Kill Command needs a fix/buff

What? No we definitely want a plant/cast option with a high skill cap. That doesn’t have to mean that BM becomes completely useless, but the theoretical ceiling for MM should be way higher.

Play a Warlock then. Or Mage. Or Elemental Shaman.

Truer words never spoken!!

That’s why they should make Aimed Shot castable while moving again as well as adding Chim and scatter baseline…

25

Everyone complaining about BM lol. But Frost dk still does no damage outside of chill streak at least you guys have a 25% heal reduct and a stun and trap to back up your bad damage.

we need Devs to literally copy and paste MoP hunter and drop it in 9.0. all 3 specs of hunter were awsome to play and actually felt good to play

Why not just play MM? They’re not THAT bad

28

'cus MM is boring and gimmicky.

And letting a npc do all your work isn’t boring? Ok

I agree. When ur pets auto attacks are higher than you pushed ability then that’s a flawed design

So cute :wink:

So, is the same true for auto attack v pushed abilities?

'cus WoW has been flawed for a very long time.

Imagine being this uninformed and still deciding to post.

35

Imagine being a clown and not humorous. BM shouldn’t be a viable spec…Make MM great again

Perhaps if they buffed KC, then 99% of BM hunters would stop taking the talent that increases your pets auto ability by 30% would actually swap to a different talent that lets you use KC every time you cobra shot during bestial wrath. In other words, less “letting an npc do our work” and more of the hunter using his abilities.

I would love MM to be great again. But you were still wrong about BM and the “npc” doing everything.

I swapped from a SV/BM hunter to ret just before 8.2 dropped. I can assure you that if you press pet attack and lean back to “let the pet do the work” you’ll be doing 1-2k dps TOPS. I literally have more passive healing and mitigation on my ret (had a BM hunter put his pet on me and I never dropped below 97% health) then the pet does dps.

In order to maximize damage a BM hunter has a lot more to juggle then most dps specs right now. The problem is you have more to juggle just to end up doing mediocre damage, coupled with a gutted kiting tool kit. It’s not enjoyable to play.

There isn’t anything toxic about BM anymore, in fact competent players CC the pet during CDs and literally cut out 50-60% of the hunters damage. Outside of CDs BM damage is a joke. It’s a noob killing spec, for players that don’t understand the mechanics of the class and how to counter it, it’s extremely frustrating. As for the comments above about fire vs BM? The fire mage shouldn’t lose. Nova the CDs. Sheep/ROF follow up. If you keep the pet CC’d it’s pretty simple to win.

I like all three specs of the hunter right now. They are all just extremely mediocre and boring. More damage could fix some of the issues, but for a class that historically has been the king of kiting, it has been an abysmal expansion for hunters in general. The best “kiting” hunter is the melee hunter. Let that sink in.

Yeah don’t think so. A lot of BM’s damage comes from it’s pet…a npc… Sorry not sorry. So i wish and hope the spec would stay the least viable out of the 3.

As explained you are clueless. It’s NOT the pet. It’s user input that increases the pets damage by maintaining barb shot debuff at the correct time. It’s not just something you mindlessly press because you’ll run out of charges at the wrong time. It also needs built up prior to burst.

On top of that the user presses kill command. It’s no different then ANY other dps ability in the game, except the hunter has to also ensure the pet is in range of the target. And with improve mend pet removed from the game it’s extremely easy to cc and shut down a BM hunters pet, yet you are still salty?

Anyways a good way to easily fix most of BM hunters issues in PvP would be to return improve mend pet as a PvP talent. Remove the KC damage reduction, as mentioned above it’s user controlled. To help BM and MM they could just make net a PvP talent for all three specs.
