WoW Forever Beast Mastery Hunter BiS at level 60
Summary
This is the site’s suggestion for Beast Mastery Hunter at level 60, not an official list: we use our Beast Mastery stat weights to score every item a Hunter can use with a required level of 60 or lower, and pick the best one for each slot. The beta does not reach this level yet (the current cap is 30): it is a forecast, and items and their sources may change.
Stat priority of the list, per point: Agility > Mana per 5 sec > Ranged Attack Power = Attack Power. Percentage stats count too, per 1%: hit and critical strike. On weapons, ranged weapon DPS matters most.

More on Beast Mastery Hunter
Reasoning: The ranged weapon comes first: each point of bow, gun or crossbow DPS is worth about 14 ranged AP, and slow weapons fit Aimed Shot and Multi-Shot better without clipping auto shot. 1 agility = 2 ranged AP + crit + armour; 1% crit ≈ 24 AP. Intellect fuels Arcane Shot and aspects. The melee weapon is mostly a stat stick, so its DPS weighs very little: the best two-hander is compared with the best one-hand pair.
Heads up: the beta is capped at level 30 and the weights are indicative, tuned for level 60 with no simulations behind them. Sources come from the WoWSims Forever database and, for items that already existed in Classic, from the Classic 1.12 database (CMaNGOS Classic-DB, marked "Classic data": they may change in Forever); an item without a source may not be obtainable yet. Set bonuses and procs are not scored. Everything will change with each build.
Treat these lists as a starting point: your talents, enchants and play style may make another piece the better pick.
