MM Hunter Bug on Aimed Shot

[Tanais-kilrogg]

@Anka-dalaran

They must have fixed it because today the tooltip shows 44k and I’m hitting for 47k non crit on the dummy.

I don’t think the tooltip will account for Careful Aim? You may wish to compare your results against the expected damage increase from that and then the expected damage decrease (~30%?) from NPC Armor.

44.7k x 1.5 * .7 = 47k, for instance.

But, yes, that would seem to indicate a fix if you were suffering from the bug before.

Lastly, I also think it’s possible that it’s a piece of gear or scaling that is causing this issue.

Probably the ranged weapon, I would imagine, as two equal-DPS weapons of different attack speeds can give tooltip readings on for their damage, iirc.

• (See old LWing bow vs. Engi Gun descriptions, where the first gave more LnL procs but the 2nd had higher damage per AiS.)

Unfortunately my aimed shot tooltip is telling me 65k and I am hitting for 18k-20k at the moment with 30k crits. Meanwhile my arcane is hitting for 19k with 40k crits. This is ridiculous lol.

Edit: Ghorak- I hear where you’re coming from on the damage mitigation. But as you noted, other factors remove that from being the cause.

And I have begun to see a lot of hunters responding here, in addition to creating their own threads

Yep, this does seem to be an occurring bug. Albeit not for everyone it appears, which could make it more difficult to fix. But we’ll see…

Still bugging for me. No hotfix

[Aristavo-ysera]

Are you talking about in PvP or in PvE? Because at 417, with high mastery, my tooltip displays 55k. Not sure how you are getting to 65k. With my Puzzle I am at 65k. Can you clarify? With that said my Aimed shots are hitting for normal damage.

@Aristavo-ysera

With that said my Aimed shots are hitting for normal damage.

Some of us are randomly bugging and they are hitting for 20-24k and 30k crits and stuff.
Its really baaaad.

I had a 14k normal aim shot earliar on someone. Tilt!!! Still no hotfix for it

Just tested it again on a warlock without his wall or pact up so you guys can see. That was with trueshot + on use badge and full health with the careful aim bonus

here is another one. Hardest crit was 78k with trueshot/badge and careful aim bonus just now + the death chakram bonus. Thats on cloth. Plate it would be pretty pitiful

[Vulonnah-silvermoon]

Is this primarily a PvP issue? I didn’t see any comments related to Dungeons, Raids, or other PvE content.

Does this occur regardless of which target dummy is used?

Does it occur after changing specs, such as from Survival to MM? What about from BM to MM?

Someone mentioned that it seemed to be fixed after a delete/restore of the character. Has someone experiencing the issue tested this?

Suddenly, my aimed shots are hitting for 25k now, 30k crits. A week ago they were hitting for 50k-60k with 100k crits. The damage nerf to us said 4%, that math doesn’t check out.

You can thank a Developer for that. They have / got something personal against Hunters.

Look what Developers did to SV They put the spec out of commission. Unplayable.

And you have to also remember Developers do anything / everything Premades tell them to do.
If a premade tell developers to jump a developers will ask How high

[Akariel-frostwolf]

Just adding my voice to this. Its not every aimed shot its every other one for me, also Kill Shot seems to be effected by this bug as well. Tooltip says 47k and crits for 100k, but sometimes it hits for 30k and crits for 60k. very annoying.
