Hunter PvE best in slot at level 20

Hunter PvE questions
What is the best weapon for a level 20 Hunter PvE in WoW Forever?
Impaling Harpoon. The top pick comes from Captain Greenskin, The Deadmines (27.8% in Classic).
Which stats matter most for a level 20 Hunter PvE?
The bow or the gun first, then Agility for the ranged attack power and the critical strike it carries. Intellect counts just as much, point for point, because Careful Aim 5/5 turns all of it into attack power. Stamina and Strength count for nothing.
What talents does a Hunter PvE use at level 20?
Marksmanship dungeon, 0/11/0 at level 20: Lethal Attacks 5/5, Careful Aim 5/5, Improved Arcane Shot 1/5.
How much health does a level 20 Hunter have in this gear?
A Night Elf Hunter has 697 health and 785 armor with 801 mana; a Orc Hunter has 637 health and 755 armor with 666 mana. That is Classic's level 20 base stats plus the selected gear, including random suffixes, with no enchants, buffs or talents.
Rankings within a slot are best first for level 20. Random-suffix items use the named variant's stats and link to the underlying item; check the full name when buying. Quest levels marked "in Classic" come from Classic's data, and Forever may have moved them. Drop chances are Classic's.
