Does that “one shot” build still work?
Nope, it was nerfed. MM isn’t really that great right now, but 8.1 is reworking it however we shall see if it feels like an improvement.
It never worked at 120. But yeah, it got nerfed anyway.
Reworked in 8.1 like Nabas said. Looks like more of the damage is shifting into rapid fire which was previously nerfed in PvP so its probably going to continue to struggle.
And streamline was nerfed from 30% to 20%, so rapid fire is not looking good. 8.1 might address whatever PVE imbalances there are - I wouldn’t know, I don’t do serious PVE - but it’s certainly not addressing PVP for marksman.
I don’t see it being any good in pvp.

There was a brief window of time this patch you’d get annihilated by MM double-taps and such, but that ship has long since sailed. I think it was pre-patch through the 2nd or 3rd week after BfA launch.
BM and SV have been the go-to’s for hunter since then, however MM is getting a rework as mentioned.
In randoms I see BM and SV doing okay fairly often. In RBG’s I rarely see hunters of any kind and when I do it’s usually SV. Rogues base sit better, and too many other DPS are outright stronger with better utility.
Yeah, we were like pyro mages briefly, mostly because everyone was still in Legion gear, which provided relatively little stamina and left everyone squishy. Everyone did damage faster at the time, but it was more noticeable with marksman because, if you weren’t careful, your first notice that you were being attacked was when you lost half your health - or three quarters if it was critical.
Everyone who had played on test pointed out that the problem didn’t exist at 120, but they nerfed us anyway.
