100000000 pets mauling you to death with 0 way to actually kill or mitigate it and theyre just casting 12 trillion black arrows for 1 mil health every global like whats even the point on spending 15 dollars a month to play the game if youre just going to get rolled over by a drooling 1 button spec that literally does nothing to win
Nerf the proc rate of dire beast from kill command. Nerf the damage of dire beast, hati, fenryr, and hounds. Buff cober, make black arrow not cleave at all from hunter’s prey. Give dark ranger a choice node against withering fire, then nerf withering fire by 75%+ in pvp. Once you’ve done this, give marks back it’s hunter damage multipliers in the dark ranger tree in the place of bell tolls or the choice node against hounds.
With these changes, you more or less put marks back where it was before the patch, and you’ve removed the possibility for oneshots in trueshot via withering fire. At the same time, you’ve cut the most toxic part of BM’s damage out (black arrow cleave and the passive part of pet damage). This keeps ranged hunter competitive, while driving focus back into the healthier of the two ranged hunter specs, using a model that can be tuned as time goes on instead of a gimmick that either oneshots or doesn’t based on whether you got procs at the right time.
