Greeting hunter community!
I am confident most of you are aware that both Beast Mastery and Survival are falling behind Marksman in damage output, burst, and even PvP content. Though they are playable, it is difficult to excuse their performance in competitive or difficult content.
Understandable that fixing flaws in the specializations would be preferable, but that would be time and resource consuming on the developers part, and possibly best saved for a patch 9.1. So we should settle on a straight forward buff, to bring the other specializations in line, or at least closer to MM.
The following is a cut&paste suggestion I have created for the in-game suggestion tab. I would request other members interested in seeing improvements to their favorite specializations consider sending in suggestions like this, or their own if preferred. I only ask that your suggestion be RESPECTFUL to Blizzard employees, as such a campaign as this could potentially be seen as harassing if poorly worded.
Both Beast Mastery and Survival are struggling in comparison to Marksman in both PvP/PvE content. With Marksman dealing so much more damage, and more effective burst, it is hard to excuse their poor performance in competitive play. The hunter community would like to request the emergency implementation of a 7% damage and healing bonus aura to both Beast Mastery and Survival specializations to close the damage gap, until patch 9.1 or any other substantial change.
Thank you!
While there is risk of a vacation for myself for doing this, regretfully, I see no other way to get Blizzard’s attention on this matter. Perhaps in the future, this will not be necessary at all.
My thanks for any participants, and to the game developers for their patients!

Thank you for doing this! I agree that there is really no other ways, Blizzard kept acting blinded on the balancing issues.

I agree 100% that BM and Survival needs there buffs. I’m absolutely unwanted in any mythic+'s, to the point I have to sneak in by dismissing my pets. Then i’m the bad guy if we wipe. Also because my DPS isn’t huge like other classes in the sire denath fight. They told me that out of our 3 hour raid time, i’m only allowed for the first hour, then i’m being benched. I’ve been playing WoW since BC. But never really did any serious end game content. I started BFA and my internet and computer wasn’t good enough, so I got into a guild then realize I had to quit. By the time I upgraded all my stuff, BFA was almost over, and it was just so much to do to catch up it wasn’t even worth it. Now here I am, with a class that is literally condemned, I feel like either our single target needs to be high, or our aoe damage needs to be high. If you don’t want to give BM too much burst for pvp balancing. Then make our sustain higher. On a training dummy, I can do 4k single target. 6.8k Burst for a few seconds. That’s nearly other classes single target sustained damage.

I agree, I can barley break into +5s at the moment.
at this point I will have to just roll MM with no Lego to progress. It is silly I can use no Lego on MM and still do as good DPS as survival.
My problem with BM in pvp. It’s very easy to shut down the burst and it doesn’t have as much CC. I could live with how easy it is to shut down their burst, but at least make binding shot baseline in PvP or give BM scatter shot as an option.
Or here’s a better idea. Remember when spider pets used to net enemy players? How about making a BM exotic pet that has nets? Heck, make it a PvP only talent for BM so it can’t be used in PvE if that’s what you are worried about.
Why would you get banned or a vacation for posting that? I am missing something?
Well, looks like something just happened! While I don’t think I can take blame for it, seems many under-performing classes/specs are getting x% buffs! Its only 5% for hunters (BM/Surv), but its something!
I believe that starting protests/strikes/boycotts on the forums is against ToS. Having people mass suggest changes like this could be seen as a protest.
Which is dumb. That he’d get a ban considering we all feel this way. Bm needs buffs. I think it shoulda been 8% instead of five though and I think pets shoulda been 35% tankier in their last buff as well. But at least blizz is getting closer.
If your playing a hunter or really any class just for 1 spec your setting yourself up to fail. Especially with how toxic the playbase is towards bm. But that dosnt exuse bm and suv being bottom on the dps rankings. They both need alittle rework
