Tier Sets
Midnight Season 1 Tier Set Bonuses:
- (2) Set Bonus: Precise Shots damage increased by an additional 20%.
- (4) Set Bonus: Spending Precise Shots has a small chance to release a volley of arrows at your target, dealing damage to nearby enemies.
Tier Set Discussion:
Incredibly underwhelming Tier Set, playing into buffing our filler abilities a bit more. The 4 Set Bonus is essentially useless since it does very little damage.

Trinkets
Marksmanship Hunter is highly focussing on dealing their damage inside Trueshot, therefore it is always best to use an on-use Trinket to sync up with your Cooldown.
The best combination of Trinkets is Algeth'ar Puzzle Box from Algeth’ar Academy and Umbral Plume from Belo’ren in the March on Quel’Danas.
Recommended Active Trinkets:
- Algeth'ar Puzzle Box - 2 minute on-use Mastery Trinket
- Emberwing Feather - 2 minute on-use Haste Trinket
Recommended Passive Trinkets:
- Umbral Plume - Semi passive Crit Trinket on a 1 minute cooldown. This automatically syncs up with Trueshot.
- Vessel of Tortured Souls - Passive stacking Primary stat Trinket. This is mostly competitive on longer fights, that allow you to stack it up. Keep in mind that you need to pick up the Orbs spawned from the Trinket in order to get the buff!
- Gaze of the Alnseer - Passive Primary stat proc Trinket.
Embellishments
We want two pieces of gear with the Arcanoweave Lining Embellishment, which grants a Primary Stat proc. In addition it also grants a lower amount of Primary Stat to a nearby Ally.
The best slots for our crafted pieces are Wrists and Back, due to their lower stat budget and bad alternatives.
The stats we want to apply to our crafted gear are Critical Strike and Mastery.
Note: If you do not have access to a Mythic Quality Weapon from the Raid, you could alternatively craft a Weapon instead. This consumes the same amount of Sparks as 2 non weapon crafted pieces, and is not recommended!
