TBC Classic Marksmanship (MM) Hunter Aldor or Scryer

We recommend going Aldor as a Marksmanship Hunter in TBC Classic but the difference is very small. The Aldor shoulder enchant,
Greater Inscription of Vengeance
, is about equal to the Scryer
Greater Inscription of the Blade
. The
Vindicator's Brand
can be a useful weapon for early gearing, but it will quickly be replaced by fist weapons.
