Simply buff the hell out of survival or MM to compensate for the nerfs to BM.
In raids and pvp, BM has to be the most braindead spec performing at the highest level. (check 95 percentile logs BM is competing for #2 spot). I hope devs nerf the hell out of BM.
On the other hand, I still want hunters to compete for top 1-3 spot in raids but do it as Marks / Survival mix. At 40 and so on, this will also incentivize scatter + trapping and actually kiting in pvp instead of "hey look I put pet on aggressive and popped bestial wrath and it deleted xyz clothie "
Yeah, make other build playable.
When everyone is only playing one build, there is something wrong with game design.
I only played up to bwl both in vanilla and classic, because spaming 2hr shadow bolts made me sick. The same here bm is dead boring with auto shot + multi shot. But a least make other runes working with the builds
Is spamming mangle skill?
Is spamming saber slash skill?
Is spamming fireball and living flame skill?
Is spamming incinerate and chaos bolt skill?
Is spamming crusader strike and divine storm skill?
Is spamming multishot and aimed shot skill?
Is spamming heroic strike and raging blow skill?
Is spamming starsurge, moonfire, sunfire and wrath skill?
Is spamming lava burst and lightning bolt skill?
Please help. I’m curious which of these is skill.
I think this is an unfair representation of how classes work.
If we talk about pvp, almost none of the classes you displayed solely use 1 ability. Druid needs to open cat, bear stun, entangle, self-heal, hibernate pet, and yes … shockingly spam mangle. The same goes for all other classes … except in cases where BM hunter literally puts his pet on you, unless you are a poly/hibernate/fear character, you get hit with a quick 400-500 damage combo.
So in short, I fully support BM getting obliterated while MM being buffed to balance things out.
It sounds like you specifically don’t like a certain class and are constantly moving the goal posts in order to justify the conclusion you want to make. My hunter has a 96 average performance. I have multiple 98-99 parses that you’re saying don’t require any skill. I play 4 different classes in SoD. I have played every class in raids at some point of the last 20 years in vanilla. My hunter is not easier than the others in any significant way. No class is difficult to play.
Have you ever played a pet class? It takes more skill since you have more to manage. You are managing 2 bodies instead of 1.
What? Do players think that Hunters just leave pets on auto? If you do that, you are going to do terrible DPS.
Hunters, due to having to manage ranged abilities, melee weave, and manage their pet, are the most challenging class to play in the game for PvE. No other class comes close in SoD.
You need to manage your pet on Ghamoo-ra, Lady Sarevess, Gelihast, Lorgus, and Aku-mai. If you don’t you’ll waste focus and lose dps, or you’ll end up getting it killed by things like Lorgus’s fireball or lightning totem.
Cap I have a 96-98 avg parse hunter on SOD, I literally have “petattack” bind on all my abilities and spam multi + AS and OCCASIONALLY melee weave. Cracked take if you think people manage pets in raids LOL.
Post on your hunter, lets see your parses then. Here’s mine with 99 and 98s on it. It’s alliance too so I don’t even have the 5% orc racial bonus.
Thanks for proving my point, you don’t parse well on your rogue when all you need to do is spam saber slash and keep slice and dice up, and you surely don’t have a hunter that parses as well as you claim to.
