Is it too late to run the numbers again? Not looking good at all for ppl trying to progress tomorrow night. It’s simming a whopping 8% ST nerf for my toon. That’s definitely gonna hurt me and my guild’s progress.

“Developer’s note: We’ve corrected an issue with the Beast Mastery changes which previously excluded the baseline aura buff for both the Hunter and their pets. We’ve also adjusted the values for the baseline buff up, to better reach our target goals. Our intended tuning change for Beast Mastery is intended to be relatively neutral for single target, while increasing AoE performance, which was behind where it should be.”
So a 5% ST nerf is relatively neutral??? Uhh yeah I don’t think thats how that works guys.

Ehh, BM getting a minor ST nerf is not unreasonable TBH.
5 percent is not minor, and Blizzard stated the intent is to be around the same.

Go look at the data without PI.

Even then, the spec is still up there with Arcane/Enhance.
Moving from 1st to 3rd in boss damage is pretty minor.
This is demonstrably not true. Go look at the data without PI.

BM doesn’t need to have the best single target but should be competitive. Now we could use more AoE buffs
I am, and it’s still top-tier in ST.
Go to WCL and look at a ST boss like Sikran and filter out all logs w/ PI (there’s an option near the top). Or go sim with the updated strings posted in Discord without PI. You’re wrong.

A 5% single target nerf is not net neutral blizz

Maybe they’re pulling an Obi-Wan and saying “from a certain point of view”… idk hopefully they just change it to actually be neutral by adding that additional 8%.

A 5% single target nerf for BM hunter is not net neutral. These 2 attempts have been pretty off the mark. I understand you might not have experts able to crunch the numbers like a class community can but at the very least maybe introduce tuning announcements further in advance so feedback like this can be gathered first to prevent bad changes from going live?
