Schematic: Biznicks 247x128 Accurascope and the issue with why it is not in the game

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion

Blizzard hear me out here - for those unaware, without this schematic in the game as soon as you get full T1 your best in slot weapon become a blue level 47 2H sword with 3% hit on it - The Warmonger. This schematic is massive for hunter itemization.

T1 has 3% hit on it (for reference T2 only has 2%). This means you need to find another 6% hit from your off pieces/weapons. Band of Accuria - 2%,
Tarnished Elven Band - 1%(Diremaul), Onyxia Tooth Pendant - 1%. This means that with the exception of putting a striker’s mark on a hunter, which also only puts you at 5% hit gained from non tier, and youre still below cap, you cannot reach hit cap in Phase 1-4 content without one of the following happening.

A) You spec 0/31/20, gaining 3% hit from talents, allowing you to drop some of the hit% you gain from non tier pieces for some more raw throughput stats from say, Quickstrike bands. This option is a bad one as you lose more dps from the spec than you will gain from the additional 2%crit and some other minor stat increases from using quickstrikes. Which leads you to being forced into…

B) Use a Warmonger until naxx

C) Ignore getting 8/8 T1 entirely, which would normally be BIS for hunters and have to itemize far more hit on gear - pushing hunter even further behind when compared to their peers once people start getting geared. And even then I dont think you can reach hit cap doing this until AQ40 still.

With the exception of taking the C route. It is possible to not have to do either of A or B come AQ40 if you were to use a Striker’s Mark and a Cloak of Concentrated Hate off of Skeram - but youd still be losing damage over the alternative because youre using a Striker’s mark over the chromag xbow…

Please blizz - dont force hunters into using a level 47 blue as their BIS weapon (shhh feral tanks - wardens staff is insane.) for the next ~2 years. Ive read that the pattern was removed early because it was broken - affecting melee and ranged hit and only reintroduced in the patch 1.10 loot tables where it was nerfed to only affect ranged attacks - and were on patch 1.9 loot tables which explains why it’s not in game ATM, but consider pushing it through for the sake of balance/itemization as it is crucial for hunters to have.

EDIT: It was added in 1.4, removed in 1.6 because it was broken, and then readded in 1.10 nerfed to only affect ranged attacks. AFAIK they dont plan on giving us 1.10 loot tables until phase 5. But I think this schematic specifically should be pushed sooner

Shh, we also use a L40 crafted helm as our BiS dps helm. So yeah, I’ll trade you. :slight_smile:

Or you can farm MCPs for me in Gnomer…

We weren’t sure when DM was going to be released. Still, with full tier, that’s only 5% hit - 4% short. We could stay deep Survival, but that’s a DPS loss - since we should have that scope.

I mean, if the game’s super easy you don’t need to be hit capped.
Right?

Hunters already scale terribly, we don’t need an item that should be in the game (and not even the GMs seem to know) to help us be mysteriously missing.

Welcome to Vanilla WoW, where every class except warriors and priests is broken in some way.

No…? This is an item that was added in 1.4 that is not in Classic.

10

1.4 is analogous to Phase 2.

11

For most content, yes. But not a number of item drops.

12

Item drops and loot tables are being adjusted in line with the phases.
You’ll get your accurascope, but not until a later phase.

You need patience, or to be less entitled.
One of the two.

Well I already rerolled to a better class, so it won’t matter.

14

All this worrying over nothing. Just wait for dire maul and get your elf ring.

15

It was added in 1.4, removed in 1.6 because it was overpowered, then readded in 1.10 nerfed to only affect ranged attacks.

two tarnished elven rings from dire maul is 1% less hit than having one + a band of accuria off rag.

16

Two tarnished elven rings can be farmed in one day, getting a ring of accuria will take some time.

17

I msut have missed the part where all the hunters are getting a full set of MC gear over everyone else and how it’s going to be forced on you.

Who else is going to roll on hunter T1 aside from hunters…? The point of this is that when youre in your best in slot gear from MC all the way up until naxx, you will be forced to use a Warmonger as your weapon unless they push this schematic through earlier. It is a dps loss to drop your 8 set T1/T2 in order to pick up more hit so you dont have to use a warmonger, just as much as its a dps loss to spec into survival instead of being 20/31/0 in order to preserve the 8 set bonus.

Your best in slot still remains full T1/T2 and a warmonger, and thats kinda sad to be forced onto a blue 47 weapon just for the +3 hit because the schematic wont be coming until phase 5.

According to wowhead it was added in phase 1

It has never dropped for anybody across all of the servers so far - were on 1.9 loot tables and the schematic is actually not on 1.9 loot tables, because it was removed in 1.4 and readded in 1.10. Were supposedly not getting the 1.10 loot tables until phase 5 (naxx).
