Wasn’t BM dominant for the entirety of BFA?

You’re going to have to explain this too me… but how does nerfing MM make BM more “viable”?

Seems like 5% is the magic number for all balancing this xpac???

Oh… so you don’t know the difference between viable and optimal.

BM was always viable, even if it wasn’t the optimal choice.

hey thanks for being so nice and helpful and not smug at all :slight_smile: … i bet you are great at parties correcting people . I literally said in my OP that the min/max people could explain better … i havent raided much the last 2 xpacs (i have 2 kids now)

i meant that BM would be more attractive to the people who would rather play BM … i enjoy the mobility vs stopping to cast aimed shots plus mobility is obviously better in a raid environment… play what you want its a game …

This is reasonable, expected.

However brining another spec down to meet the shoddiness of other specs is absolutely not the way to go about making the game fun – I have a very strong grasp on how power creep functions, but shifting the goalposts won’t fix what’s wrong with BM and make it more attractive, you’ll just end up with two underperforming specs.

I’m not saying that’ll happen to MM, it won’t. Touch wood.

(I mean I play Survival and I wouldn’t touch BM with a ten-foot pole so I have no real stake in BM’s validity).

I wouldn’t call nerfing MM is making BM more viable. I loved MM where it was and all I want is buffing BM to also be able to do comparable damage.

I think it is good to see MMs being OP and viable option for raiding and Mythic+.
Most of BFA expansion while leveling, I played as MM, since I didn’t want to deal with pets. Also I didn’t like to wait for Aim Shot/Steady Shot casts to go through (but that was the closest option I had to shooter game). I generally don’t like cast time for abilities.

However as soon I reached the end game content, I noticed that I don’t get invited to do keys, I get whispered “are you BM or MM?” and as soon as they learned I am MM, they rejected me all the times.

By force of hand, I had to switch to BM, which wasn’t a bad thing since I discovered how fluid the rotation is and how mobile the spec is.

But I don’t think that’s right, having a balanced approach as much as possible allows players to choose the class or spec they love and not be worried about being excluded.

Why even post something like this?

Consider the following: If BM features unlimited mobility, and MM is hardcasting 2.5s base Aimed Shots, and BM does similar DPS, why would you ever go MM with the mobility penalty?

Is it really that upsetting to you that BM isn’t dominant for a tier?

Yeah, I get not having time to raid. I have 3 kids.

My point is, nerfing one spec is not going to make the spec you want to play better. Eventually it may even out if you keep nerfing, but at that point, your spec hasn’t gotten better, it’s just the spec that was doing good was just brought down to whatever level your spec is at. That’s not good for anyone.

Unless you’re doing Mythic raids, or M+ 15 or higher, min/maxing isn’t really required. And if you nerf the “good” spec, all you’re doing is making it harder for both specs to get into that higher end content.

all of u dont know how happy i am that mm is now done for as a class. bm needs to be next getting hit with the nerf bat.

it needs to go back to survival being the pvp/pve spec.

14

So the majority of people can continue to not play it?

mm was too op and it needed to be nerfed into the ground. be glad i’m not a dev aimed shot should take 4 secs to cast

i’m going to enjoy the free kills on mm hunters tomorrow.

17

MM was a free kill on Survival before this nerf. Nothing has changed in that regard.

And I am glad you’re not a dev. The patch notes would be nigh unreadable.

You didn’t answer the question. Here, I’ll post it again for you: If BM features unlimited mobility, and MM is hardcasting 2.5s base Aimed Shots, and BM does similar DPS, why would you ever go MM with the mobility penalty?

Is it really that upsetting to you that BM isn’t dominant for a tier?

For the love of god, make soul forged embers not pure clunk to use.
