyecandy

Were can I farm this set from?

Commento di 929812

Thank god they added transmogrification...

Commento di Tamerleyn

I don't understand why you are complaining ;d I don't have this set yet (damn level 81 :/ ) but I personally like that murloc helmet looking at screenshots, looks totally different than other models :D quite outstanding

Commento di Eillesthis

See Lightning-Charged Battlegear and Lightning-Charged Battlegear (Lookalike) for matching items. They're from The Bastion of Twilight/Blackwing Descent/Throne of the Four Winds.
