WTF at this patch change....Follow

Hunter's Mark: This ability now becomes stronger each time the target is struck by a ranged attack.


So, correct me if I'm wrong, but... 40-man raid... one Hunter's Mark... does the AP bonus of the Mark increase everytime it's hit by a ranged attack?? Now, it gives no indication of HOW MUCH it goes up but I would assume it's enough to be effective when playing solo, so if it applies to everyone in the raid as well... by the end of the two minutes it must give an insane amount of AP to ranged attackers... just seems like an addition that will either be removed or tweaked with the next patch if you ask me... opinions?

Keep in mind, "ranged attackers" means hunters. And it's so our DPS can keep up on boss fights. It's basically an additional 10% of the base, up to a maximum of 4x your AP.

What I want to know is, does it cap at 4x or 5x? i.e. highest rank does 110 + (11 * Stacks) and can stack up to 440. Is that 110 + 440 or is it 440 (including the 110)?

Also, keep in mind that this only applies to Ranged. Even if you have the Improved Hunter's Mark talent, the melee AP bonus stays at the base amount.

Do Wands, Spells and Curses count as ranged?

I'm sure thrown and guns/bows from any class count but I was wondering if the more magical sorts of damage get ranged bonuses...

Attack power has no effect on spells.

I presume that the Hunter's Mark only increases its bonus when physical ranged attacks are used.

This effect only applies to non-magical ranged damage, and does not allow you to renew the effect. At the end of 2 minutes, the hunter(s) must start over again. It is a significant help, however, especially with 2 or more hunters contributing to getting it up to max and then making use of it.
