Hello hunter community,
I am switching mains to BM Hunter and was told by a few people that hunters are not performing well in 8.3.
The things I would like to accomplish before shadowlands are as follows:
+15 Keystone achievement (For mount)
Ahead of the Curve Achievement possibly going for cutting edge
Will I be able to accomplish these things as a BM hunter?
I know player skill is important when accomplishing the above mentioned goals. I just want to make sure that I don’t put all my time and effort into learning something new if I can not accomplish the goals I would like to accomplish.
Hmm not sure why it says my hunter is still 110…
I’m not 100% sure on this, but there’s nothing for hunters to turtle in Ny’alotha. So hunters are automatically bad. 
AotC and +15 can be achieved by any class. That said, BM hunters are currently the best Hunter Spec, and probably won’t change much going into 8.3, so I’d expect it shouldn’t be an issue to achieve your goals
Looking at the most recent set of wowhead notes on 8.3 I see nothing that would indicate that hunters usefulness and dps-output relative to other dps specs will change. The only wildcards are how corruption and the cloak will impact things but they will probably impact all melee dps the same and all range dps the same.
Considering that BM hunter’s are able to get both AOTC and +15 today, they should be able to do this in 8.3. No idea how good or bad a BM Hunter will be in Mythic. If there are a lot of forced-movement mechanics, then it should perform fairly well. Otherwise…
While your skill is important, what is just as important is the skill of every other player in your group. If you want to do 15 keys and Heroic raiding, get in a guild that puts a lot of importance on those things and regularly schedules Mythic key runs and intends to push for AOTC.
