Marksmanship Hunter Best Legendaries in Shadowlands — Dragonflight 10.2.5

Legendary Powers are special effects affixed to items in the Shadowlands (through Runecarving). Most of these effects have benefits that are specific to your spec, and others work for all Hunter specs. On this page, we will go through the best ones for all types of content. Please refer to our Hunter Legendary Powers page and our Runecarving page for more information about these powers.

Patch 9.2 introduces the Unity, which allows you to attach your Covenant-specific Legendary Power to any slot. This "Unity"-legendary automatically changes its power with your Covenant, and most importantly, it allows you to use a second Legendary Power of your choice, in their usual slots.

You should generally use Missive of Mastery/ Missive of Critical Strike for your Legendary crafts.

• Unity - Replace whatever your lowest iLvl is with Unity. Prefer socket slots like Neck and Belt where possible.
• Serpentstalker's Trickery should be crafted on Shoulders.
• Surging Shots should be crafted on Wrists or Neck

We are only concerning ourselves with Legendaries that can potentially increase our DPS. It is not currently worth using any non-DPS Legendary for any PvE content.

You should be using Surging Shots in all situations. It provides a significant damage boost without making your rotation any more complex. It also enhances our already powerful burst and unlocks the use of the Lethal Shots talent which synergizes extremely well with it.

For PURE single-target situations, Serpentstalker's Trickery can be a little bit better than Surging Shots, but this is a pretty rare scenario, and the difference is usually less than 1%.
