Focus Yes or No

Focus is far better than not having anything and mana based hunters dont make sense anymore since MANA means nothing now in combat for dps players.

Unless your goal is specifically empty GCDs, that “relaxation” is the same as on Rage users – it’s the lower priority generators.

Imagine, though, a MM Hunter working on the Rage system, having to slowly build up to their Aimed Shot nuke, or just generally starting off combat resource-starved until having gotten in sufficient auto-attacks, generators, or procs? How would that make sense for what has long been an opener, or even Hunter in general?

Maybe: After entering combat, your first aimed shot is free?

But it’s also pointless to keep talking about it because blizz won’t turn energy 3.0 into rage 4.0

Why would mana be any better than Focus? I mean the name of the resource is arbitrary right? You could call it the “Monster Energy Drink” bar and it wouldn’t matter, what matters is how it functions.

Lore wise, blizz probably felt that mana doesn’t really fit a “Hunter”. They’re not a spell caster, they are essentially someone that shoots bows, has pets, and survives in the wild. “Focus” logistically makes more sense, since you know…when you shoot your arrow, you have to “focus” on your shot.

Focus always when we was mana it was awful

Speaking of focus, as someone who plays survival Im often left using a bow with all my focus spent on arcane shot and the only way to get focus back is to switch to melee. Why dosent steady shot regenerate focus for survival as it does for marksman? Be a lot cooler if it did. Just saying
