You're all retarded. Stop looking at the point filler "bonus" and pay attention to the stats. These shoulders are superior to GS in every way. You gain int and sta, and only lose 2 agi, some spirit and 7 shadow resist. That is more than made up for by the 2-piece bonus which can be gained by using Renataki's trinket. That's a net gain of 16 AP, 1 stamina and 6 int over GS.
Actually the +dmg is really nice, in high end instances if you have 80% of mana after each pull you are a freakign n00b that only use auto shot. In a full MC run, i have to drink 25-30 crystal water
All things being equal, it will be the one who tries who will triumph.

Jesus christ how can you enjoy playing a game like that? your GUI is damn ugly and makes me think you're being far too 'professional' about it. I fail to see how any can enjoy playing when they've got that mess in their face.
The stats on the shoulders are decent. It's good for the guild that can run ZG, but lacks the numbers for MC. The +arcane damage ability is worthless. I don't use arcane shot for anything important. For both PvP and PvE boss fights it's far too mana inefficient for the damage it does. It doesn't scale with your weapon, or your armor. Any effect that increases acrane damage is simply wasting a usefull buff. I'd even take + to hit over this, because while + to hit is also kinda worthless (I'm at 8% now), it's less worthless than this.
Daggerwolf that was some good counting but what gear do you have? 187 dmg whit arc? i crited 867 on a molten gaint and whit the arcane sht trinket a guildy crited 1500 on diffrent target, so get this armor and the gem(drops in bwl,first boss) and get the addon /armor switch use gem whit the set, feign death change gear again wonder the crits whit them all on =)
No they are not fake u get them from a quest in Zul´Gurub its apart of the new 5 piece set the arcane thing kinda sux but if u combine them whit the rest of the set your arcane no longer will crit for 400 we are talking dubble=)
total +dmg from set: 41. using the ~43% rule of thumb for instant abilities, ~17dmg is applied to Arcane Shot. (havent completed set yet, will test when I do; due to the nature of our skill, one would hope that the bonus here would be exempt from the "instants get % of total +dmg" concept.)
assuming partial +dmg, total dmg: 200. DPS: 33.3 (40) assuming full, total dmg: 224. DPS: 37.3 (44.8)
not too bad a boost for the main kiting shot that also bypasses armor. add in your local friendly arcane resist debuffer to taste. --- Volley: 80dmg per target, 8 seconds. Total: 640 dmg per target. gets full +dmg, total: 681dmg, or 85.125 per second.
add +15% talent: 777, 97.125/sec/target. (calculated assuming talent only modifies base spell, and excludes the +dmg. note that including the +dmg only adds 0.5/sec/target)

Why does a hunter need increased arcane spells and effect dmg ?? Only our arcane shot gets stronger right ??
If so, this thing is pretty lousy ...
