BM Hunters Explained

Sorry BM Hunters... Truth Hurts...

BM is the only class who has "Ages 4 and Up" written on the box. Everyone else comes with M for ages 17 and up. You are playing a class made for children who are in the earliest stages of brain development. Don't be upset when they are not taken seriously. You are pretty much the equivalent of a powerwheels Ferrari, Blizzard gave you a class where you can still feel like you are doing alot while smashing 3 buttons. You are a grown boy now. Time to move on.

Yes it's a post about skill cap. BM has the lowest skill cap. That's just a fact. Just speaking to all of the BMs begging to be rebuffed to the earliest BFA stages. What are you even suggesting?

BM isn't good right now... so you playing BM will just make my rating go up. I think you misunderstood.

"Ages 4 and Up"


I mean at this point that class isn't though.

I play both BM and Survival specs and enjoy both despite "BUT THE NERFSSSS" BM crowd.

Play what you enjoy in the end.
Honestly pets are just too much work for me to control and keep track of.
If somehow they could remove the pet aspect of BM but keep it just as easy (maybe all attacks are 50 yrd range and don't require LoS?)
Then I might be able to succeed with BM.

It sucking isn't the same as it having a high skill cap.

As someone currently playing BM, 100% agree... buff marksman.

LOL... BM is one of the worse offenders but 90% of every spec this expansion is down to 2 bars and around 40 keybinds average with targetting in mind. This isn't WOTLK/Cata anymore with 80+ keybinds and multiple spell ranks required on your bars.
Survival is a cooler spec tbh, I hope mm will be better. Only reason why I hate BM hunters is because thier pet did so much auto attack damage, the nerf was fair but they should have reciprocated damage back into KC and Cobra. Also don't give me the "ice traps are hard or my pet dies excuse" making it seem hunter is complex, that is literally a non-issue if you're good at your class.

it's pretty well designed, however the vast majority of hunters rolled hunter because it was a pure ranged pure dps that fit the archer fantasy. Most of us still want that. Many BM hunters would disappear even if it was decent, if marksman wasn't literally a dumpster fire of a spec. Last month one of the best hunters in the world tried it (jellybeans) and went about 0-19.

Have you tried playing BM and actually doing the rotation for optimal dps? It’s actually the hardest rotation to pull off successfully out of all 3 hunter specs, and arguably harder then most other dps classes right now, besides maybe awkward WW and it’s crappy current build.

Things to track:

Barbed Shot Stacks (Frenzy Stacks)
-Must attempt to maintain x3 stacks for as long as possible, only recasting barbed shot with 1 second or less left to maximize the buff uptime. Blizzard UI does not even display this buff, you have to track it with addons or a stopwatch in your head lol. Barbed shot also reduces cooldown on Bestial Wrath, so you actually have to pay attention to when it’s back up.

-Use Beastial Wrath, Aspect of the Wild, A Murder of Crows, Kill Command on cooldown.

-If talented Chimera shot before Kill Command on 2 targets, assuming it won’t overcap energy. Otherwise use after KC on 1 target and energy not full.

-Steady Shot when everything else is down to spend and avoid focus cap. This ability also reduces the cooldown on Kill Command, which you don’t want to accidentally clip and commit a GCD or resources to.

-All of this must be remain flowing while keeping 3 stacks up except the cooldowns on stuff changes, you manage procs (if your lucky) and try to do a rotation that keeps changing based on what your pressing.

Go make a hunter, get to a dummy and try to do decent dps. I’m sure you’ll find it much daunting then LOL DH press Eye Beam, Blade Dance, Chaos Strike repeat.

I don't understand why you would make this post. Most people are playing SV now that it's nerfed. Vast majority want to play MM but can't because it's so bad. BM was made healthier going into BFA and does have a lot more interactive reaction than before, and all of its abilities require los again. It's still not a particularly hard spec to play, but neither is anything else really.
Here’s current MM:

Trueshot
Steady Shot until proc
Aimed shot
1-2 Arcane shot, Repeat

Survival:
Serpent Sting
Wildfire grenade
Kill Command
Spam Mongoose / Raptor, Repeat

If anything those are the 4 button specs
What is the purpose of this post? I don't agree with you, but even if I did what is the point? If people enjoy playing BM, or any spec for that matter, why do you care

In regards to BM "smashing 3 buttons." There are a list of specs that have a very simplistic damage rotation where they just "smash 3 buttons" to deal the majority of their damage. Whom also bring limited utility and are mainly brought for their damage. Except now BM does meh damage.

Pointless post is pointless

All I do is play with 1300 rated players in LFG in 2s and carry them to 1600 and disenchant the gear I get for gold. That's all I do in arena anymore. Go argue with a wall.
