Just so you all know, this set *used* to be the High Warlord's hunter pvp set. Don't know if you can still buy that set from the pvp vendor but, I have to say this is much preferable. Money's easier to come by than honour I reckon.

your an idiot, this is a good set for people new to PvP or for mid range PvPers to fill in the "holes" in there set.... good job blizzard

This set is not just gold, you need to get honored rep with 5 different factions in order to get the set. I have 1 piece already and working on a second now.

well, this is good news for me since i tried to get honored with as many factions as possible to get heroic keys. yay for more gear.

What boots going to this set?
This boots, peoples says, looking like a part of old arena set (reputation set now) http://thottbot.com/i28975
Any ideas?

for matchin' boots that are of equal quality try these....

Wait a minute. This is a set for ONLY PVP?!

That will suck if it is only for PVP. Wasted a week getting rep for all the different factions.

This post is faded because it has a negative score.

You don't have to be in PVP to use it. It's just considered good for PVP because it has resiliance and a lot of stamina. A hunter in PVP is gonna be getting hit, while in PvE (hopefully) his pet or his tank is the one getting hit.

Doesnt a % of the resilience transfer to your pet?
All other stats do. Maybe resilience aswell.

I have all the set but didnt know it was for PvP only. I have Rift Stalker bracers but Boots do not come in Rift Stalker. Im wanting some of a set(wrist,belt,feet) besides PvP/Arena Vendor gear.
Anyone know the name of a set that can fill the holes?

  no. hunter pets have no resilience and relatively low HP. hence even an uber-geared hunter's pet is extremely easy to kill in pvp. the only reason most hunter pets stay alive as long as they do in pvp is because players rarely bother to attack pets.
  
  I have all the set but didnt know it was for PvP only.
  it is your choice, what you wish to do with the gear. however these blue rep-vendor sets (featuring a little resilience & relatively high stam) are in fact old pvp rewards that have been re-skinned, and they are optimized for pvp rather than for killing dungeon bosses. could you wear them into karazhan? well, maybe, if you're in a guild that allows you to. is it the best gear to begin karazhan with? certainly not. kara starter gear should still consist of loot from high level 5-player dungeons and crafted blues/purples, at the least.
  
  for people who are curious, stalker's chain battlegear used to be known as
  horde: high warlord's pursuit http://thottbot.com/?set=596
  alliance: grand marshal's pursuit http://thottbot.com/?set=595
  
  where did this set's current skin come from? it was recycled from
  beast lord armor http://thottbot.com/?set=650
  the armor set that was originally intended for hunters just beginning karazhan.

    I disagree. This is fine for starting Kara. Do the math -- for DPS, it's almost identical to Beast Lord set, with less INT/MP5, but a lot more STA. The best hunter shot rotation uses very little mana (auto/steady). Take the STA. BL set has the edge for traps, but again, that's not important for Kara.
    
    Can you get better blues from instances pre-kara? Yes, slightly. Is it worth doing? Nope (except for the epic chest from MgT). In the time it takes to collect those instance blues, you could get at least 3 pieces of S2 gear, which would put you WAY ahead of someone going the instance route. This set is so easy to get that the upgrades from other instance blues just aren't worth it anymore. If you can't go right into Kara with this set, get a bit of S2 and you're still much stronger than a hunter with the best possible BC blues from instances, for much less effort.

How much does it cost all up

Each piece shows the vendor cost, just add them up. But looks to be about 105g total.

- I have obtained 2 pieces of the stalker´s set, and i can allready feel a diffrence in battle, im a lvl 70 Dwarf Hunter, and have a resilience rating of 74 due to those two items, so im planning to get Honored with Lower City so i can get the Helm.

- I have discovered a slight error in Thotbotts info however: the Stalker Chain Gauntlets does not requires Honored with Trallmar but instead Honor Hold.

Horde - Thrallmar
Alliance - HH

Sighs - Do I even need to say it?
