There is a 24 AP enchant on bracers - http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=34002 which is probably more tailored for MM hunters. There are also scopes which you could consider, Such as Stabilised Eternium Scope - http://www.wowhead.com/?item=23766, Bizznick's 247x128 Accurascope - http://www.wowhead.com/?item=18283 and then damage scopes with +12, +10 and +7 damage on them. As a survival hunter i would choose the Eternium but there has been lots of theorycrafting going on which says +12 damage is better, again personal preference.
3. Re: Hunter and enchantments.. .what to choose 26/09/2007 06:11:52 PDT
A very fine list.
For completions sake the Assaul on bracers (which is great value for money) and the various scopes should indeed be added. But hey it's a good overview, it has descriptions and appropriate wohead links rather than Thottbot or Allakhazam, good enough to wind up in my bookmarks :)
Edit: To make it even better you could also consider adding one more blank row after each category (makes them easier to seperate) and the materials for each enchant.

The theorycrafting on that subject has several flaws.. look up the thread.. +28 crit IS better on all end game weapons.

I added the 24 ap bracer enchantment (can't believe I missed that one :-/ ) and I also added the scopes.
Thanks to both Varnis and Tzatziki for pointing those out for me. I did create a bit more space around the title's. And if I'm bored sometime soon I will add the mats for the enchantments (untill then, just follow the links)

Also, on chest i quite like 6mp/5.
sure it doesn't scale with kings or AotV, but in 10 minute fights and longer, it will definitely work out better than 90 mana given from +6 to all stats, and quite frankly /care about gathering extra stamina for PvE- you'll get enough with what gear you take, and 6 agility isn't up to much either.
Within 1 minute and 30 seconds you'll have already generated the same amount of mana from 6mp/5 as you'd get from +6 to all stats.
edit: took out info about bracer mp/5 enchant, since its already in your list :P

Added the 15 agi and 30 int enchantments for 1 handed weapons (thanks to Huniz and Aƫgnor)
Also added the mana prime chest enchantment. Which has amazing low costs in mats: no shards.

For a BM hunter the +12 scope only adds the damage to your Auto Shots, steady remains unaffected. With more crit your pet will have more focus and more Kill Commands, to.

Btw, when comparing the different mats that goes into the enchants.. is it only me or is 6mp5 on the chest great value for money? The mats or next to nothing.
19. Re: Hunter and enchantments.. .what to choose 30/09/2007 09:38:27 PDT
Added mat costs for the leg armour kits. Enchantment-mats will be added later.
Also added some info about how heavy knothide leather is made. It might be cheaper to buy knothide leather or even scraps instead of heavy knothide leather.
