BM 45% Behind In AOE?

We need a hotfix! We can’t wait 6 weeks for BM AOE to be fixed!

I’m pretty sure it’s not happening.

It’s better once you get tier.

It’s still not great because of having to set it up but it wasn’t tank level damage in the 6 entire dot in last night.

Buff BM asap!!

BM is so far behind that Blizzard won’t have the balls to buff them by what they need to be buffed by. BM is dead this entire expansion and the upcoming fix makes them even worse.

Except BM seems to be fine on .5 ptr testing?

That isn’t the fix, this coming reset has some tuning that will kill us in ST while leaving our AoE behind. So the ‘fix’ will make us even more useless until the PTR patch.

After the ST nerf coming up for BM on Oct 8th, BM will only be 40% behind in AoE.

So you trade 9% ST for 5% AoE which means BOTH ST and AoE are at the bottom.

Working as intended?

The undeniable fact that this is where BM will set after Oct-9 makes me think they put a mage or warlock player in charge of hunters. This is full troll mode from Blizzard.

I haven’t heard that BM is fine on the PTR, it’s still way behind MM. Go to a 5-target test dummy on a ret paladin for 1 minute, then do the same on a BM, and you’ll see how far behind they really are. Blizzard really haven’t hit the mark with BM. MM is also about 35 more damage than BM on AOE.

One other thing is that the BM talent tree is a complete mess for AOE and Mythic plus steups.

The other big problem BM has is different stat priorities for ST and AoE. You almost need 2 sets of gear.

Ret which you mentioned does not have this problem.

Not really, Haste, Crit and Mastery are very close and can be even in same prio depending on individual gear.
