Beast Mastery Hunter Best in Slot — Classic, Pre-Raid
Pre-Raid gearing (dungeons, quests, world drops, professions) before Molten Core. Best in Slot from the Icy Veins WoW Classic Era Hunter Dps gear guide. Rings/Trinkets: the source lists 2-4 ranked options in one row (you equip two) — split here into two named slots, top pick in slot 1; combined source text kept for both. Classic Era predates gem sockets entirely (introduced in Cataclysm) — no gems section applies.
