1) Are you hit capped? If no, get the hit one.
2) Depends on spec. Haste isn't really a bad pick, though that's all still being debated. I know there's one that adds I think AP or agility.

I believe Gnomish X-Ray Scope is the one to use at the moment. Now would also be a good time to stock up on a handful of those, as most engineers would be making a couple of these while leveling their engineering skill. On my realm I've been able to grab them for under 50g each!

Blizzards intention* is to make scopes more interesting by having them provide procs rather than fixed stats. This is the first scope down that path.

I read the same, Anyia, though I can't recall where. A conversation with GC from Blizzcon perhaps? It was around that time. Right now, I have the haste scope as well, but I'll likely be switching it out for the proc one because I'm a sucker for procs (I giggle when they go off :lol:) and I only do 5mans on my hunter anyway so who cares as long as I perform, right? ;)

Best? I've no idea.

I wish those xray scopes were under 50g on my server. :( They go for 500+.

It's a bargain even at 500g, I'd be losing money on the deal if I made and sold X-ray scopes at 500g... hardened elementium is going for 400-500g a bar, and Dream Emeralds are 80-100g apiece. I always craft for free if someone provides the mats, though!

I did replace the scope with the X Ray one. The proc rate seems to be decent so I'm happy with it!
