Hunters are the least represented class on the ladders by a huge margin meaning we need a rework of pvp talents and CC. Please? No? Okay nvm I am leaving.

I just feel like a DoT while my pet is CCed or just running around doing it’s own weird stuff…
Take scatter off trap DR
replace the aimed shot CDR talent with kill shot
Buff arcane shot and steady shot in PVP so sustained damage is higher
make binding shot a stun again, there was 0 reason to make it a useless root
Increase cobra shot and chimera shot damage, slightly buff pet damage for bm, but mostly buff the hunter damage so babies don’t cry about bm as badly
SV doesn’t need much it just sucks in the current meta, however…
these 2 things all 3 specs need:
Tranq shot baseline, and aspect of the iron hawk for 10% damage reduction because all 3 hunter specs just flop like wet paper bags

They won’t touch hunters because of the extreme backlash they get every time hunter is on top. “They’re way to mobile to be doing THAT much dps.” “All they have to do is LoS and kill me off.”
Honestly they could tune the pet damage down and require us to have LoS to actually pump. Our mobility is only an advantage at the beginning of new tiers anyways. The more people learn the fights and mechanics, the more even the playing ground becomes. First tier of Uldir was a prime example of that. BM was top dog for TWO weeks, then got a hard nerf that was premature… primarily because we could easily move and do mechanics while dpsing. Toward the middle and end of the tier however, after people learned mechanics and everyone’s iLvl went up BM gradually fell down the rankings.
Now were in the middle of a situation where even our mobility doesn’t make up for the lack of dps and our pets might as well be battle pets in Pvp. If history has taught us anything, BM won’t get much love if any at all. I’m still hoping for a miracle though.

I started leveling a hunter and like the game play, but in PvP they are so squishy and the damage is so meh, I just gave up. Been trying to fall back in love with hunters ever since I gave them up in TBC (was my first toon), but damn… Blizz makes it so tough sometimes.
They already did that in BFA: Kill Command and Barbed Shot require LoS. Other classes didn’t get the memo, though, and still screech about BM doing damage while out of LoS.

BM actually requires MORE LoS than any other class now. It requires a triangle of sight. The pet must see the target, the hunter must see the target, and the hunter must see the pet. It used to be easier than anyone else, now it is more difficult than everyone else. It substantially reduces the range “advantage”.
In addition they nerfed the damage 3 times for PvP and didn’t pay any attention when people got gear and it fell into near last place. BM is a travesty.
Of course so is MM. Maybe that is by design so BM doesn’t feel lonely. We can commiserate together.
SV I know nothing about. I refuse to play it until they let it use a bow again (AKA sometime between when hell freezes over and the heat death of the universe).

I’ll be interested to see how these buffs to BM play out in pvp. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
The barbed shot bleed bug (say that 10 times fast) being fixed should help a lot.
No, we need a reword of the PVP system so it’s not focused on artificial tiny arenas.
