Kill Command needs a cast time

If Kill Command is going to hit as hard or harder than aimed shot, it needs at least a 2.0 cast time for balance. I have seen 324k Kill Commands from 419 Bm Hunter, while my 419 MM Hunter is lucky to break into the 220k range with aimed shot, not to mention Kill Command refreshes faster and hits with both pets and has better synergy talents.

Many of you won’t like to hear this but in its current form it needs to be nerfed and a cast time added.

You’re saying my kill command critical hit damage is going to go up ~350% between iLvL 407 and 419? Wow, good to know. That’s gonna be awesome.

I think you are completely and utterly full of spit my guy.

The only thing they should do with kill command is make it work the same across all three specs, either be a focus generator or spender.

I hate that it’s the focus builder for SV. I understand, on paper, why they went that direction … but it just doesn’t feel right, especially for an ability called KILL COMMAND.

I would have liked it better if the Focus builder involved the Hunter and Beast together.

Having the Beast fight on its own, or with other pets, is kinda a BM thing.

No it doesn’t BM is already OVERLY SIMPLE and Literally the WORST DPS SPEC in DF as of rn why tf nerf it more its literally the worst of the worst spec

I’m not fussed which way it goes.

For me, it just doesn’t make sense that an abil that is on the Hunter tree works differently across the 3 specs. They should have just made differently abils and made them baseline on the spec tree rather than the Hunter one. Heck, they could do that now and replace Kill Command with Misdirection (as an example).

I’ve been suggesting to Blizzard for years that Aimed Shot should be castable while moving, but could reduce your movement speed during the cast.

I like BM being simple. Let’s me have a chill time.

324k Kill Command hits from a 419? How lol, was the boss taking extra damage during a vulnerability phase or something? Need more info here

Also, putting a cast time on KC is a terrible idea. Buff our defensives… that’s where we need attention

Here’s an idea lets just take hunters out of the game then everyone is happy. If one thing in this game has never changed from day one its the constant complaining about hunters, hunter pets, and hunter specs over the years…

Kill command will probably never see 324k this expansion, nice try though.

What exactly is being casted? Is the animal winding up his jaw or something?
