You got lucky then. That grand marshal mage should have been able to take you out without a problem, regardless of your weapon. Doesn't matter if he was fire or frost, Mages rarely fall in duels. If they are even beginning to die they just sheep you, bandage, and rock you with a high dmg spell.

I have to say, if a raid leader lets some hunter acctually get the items (which you bring up like some kind of worldwide example of how greedy every single hunter in WoW is) over a rogue in this case, I'd start looking for another guild instead of trashing every hunter in the game and only ending up looking even more greedy in the process.

How is your mindset any different from some idiot hunter bidding on whatever item you're after too that really has not benefit for him in comparison like Vis'Kag or CTS? Because you're plagued with moronic raid leaders that acctually lets said hunter get the items, you go on a crusade to get all the ranged stuff "just because you CAN use it"? How is that doing any good?

Learn to see the difference between a greedy class and idiots that are a part of that class and incompetent raid leaders.

I guess we could bring up Ancient Bone Bow and Mandokir's Sting but that's just fanning the flames. If said hunter is not doing BWL like you seem to be doing, this is about as good as it gets. So in that case, you'd be the greedy one, not the hunter. If you're both in BWL, then they should pass since you're bound to have Domo on farm, and if no it's up to the raid leaders saying "Sorry, you get the bow instead, this one goes to <Player X>". At least that's how we do it, and it's working fine.

And yes, I am a hunter, and I'm sick of ass-hat rogues calling us greedy all the time based on some idiot outrolling them in Scholo for the bow or something.

Uh, if you dont realize how important 1% hit is for a rogue or fury warrior, you should not be talking. Also, as you know strength/agility/stamina are the best stats for rogue/war so to say this is a "hunter only wep" is dumb. Also, in high-end raids there are numerous occasions where rogues used ranged dps instead of melee, and of course numerous occasions where high dmg bow hits are important in pvp. I agree this is a nice hunter weapon, but imo hunters have many options besides this, and not everyone has a epic item quest like you guys do.
