Been siming BM vs other specs for 5 targets over 5 minutes, and most classes are getting around 2 million DPS. However, BM is only siming at 1.1 million DPS.
This puts BM around 45% low in AOE. This is about as undertuned as I’ve ever seen BM. The spec needs massive help.
Beast Cleave must go back to 100% damage, but even that won’t help BM enough. This also goes to show that Blizzard can’t bug-fix an overperforming bleed talent on the beta and then also nerf the spec at the same time. This is why BM is so far behind. Unless Blizzard are willing to buff BM by 45%, it looks as though survival will be the spec to play.
Will Blizzard actually fix BM before season 1 starts? Because this is looking dire!
So that is new for THIS xpac? Last several seasons and xpacs we WERE the full package.
This is absurd we have to pop ALL our cd’s for hero/m+ runs, which in turn means BM hunters will not be invited to m+ groups.
side note I ran a hero with a MM, SV, and BM ( myself, I was the highest ilvl ) the other 2 specs on aoe left me very sad and behind, on the boss while in AOE spec I left them in the dust, the SV kept up to a point, much better then the MM did. So with that in mind do I need to now play a SV hunter? I have meele alts, I love my hunter, been playing ranged for over 15 years… is Blizz telling me time to drop this main?
It was only that way in DF. SL was ST. The only aoe BM had was the night fae covenant ability.
I did some pug heroics last night to test.
I was keeping up with other 583+ players and was close to doubling the tanks damage.
Yiu should be popping your CDs inbetween bosses in mplus no matter what class you’re playing. It just comes down to learning where and when to use them.
BM is a single target spec so it should be weak on trash and strong on bosses.
Both MM and SV are aoe centered specs.
MM and SV will both be strong in mplus so you can stay ranged as MM if you want.
No one is disputing that bm aoe needs some tuning and we still have two tuning passes for the season.
Okay arcane mage ret pally frost mage, fury warrior feral Druid and HDH and no matter how you spin it BM is worse off than all these spec in AoE ST defense, brust damage .mBM bring nothing to a group atm. No damage, no useful utilities. The hero talent is terrible.
What I am saying is the aoe of the beast master spec is underperforming as evidenced by myself, the ops parses, wowhead, wow Europe and everyone but you that tell people to l2play when you don’t even know the class. You are a troll that seeks to derail threads. Unless you can dispute the op, I have no further use for you.
