Hoping someone here can help me out in choosing my specialization in LW.

Having looked at the items, it seem that a LOT of the elemental gear has massive AGI bonuses (which i understand is good for hunters)

however, everyone i talk to seems to say that Dragonscale is the way to go for hunters.  Can someone give a difinitive answer and a reason why to go for one or the other

Thanks in advance for all your help,.

Assuming you are a hunter, dragon scale is the way to go.  Few hunters go elemental.  There are several bind on pick up items you will be able to make and utilize as a hunter throughout the 50s and 60s.  The 375 dragonscale gear is super legit them too for an end-game hunter!  Hope this helped.

To break it down rather simply-

Elemental- Rogues/ Feral druids

Tribal- caster druids

Dragonscale- Hunters, Elemental spec Shamans, Enhancement spec shamans.

Elemental and tribal will only make leather armor.
Dragonscale will only make mail armor.

hope this helps.

the reason dragon scale is because mail and intel, its true agility is good for hunters but the power comes from mana based attacked so the more mana you have the better hunter you will be

if you pvp make sure you marks and just explode your mana amount so it takes a while to run out of mana so kiting people is a possibility once a hunter runs out of mana just like any magic class taking them down is cake especially us Rogues ;D
