I got bored this weekend, and finally got my hunter to level 80. And jumped right into some heroics. Here’s some proof about how gear isn’t everything – I have crap gear, yet did more dps than the warrior, and not too far below the ret pally. Both of which had quite better gear than I did. The screenshot is from a full heroic DTK run.
It makes me happy when I outdps people in better gear than me :)
