Marksman Hunters are globaling people in low level pvp

Hunter damage is insane! I thought Disc Priest would be pretty good considering we get an absorb shield but nope people are going down before I can do anything about it. This is disappointing because I had hoped to level through PVP but it’s not satisfying gameplay.

This is nothing new, MM Hunters have been able to do this in low level bgs for a long time. Luckily that changes at max.

It is pretty low on Blizz priority list I would imagine.

How high of a priority should the new player perspective be? Thankfully there is a bunch of great questing and dungeons to do but for people who like PVP this is disappointing

WoW is geared towards end game content, no matter if you are a new player or old player.

Same thing with Arcane Mages IIRC

Yeah, arcane is the same. I leveled my mage through pvp only and it was nothing but me pressing arcane missiles.

I saw mages too but they were admittedly easier to handle thanks to interrupts and silences

I usually just cc the hunters while they’re casting aimed shot and they cant do anything and die.

Yes, I took to rushing them on mount so I could Psychic Scream then bubbling myself and desperate praying to survive the aimed shot

Hunters at lower levels are gods. They start to even out at 40+. I wouldn’t want Blizz to do anything to balance them out at lower levels because then it may have a negative effect at max level and we are already undesirable.

Blizzard has multiple ranks for several abilities. How about blunting the aimed shot until level 40?

I would be all for it. I really just wish MM Hunter worked differently. MM Hunter IS Aimed Shot, and everything else just builds you up to push out more Aimed Shots. Bring back Serpent Sting, Exploding Shot, Black Arrow! Markman Hunters are two more updates away from just spamming Aimed Shot over and over again.

MM is the weakest Hunter spec for lower levels.
If we see changes there, healers will need to be looked at the same time IMO.
This will be lovely.

With attention to detail at the “specific bracket” level, there is no reason not to open up the brackets.
Population and growth.

MM are globaling people. I can’t heal someone if they are dead

You picked the weakest link.

Aimed shot, aimed shot, rapid fire, profit

Big true, they have been one of the most popular twinks for almost a decade.

Haha I just got done leveling as BM tho and I was top DMG in probably 90% of the BGs I was in. I went a little excessive and full enchanted all my gear and went through the work of farming epic artifact relics to get my titanstrike beefy in the 40-49 bracket as well. It’s not the same in 50-59 but still decent. I almost didn’t wanna level outta the 49 bracket lol

I believe you but at least with BM there is counterplay against your pet and you were kitted out

there’s no counterplay to BM lol. All three Hunter specs leveling are just stupid.
