100% agree on the legendary, it’s just annoying to use. With us having to watch our barbed shot stacks like it’s a toddler getting too close to the knife drawer in the kitchen, it just completely butchers our GCD rotation and if you are ADD like I am, is very easy to mess up. I went with Rylak’s despite the massive dps loss because it’s more manageable. I will get Dire Command as my next one and see how that goes. I could actually see Dire Command and Rylak’s becoming super beefy if they would fix the dmg scaling bug when you use animal companion (it nerfs the dmg on things it’s not supposed to, not just what it’s supposed to).

wait animal companion gimps murder of crows???
It gimps ANY summoned pets, murder of crows count as a “pet” so does the cobra we summon from Spitting Cobra talent.

I agree but I would also like to see our pets do actual damage. We play the beast master spec cause we like having crazy pets eat our targets. Its disappointing to see that our cobra shots and auto shots out damage our pets. Please buff pet damage and rework some of our useless talents. Trailblazer should be baseline and if you have the soulforge ember legenday, just make the tar trap burn for the damage and lose the flair. It really is the worst legendary in the game.

Make the following changes:
- Buff Kill Command
- Pet rez back to 2 seconds
- Buff Fangs legendary to have similar damage profile to Soulforge Embers something that scales as we get more gear and would make BM a viable spec for raid and M+

It does do similar damage in practice. All my parses last night were orange or pink with Rylak’s.
Their raid standing seems fine now. Their m+ however is poor. We need uncapped beast cleave. Also our talents are so boring/stagnant
Once gear level gets above 200 and you have enough haste and crit aoe damage ramps up nice.
I think people are actually referring to warcraftlogs. BM is low on most fights, and it’s very near the bottom on quite a few fights too - even those with heaving movement.
I’m actually thinking about switching to MM this weekend.
Unfortunately, I already crafted my 210 Legendary. I was under the impression that the specs would be relatively balanced (mainly from looking at sims ironically), so crafted it before I should have. I’m not spending any more Soul Ash until I feel relatively comfortable that I won’t waste it again - probably a week before 9.1.
TBH, besides just being terribly boring…
I want a single target buff of about 15%
Rework the legendarys
Increase beast cleave target cap or allow kill command to cleave like demo locks demon bite during beast cleave.
For legendary rework;
Bring back explosive trap
Add hati’s lightning aura back from multishot/beast cleave
Add one that has a chance on auto shot to summon a snake trap that empowers your auto shots/multi shot to afflict serpents sting to the target and the little snakes add a small stacking debuff/dot, like a small % damage increase, healing reduction and movement speed.
Beastial wrath leg that while beastial wrath is up both pets do 100% damage (instead of 65%/65% currently) and kill command hits all targets or something.
Literally anything but what we have now. its so boring…

I think most people are following the guide that set them up for mythic+ then wondering why they do so poor in raids.
Seeing equivalently geared dps push 2-3k more dps in higher keys feels so bad. Hope blizz takes this seriously.

im considering shelving BM for now because the legendaries are so boring
I did… I’m not wasting my soul ash… I’m working on my Shadow priest and my dk.
I will pick up my bm after it’s patched

Everything about managing SFE is awful. The tar trap travel time, the target cap, the awful macro you need to make, and then it’s all useless if the tank moves 10 yards to the right.

here i am with the world’s tiniest violin
beastmaster’s had it good for a while now, and now it’s been brought down to languish with survival
(⌐■_■)–︻╦╤─ ʕ•ᴥ├┬┴┬┴ Minor tweaks to our legendaries all we ask!this is a really really great post,
but I think blizzard, or rather whomever at blizzard is holding sway right now, is dead set BM being “meh” this expansion … and likely, that’s just the way it is
