Blizz, you keep screwing BMs. BMs are being passed on Mythic+ dungeons like we’re rejected/unwanted waste. I constantly see that it’s either MM or… Believe it or not! Survival! What in the hell did BM hunters do to you, Blizz? I pull the DPS numbers and top the charts, yet I get punished for assumptions.
I’m seriously getting tired of being screwed over. You might as well put a metal rod where the sun doesn’t shine and roast us. Even in PVP and raids, BMs are having issues getting into groups because no one wants them, unless they desperately need Primal Rage (hero).
My bad, my brain was on another discussion. BMs are doing, ok. I think they’ve turned into more of a B class on the DPS charts. They can still pull the numbers, but it takes someone who knows the class to get them up there. The other issue is the 4 set. Just like last season, BM hunters don’t do well UNTIL they have their complete 4 set. lol
After reading the forums, I found out that there are pet bugs. I didn’t know about that till I read about it today.
I’ve watched BM hunter’s DPS, and it’s not doing well. I can beat my counter BM PL Hunter’s, but that’s because I have to be on top of my rotation constantly.
Even while perfectly aligning Bloodshed, Barbed Shot, Multi-Shot, Kill Command, Barbed Shot, Bestial Wrath, Kill Command, etc., my focus is an issue even with 40% haste.
Other classes say that the Hunter’s rotation is simple, but that isn’t true, especially when focus becomes a major hurdle. No focus bashes a hunter’s DPS hardcore.
I’ve looked at other BM PL hunters’ DPS, and they’re lucky to get 3.5 to 4 mil in mythic+ dungeons in DPS overall.
Woodsy, I can see you’re playing a BM DR. You should be agitated because they’re nerfed. I can maintain a 5mil+ overall in Mythic+ dungeons on the DPS charts, but it isn’t easy. How is BM DR, Woodsy?
As 14 survival world from season 4 of DF I just want to say your surprise doesn’t makes sense since i’m not passed in overall by a BM or MM since the expansion release except for one single time :d but okay, you must be the youtuber tier list guy
4p isn’t that massive for dmg (think it’s about 8%, which isn’t terrible, but nothing that insane) and even while being very cozy and running cleave no ms build the damage seems fine.
BM is fine. What has changed is that it has become much more difficult to reach its DPS potential.
If you do not make sure that your Barbed Shots are on as many targets as possible, your DPS will suffer horribly. Bleeds proc Dire Beasts, and Dire Beasts proc with Beast Cleave, massively increasing AOE DPS. If you have Lacerate, Bloodshed, and Barbed on one target, and Barbed on two more targets, you have 40% higher chance of proccing Dire Beasts. That’s gigantic.
And not nearly as easy as our previous behavior.
The difficulty will lead to fewer BM players maximizing the spec, leading to lower DPS in the aggregate. In turn, this gives the impression of lower DPS for the class, which impacts community perception. Community perception is the #1 factor in getting invited to M+ PUGs.
I did 1 key with MS build, i think it did a bit more overall but was a lot more annoying, so i just went back to no ms build.
4P is nice, but wouldn’t be that big in most of my dungeons. (About 5-6% of overall, which is nice ofc, but not that insanely groundbreaking)
