Marksmanship Hunter Best in Slot — WotLK, Phase 1 — Naxx, OS & EoE
Phase 1 (Naxxramas, The Obsidian Sanctum & The Eye of Eternity) Best in Slot from Wowhead's WotLK Classic guide (wowhead.com/wotlk/guide/classes/hunter/marksmanship/...-bis-gear-pve-phase-1) — used because Icy Veins has no Phase 1 table for this class. Sources kept as written by the guide (they mix boss drops, emblem purchases and crafted items; wording varies per guide author). Melee One-Hand/Two-Hand are stat-stick options (hunters wield either two 1H or one 2H). Enchants and gems reused from the wotlk/p4 profile for this spec (same stat priorities; some gems are later-phase cuts — use the equivalent lower-tier cut in Phase 1).
