      "Technically" you need to quit being so ill-informed.  Arena x-bow IS NOT the best ranged weapon in the game. Sonic Spear IS NOT the best stat weapon for a hunter.  GGNRKTHX.  It all depends on what SPEC u r.

        Yeah... Out of the three hunters in our guild only one has this bow (and that's not me, seems I'm stuck with my Melmorta's forever as crossbow/gun never dropped either :)). We have 3 Kara raids, and one of our raids saw 3 drops. The second time it went to a rogue and the third one was DE'd. It never dropped for my raid at all though we had 3 Malchazeens in a row once. It was kinda fun when that rogue took out his bow to tease us and I walked to him and took out Malchazeen which he wanted as badly as I want the bow. We had a good laugh over it :)

        Well guess I'll just keep trying and hoping. Drops never seem to be fair, it's just that sometimes they go in your favour, sometimes in favour of others. Out of our 8 Gruul kills up to date we got 6 Hero tokens (3 of which went to the 3 of us) and two Defender tokens, so I'm taking comfort in that though I feel sorry for our rogues/palas/shamans.

            im srry but u must have met some horrible hunters to take a staff..havent seen a hunter with a staff since about lvl 20 anyway sir the same could be said about warriors taking every melee weapon and a fair amount of the ranged weapons aswel, needing it for an off spec or just cuz they "could" use it.
            I will however agree that hunters should not be the only class alowed to roll on this. In the case that the hunter passes or if he and the rest of the raid do not care if you roll on it by all means roll on it get you a nice new pulling weapon.
            But please dont steal this from out from under our nose. And as a side note dont judge an entire class by the actions of a few... they will dig their own ditch in time.

            There is no such thing as a gun, bow, or crossbow for rogues, or warriors specifically. I don't care how much your DPS will increase through this weapon, Hunters should get this bow before anyone else simply because of its base DPS, which is hunter's main source of damage.

            Melee classes don't use their ranged weapons hardly to deal major DPS like hunters, if your a rogue or warrior and you use your ranged weapon more than your melee weapon, you shouldn't be running kara.

            To simplify, if your a melee class and want this bow, suggested you ask every hunter in the raid if he/she needs it, and if NO, and I mean NOOOO hunters need it, then the rogues and warriors can take their crack at rolling, although there are bows with much better bonus stats (which is what melee need in a ranged weapon because of its under use.) so you'd be better off getting an enchanter to dis-enchant it if it comes to that.

              No...the Gyro-Balanced Khorium Destroyer is a tank ranged weapon. It is not a hunter weapon and I LOL at all hunters who wield it. Why make/buy that worthless gun when the s2 xbow is so readily accessible....? S2 Xbow is soooo much better for hunters. So to answer your question, get this bow for PVE and get the S2 Xbow for PVP. This bow doesn't really get replaced until the end of SSC or possibly ZA. If you're a hunter who wants to get into some serious raiding, this bow should be your first target for a ranged weapon.

            So this dropped for me on my first ever kara run. My guild leader was in the raid (also a hunter) and was using an S2 crossbow. I am also a hunter and I pass for him because he said he has downed the boss like 20 times and it had never dropped. So to be fair, since is he is guild leader, I let him have it. He won it cuz no one else rolled, but he rolled a really low number. Oh and my bow is melmorta's. But I think he should of let me roll because his bow is superior compared to mine. I felt I "needed" it more, but anyways, just felt it was a little unfair and I had to vent alittle. =/

Rogues, if there is a hunter in your group that needs this bow, back off and let them have it. Any rogue who need rolls this when a hunter need rolls it should go die.

            Got this today since no hunters wanted.  Actually replaced the Twisted Blades of Zarrack(spl?) from Teron Gorefiend with it.  Prefer the AP over the Crit.  I just don't throw/deadly throw enough in raiding to justify keeping a thrown weapon.  I switch for PvP though.

            Alright... question that's been bothering me...

            WolfSlayer Sniper Rifle (http://thottbot.com/i28581)

            vs

            Sunfury Bow of the Phoenix (http://thottbot.com/i28772)

            All i seem to see on the BM forums for hunters is GO get yourself a Wolfslayer Sniper Rifle!  Its the best gun for BM spec steady shot rotation!

            There's an obvious difference in DPS.  The bow being greater 83.3 vs 79.1  And stats... bow has more agi and AP.  The speed I think is what they're all about.  2.90 vs 2.70

            But honestly, at the very worst, wouldn't these weapons be equal?  losing a certain amount of steady shots being made up by +stats and +solid DPS?  And with lag a factor, wouldn't the 2.90 bow offer you more time to screw up and still get your shot rotation in?

            I ride at about 83 - 130 latency, and currently sport the 3.00 speed gun from Blood Furnace (i'm lvl 64) and my shot rotation is shaky at times with my macro (it has a 3 second clearing time in the macro, recommended by several sites).


            SO why do people right away point at Wolfslayer?  Is it because this is easier to get?  VS clearing to prince?  Pugs on Zul'jin have no problem getting to prince, I did one on my epic'd ret pala and we didn't have a single death until the prince, and we still downed him 1st try.

            Wolfslayer vs Bow of Phoenix  what's the choice for a BM hunter and why?
