New hunter

Hey guys new hunter here probably, and was wondering if the BM hunter spec or any hunter spec for that matter is desired for all content? pvp, mythic +, raids?

Desired for all content?

Might be a bit of a stretch but, all hunter specs do well enough in most cases.
Playing on a competitive level is ofc a different case.

But yeah, for anything below competitive play, you can go for whichever spec you want. All that matters there is what you enjoy.

Start with BM, tame a pet that you will like and have fun, you will be able to play on a competitive level with no issues once you learn the class, don’t let the FotM club tell you other wise!

If you want to look at the highest levels of play for mythic raiding and pvp

Raids with more than 7/8+ mythic bosses down in Eternal Palace:

BM hunter is #1 on that list
NOTE: I’m stunned. Really. But Happy.

Rated PvP at 2200+ (top level pvp):

Survival Hunters is #14 on the list, other specs are way below that.

Mythic+ Dungeons 20+ key level (top level M+).
Need to use a different source

If you look at the bar graph, 6.4% of all players are BM hunters (6th place). Other specs are much less.

Depending on how you switch around the graphs parameters you’re going to see one thing in common:

  1. BM Hunter is the most “popular” hunter spec for pve with groups. Survival and MM is used much less frequently but they are still used.
  2. While survival is the most popular hunter spec for top-level pvp (with bm and mm way behind), lesser brackets have a good share of hunters. Also, top-level is very slanted towards a few specific specs and classes. We ain’t meta there.

From my own personal experience (and I’m an average scrub for pve and pvp), I’ve never run into a situation where I felt that no one loved me. I’m always finding groups at my skill level.

Survival for high rated pvp. Bm for raids/m+. What’s mm? Oooh that spec that’s almost complete garbage outside of low level battlegrounds. Yeah don’t use that one.

I know this is off topic but how do you highlight links so they can post? I never knew how

Read this sticky in the gd forum

Some websites are “trusted” by Blizz, like their own and YouTube, and you don’t need to do anything funny for those.

Some people have earned “trust level 3” and don’t need to do anything funny either.

But for the rest of us, you need to format the link as “code”
use the code tags
[code]www.somewebsite.com[/code]
or with “backticks”
