Marksman

Marksmen shroud themselves in the perils of the untamed wilds, perfecting the use of weapons that are deadliest from great range. They've maintained little interest, however, in gaining the loyalty of the many beasts inhabiting these crude landscapes. Instead, the marksman blends into the surrounding environment, surveying behavior of all manner of predator and gleaning deadly methods for stalking their own prey. A sniper in hiding, the marksman unleashes arrows and bullets with deadly precision, exposing the weakness in whoever—or whatever—passes through their crosshairs.Legion Class Preview Series: Hunter

==In the RPG==
Marksmen are warriors who have embraced firearms as their weapon of choice. Studying the techniques of the dwarves, these soldiers craft their own weapons and hone their aim until they are capable of incredible feats of speed and accuracy. Marksmen learn to trust their instinctive ability with firearms to make incredibly skilled shots.Alliance & Horde Compendium, pg. 33-34
===Epic marksman===
An epic marksman is an experienced marksman. The epic marksman is an ultimate master of firearms. They can shoot an apple's stem at 3,000 paces, fire rifle shots in rapid staccato, and perform selective surgery at range. Those who anger them drop dead in the streets. Ranged combat with firearms is their specialty, so they keep improving it. Increases to speed and mobility can help him avoid melee so they can do what he does best. This grants ability increases to dexterity. If they are determined to put an ability increase elsewhere, they are told to soak their face in ice water until they feel better.Shadows & Light, pg. 20
