Bm Hunter aoe way to overpowered

Unbelievable aoe damage, blown away.

Agree, but how is a dk complaining about this?

Agreed Unholy Dk and Bm hunters are in the same park. But I give the edge to BM hunters. Bm hunters with crit corruption will overpower any class aoe with ease.

Unholy is pretty meh until you reach 10ish targets. BM hunter is good all the time.

Unholy, bm, outlaw, demon hunter… hrmmm tank with 30% TD… what else am i missing? Unholy should just shhhh when it comes to other classes AOE. My crap geared Dk can burst aoe insane amounts

BM hunters have good sustained aoe dps, but no real burst. There’s a reason there aren’t many BM in rated pvp.

Actually there’s no BM in PvP because the pet damage is nerfed to garbage levels.

But nah, for me it’s the Murder of Crows. I’d be even more stoked if we got the old stampede Glyph back, I’m glad they left in the horn sound and animation but I’d still like my huntin hounds back :postal_horn::wink:

I’d love to get the OG Stampede back when you could summon 5 spirit beasts and heal to full, or just kill command things to insta-death. Hunters were invincible until they patched that.

These are the classes that can beat me, BM, on aoe in the key ranges that I run.

You cannot make blanket statements like you did.

If huge packs are pulled.
If packs are pulled around people’s cds.
If packs have mechanics that hinder dps. I’m talking to you tol dagor crabs!
If affixes are bad for your spec. 4 melee with quaking anyone?
Do the other dps pot on trash when you refuse to?

All these things and more affect dps output, so just because you lost doesn’t mean that it’s the class that is op because most of what I’ve seen it is the player that fails but is unwilling to accept it.

P.s. you do zero damage if you’re dead. :wink:

BM, unholy, outlaw, havoc, fire, are all S tier specs for AOE. BM doesn’t have burst AOE though like other classes (DH, Fire mage) BM has some of the best SUSTAINED AOE in the game though.

Why is this a bad thing? I mean if I’m in a mythic + with a BM hunter and he’s carrying the AOE DPS i’m more than happy if we are making the timer TBH. Who cares who has the craziest AOE dps. Some classes excel more in certain areas than others. But I’m not understanding the premise of your post…

Both Beast Cleave and Multi-Shot are nerfed to hit only 5 targets in SL. Meanwhile, Unholy has no cap at all on Outbreak, Epidemic, Death and Decay, Scourge Strike cleaving via Death and Decay, or Unholy Blight, and an 8 target cap on Bursting Sores.

Unholy is going to be an absolute AoE god in SL currently. They’re receiving by far the fewest AoE nerfs of any of the melee specs, and even a fair chunk of the ranged are receiving AoE nerfs. But the only thing Unholy got was a slap on the wrist for a portion of their AoE damage.

Run with Purification Protocol if you are doing visions. Get the whole area’s mobs and cast that. Hilarious because half of them die instantly hehe. I never do visions without it. Makes stuff so much faster.

Meh, I prefer Breath for Visions. One-shoting a mob every 5 seconds, and nuking a third to half of a miniboss’s HP in the first 3 seconds, incredibly powerful and fun.

That said, not exactly on-topic for this thread, as far as I can tell.

yeah the pet hits people for like 1700 dmg with its white hits
from what I read geared people have over 400k hp now so yeah pretty easy to ignore a bm hunter and focus his partners

I do just fine in pvp as BM.

Not everyone is the hog with 478 ilvl and stacked corruptions my friend. Pretty sure my dh auto attacking at 460 item level did the same damage as my BM hunter at the same ilvl

As a BM PvPer I resent this.
