Stat Priority
Stat Breakdown
Skill Capped recommends the following stat priority for Marksmanship Hunter PvP:
Agility is your most important stat - it directly impacts ALL of your damage.
Reach the 3% Hit cap and 3% Expertise soft cap first. There is no true Expertise hard cap, but the soft cap is essential.
Critical Strike is the best secondary stat since you want the punchiest damage.
Haste is your next priority, with Mastery being the least valuable stat. Reforge out of Mastery whenever possible.
Best in Slot Gear
Full Tyrannical Gladiator Chain gear is best in slot for Season 13. All pieces come from Conquest Points earned through arena and rated battlegrounds. Get the 5-piece Chain set for the set bonus. Buy the "Proficiency" neckpiece for Expertise cap and one "Accuracy" ring for Hit cap.

Apply these enchants to maximize your Agility and secondary stats.
