Total of 229 ntr res unbuffed for aq40.

Non listed slots are just BiS or w/e you can get to fill it to provide damage and somehow retain at least 8% hit. And no I don't feel like linking all the items for you in this post or on the spreadsheet; do a little work at least.

bonus 20 NR from ZG chants and 15 on the back.

[Eyeful]

Yeah I left out some chants, like the AD 5 res one and stuff. Though I'd think you want to keep the zg head/leg for the hit as a hunter, not sure about other classes. Also the 15 to cloak is from AQ release, pricey for the 15, but I guess that could mean you could swap out a badly itemized piece for it.

I also vaguely remember the cap for hunters. I kept hearing around 250 unbuffed, which with some of the enchants is doable, but hunters weren't really the main soakers, and really had to retain that 9% hit for tranqs. Anywise yeah, was just making a list of gear for hunts to investigate, rather than a full blown guide.

[Gazpy]

well 2 ppl are enough for tranqing the main is the soaking part not all hunters have to soak, anyways 4 hunters combined can't miss 2 tranq rotation + Bramblewood will get released with AQ anyways. and it's not pricy, noone will let you ZG 1%hit chant NR legs/head that's just plain waste.

[Eyeful]

It's not just 1% hit, but as I said and you too, hunters aren't the main soakers. You'd drop 2% hit, 48ap, and 20stm for 20 ntr? Imo, I don't feel it's worth the gimp for it since cap is 315 buffed.

The list I said alone gives 229 unbuffed, and that's before the basic enchants. You also have another 60 from aotw (now at 289), 27 from motw (now 316) , but generally left out of the NR totems (another 60). If you really want to drop the 2 zg chants for hit/dmg/hp for another 20, be my guest, but I don't feel it's going to aid the fight. You could probably drop 1 lesser NR piece of gear (I would drop the staff for DW) after enchanting, since anything above 315 buffed is not really used.

[Gazpy]

nature resistance buffs do not stack, the maximum you are able to recieve is 60 from buffs.

[Eyeful]

Are you from feenix, by chance? I've heard players from there saying that aotw didn't stack with mark, yet was only server specific bug.

[Gazpy]

please do not associate me with that piece of crap, on RETAIL you were not ABLE to STACK MotW and TOTEM/ASPECT OF THE WILD.

[Eyeful]

No need for caps, if you wanted to be treated with any decency. It was a simple question about the info you are telling me, since a large portion of the population here is from that server.

2006 Huhuran kill say otherwise on motw/aotw stacking. At the 0:56 mark, and beyond, a lot of the members are using motw+aotw in their buffs.

I've also read other posts, regarding stacking buffs, but neither of them talked about group buffing for or against the case of. From what I can get, you can stack the buffs on your character, but no info is telling me if they actually gave you the stats.

Otherwise null till a dev wants to clarify or clear the issue for how it will interact here.

Thats a total of 293 NR without enchants or buffs . Ill do a count later with all the enchants and buffs you can get . Ofc this is way over what you need .

I would also recommend hunters to be soakers with since minimum 2 hunters will be close to boss for tranq and usualy being lower on DMG compared to warlocks and mages , having the pets in there with max NR aswell .

As for 9% hit . Warmonger and Bow will be 6% right away , just need 3% more from items . So you could get ZG enchants on Head and Leggs , and then have 1 % from a ring and you are good to go with huge NR still from rest of items

Ill post up a list later in my hunter guide
