I fully admit BM before was easy to play. Since they added in management of Frenzy stacks though it’s much trickier if you want to play optimally.
That being said I like Enhancement Shaman, it’s super easy to play and doesn’t require twitch reflexes or watching alot of timers.
Both are good options, and it depends largely on what you want to do, and if the cons bother you enough.
MM and BM are in good spots. BM has high mobility, but target switching can be an issue due to so much damage tied to pets. MM can do some great damage. Between one of those two, you will almost always have a good dps option.
There is survival that I also greatly enjoy, but tends to be mostly ignored.
For shaman, it offers the versatility of caster, melee, and healing. Right now, Ele is in a very good spot, and Resto heals, while weaker in m+ are amazing for raids. Enhance needs some help, but is viable still. Both enhance and elemental dps relies greatly on specific azerite traits.
Elemental shaman is probably the better choice. MM hunter has good raid damage but is not very good in M+. BM is ok in M+ but their damage is not good.
I’ll give it another try. I Mean I do like BM. I only swapped from it maybe a month or 6 weeks ago or so. marksman has so much more going on, plus being able to drop the pet without losing a lot of DPS is great for those times where a tank is screaming like a baby accusing your pet of pulling when hes making bad pulls.
I see that kind of comment all the time.
How is that even possible?
I mean, I accept that its true just watching my own game where one time Im literally twice the DPS from the last time. Even in the same frikkin dungeon with maybe one gear piece difference.
What do they do…make the numbers different for different types of runs?
Or is it just a byproduct of the common core math we’re using?
Just FYI, Both ranged Hunter specs feel weaksauce to me atm. I am not sure if it’s just me or if it’s really a thing.
I refuse to play Survival as I do not want another melee.
Well, yeah. Not like hunter isnt on the lower end of complexity anyway.
I really just mean that by comparison, MM feels like its got more going on.
But if BM has changed dramatically somehow I might have to give it another shot.
Hunter, its a pain in the rear to do multiple specs, and will be in the future to. As you’ll have to have two different gear sets more if you experiment with enchancement to.
If you like falling asleep while playing video games, Hunter is an excellent choice.
