Holdherhand's October 24 Hunter video explains an Aimed Shot-focused Marksmanship setup. The useful decision is which shot to invest in: the creator favors Aimed Shot with its matching necklace, but switches the priority to Auto Shot when using the Auto Shot necklace.

These notes follow the video's English captions, checked on October 25, 2026. The game build and on-screen menus were not verified. Treat the setup as the creator's example, with equipment and talent prerequisites to compare against your own character.

Azeroth Survivors: Marksmanship Hunter Naxxramas Guide (AIMED SHOT CRIT BUILD) · Holdherhand
Published October 24, 2026. Hunter build discussion and run; build unknown. The analysis here uses the English captions, not independently checked gameplay footage.

The spell priorities in the explanation

At 1:02, Holdherhand names six spells: Auto Shot, Multi-Shot, Arcane Shot, Aimed Shot, Frost Trap and Hunter's Mark. He then describes banning Hunter's Mark, Frost Trap and Arcane Shot so that the remaining level-up choices focus on Auto Shot, Multi-Shot and Aimed Shot.

The captions list six spells before discussing bans, but do not establish a complete acquisition order or explain the ban control. Check that control's wording in your version before treating these notes as step-by-step instructions.

SituationCreator's advice
Aimed Shot-focused setupPut most upgrades into Aimed Shot.
Weak Aimed Shot offerHe gives a gray Aimed Shot offer versus an Auto Shot offer with extra targets as an exception worth considering.
Auto Shot necklace insteadShift the main upgrade priority to Auto Shot.

The exception matters when choosing between actual offers. His explanation leaves room to compare them; it does not give a complete ranking of every upgrade or rarity.

Talents and jewellery to compare

In the opening talent discussion, Holdherhand describes a Marksmanship focus with 11 points in Beast Mastery for survival. The captions do not identify every talent node and rank, so this is not a point-by-point talent template.

From 0:22, he describes an Aimed Shot necklace and an Auto Shot alternative. For rings, he favors cooldown reduction and critical-hit chance. His trinket discussion favors luck and critical damage, with other options mentioned. Exact item names and stat values need a menu check; the captions contain unclear names.

If your character lacks the necklace or talent points described, compare the available setup first. The video does not establish how a fresh Hunter with little permanent progression performs. Keep permanent talents and equipment separate from choices made within a run; our talents and equipment reference and jewellery reference explain those systems separately.

What to take from this example

Use the necklace-dependent priority as the starting point for evaluating the build. With the Aimed Shot version, the creator concentrates upgrades on Aimed Shot and describes an occasional exception for a better Auto Shot offer. With the Auto Shot necklace, his priority changes.

This is one creator's dated explanation, not a comparison proving the strongest Hunter build. His closing damage and kill claims have not been checked against result screens here. The exact game variant, build, full talent allocation and item tooltips remain unverified, so compare this dated setup with the rules and tooltips in your version.
