This spec is an abomination that needs fixed. A spec should not be be able to do as much damage as this spec from the safety of range and the ease of use that BM has. It completely outshines the other hunter specs and it isn’t even close.
It’s time to take BM down a notch so that the hunter class can have different playstyles.
MM - ranged burst.
Surv - Best sustained pressure, since it gives up the safety of range.
BM - Safe sustained pressure, lower then surv’s due to the safety net of range.
When I fight bm hunters I don’t even bother chasing them lmao, it’s way more feasible to hit survival/mm because they are either in melee range/or have to stand still to do damage. If cov played bm I would legit never be able to touch him ever.
The base issue of being able to safely deals damage from afar comes from pets doing majority of damage.
If pets (for BM only) were slightly weaker, it could offer the alternative of bursting the pets instead of defending/kiting/trying to reach the hunter.
Also thematically, I see SV having a special bond with his pet and being veteran/sturdy/etc. (Rexxar/Misha) while BM pets feels more like disposable/spammable tools (so weaker version)
