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 would definitely go with X-ray Scope for the time being. 800 AP is great as compared to, what is it, 88 haste? Even though statweights (as far as hunters are concerned) are still somewhat under debate, you can never go wrong with that much AP.

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