Marksmanship Hunter DPS Sepulcher of the First Ones Raid Guide — Dragonflight 10.2.5

On this page, you will find Marksmanship Hunter specific information to deal with each boss in the Sepulcher of the First Ones raid.

This page assumes that you already understand most of the mechanics of each encounter. These can be found on the full raid guide, so what is contained here are details specifically tailored toward Marksmanship Hunter and what you can do to deal with each fight as best as possible. This is also based on having access to the 4PC Tier Set Bonus.

All recommendations are progression-based tips and will not necessarily be the best for an overall DPS ranking.

Unless it is otherwise noted, we recommend the Dreamweaver Soulbind.

During the Dragonflight Pre-Patch, Castle Nathria, Sanctum of Domination, and Sepulcher of the First Ones will be simultaneously featured as Fated Raids.
