leveling hunter: agility or hit chance

[LavCat]

hi all,

I am playing a worgen hunter marksman for a while. He's 42 atm. I'm having a few doubts about gear that falls into my lap while questing.
I had a drop last night which gives me a +3 agility boost compared to what I am wearing. Downside is I lose a +6 to hit rating.

Is the +3 agility worth giving up 6 hit rating?

I'm not experienced enough to know which stat is more important. I don't have a lot of time to play these days, so it's questing ans exploring the scenery for the worgen. I'm not going for PvP or dungeons until I have more time.

oh and by the way: Lupinio (my worgen) is a poor bloke. Going to the AH to look for specific gear items is not his style. He just can't afford it. I don't want to waste the time I have to play on farming. He has skinning leatherworking for professions and basically levels both by killing and skinning whatever shows itself on the road to quests.

Check your miss chance in your character sheet to see whether you need the +hit or not. If you are hit capped against mobs of the level you are fighting, extra +hit does nothing for you. My guess though is that you probably are not hit capped and could use the +hit.
