Big Red Kitty is an amusing World of Warcraft blog focussed on Hunters. BRK recently requested some data on the popularity of Hunter builds, and I am compelled to provide. Damh’s post on BRK asked about the most popular builds for Hunters, as opposed to the most popular talents. My data on the most popular talents for Hunters can be found here.

This next post in my series on mining the World of Warcraft Armory looks at the crafting professions and secondary skills.
Some interesting statistics:
- Mining is the most popular profession, with 36.3% of level 70 characters taking it, followed by Herbalism at 29.9%. Jewelcrafting is the least popular profession with only 8.8% of characters investing in it at level 70.
- The most popular pair of talents is Alchemy and Herbalism, with 17.4% of level 70 characters taking the pair, followed by Blacksmithing and Mining at 13.3%.
- Currently, only 15.8% of level 70 characters have the ability to ride an epic flying mount. 95.8% of level 70 characters have the ability to ride a regular flying mount.
- Most characters don’t invest in cooking. 25.6% of level 70 characters have cooking 300 or better, and only 4.1% of characters have cooking 375. This is somewhat surprising.
- Even fewer characters invest in fishing. Only 13.3% of characters have fishing 300 or better, and 3.3% of characters have fishing 375. This is not surprising.
- Nearly everyone invests in first-aid, and the vast majority (79.7%) of level 70 characters have first-aid 375.

The analysis of the data I collected from the World of Warcraft Armory continues.
Here are some interesting Hunter weapon statistics:
- Valanos’ Longbow is the most popular Hunter ranged weapon with 31.6% of Hunters using it.
- 40.7% of Hunters using a two-handed weapon use the Sonic Spear. This makes the Sonic Spear the most popular two-handed melee weapon for Hunters by a large margin.
- Only 18.7% of Hunters dual-wield.
- Stellaris is the most popular main-hand weapon for dual-wielding Hunters. 15.6% of dual-wielding Hunters use it as their main-hand weapon, 10% use it as their off-hand weapon, and 4.7% equip one in each hand.
- The Ceremonial Warmaul Blood-blade is the most popular off-hand weapon for dual-wielding Hunters. 10.4% of dual-wielding Hunters use it as their off-hand weapon, and 4.7% use it as their main-hand weapon.
As a dual-wielding Hunter, I’m not sure what to make of the fact that only 18.7% of my brethren are doing the same thing.
