Beast Mastery Hunter Best in Slot — WotLK, Phase 4 — ICC & Ruby Sanctum
Ranged DPS · Updated 2026-07-22 Draft — being verified
Phase 4 (Icecrown Citadel 25 Heroic + The Ruby Sanctum) Best in Slot from the Icy Veins WotLK Classic Beast Mastery Hunter gear guide (anchor phase-5-tier-10-best-in-slot). All three hunter specs share one unified BiS list on this page. Tier set: Sanctified Ahn'Kahar Blood Hunter's line. Back is a faction-specific Trial of the Crusader tribute-chest cloak — Icy Veins lists the Horde version (Sylvanas' Cunning); the Alliance equivalent (Vereesa's Dexterity, seen on the warrior/rogue guides) is the counterpart. Hunters carry both a stat-stick melee weapon and their actual ranged weapon. Enchants/gems shared by all three hunter specs.
