Marksman rotation is clunky

Marksman rotation is very clunky now with the changes. It was better before any of these changes. Dmg nerf is fine but again the rotation is clunky.

As someone who’s mained hunter since TBC and has reached top 10 hunter in NA PvP elite +. This is the worst the spec has felt in a very long time.

Which spec MM are you playing? Because sentinel hasn’t changed only dark ranger changed and it’s rather smooth if you set your build right.

I legitimately don’t even use arcane or multi in my build right now it’s 100% rapid fire on CD and spamming Aimed shot non stop even in cleave situations chasing deathblow procs

Doesnt trick shoted AiS give more procs?

Rapid fire gives a 25% chance to proc Deathblow

Aimed shot gives a 15% chance to proc Deathblow

Soul Drinker gives a 10% chance to proc deathblow if an enemy dies while affected by Black Arrow. (Do not use this talent its trash)

Trick Shots has no bearing on Death Blow procs and the only thing Trick shots is tied to in the Dark Ranger tree is Bleak Powder which causes Black Arrow to explode on enemies if you have Trick Shot up. The problem is that if you shoot an enemy and Black Arrow executes that enemy BLEAK POWDER DOESN’T PROC

Phantom Pain does the same thing as Bleak Powder, only it only requires Black Arrow to be applied to an enemy and it only does damage to other targets that already have Black Arrow applied THERE IS NO PASSIVE TO APPLY BLACK ARROW IN AOE SCENARIOS BECAUSE WITHERING FIRE IS NOT APPLYING BLACK ARROW AS IT’S BUGGED So Phantom Pain is quite literally USELESS until the bugged withering fire is fixed.

As a side note this is what it looks like if i raidbot test Dark Ranger vs Sentinel with pure 100% single target talents

[Quick Sim - Azsharina - 827,116 DPS - Raidbots] DR

[Quick Sim - Azsharina - 964,435 DPS - Raidbots] Sent

And this is using Trickshots AOE builds for each spec

[Quick Sim - Azsharina - 783,343 DPS - Raidbots] DR

[Quick Sim - Azsharina - 932,442 DPS - Raidbots] Sent

Blizzard nerfed Dark Ranger for literally no reason today as the talent update didn’t give us more than 1,000 DPS and it’s still 137,319 dps behind sentinel in single target and 149,099dps behind in multi target. Whoever claimed the spec is overperforming does not play this game and needs removed from balancing classes if this is what they do instead of fixing the list of known bugs for the class that have existed since PTR that they’ve been openly ignoring.
