Oct 9 Hunter changes, UPDATE - Aoe buffed more, still losing some ST

https://simulationcraft.org/reports/TWW1_Raid.html if you go to the mm breakdown you can see that the sim only spends 25% of the 5 minutes casting aimed shot. So 75% of the time you can move freely as mm and you are trying to argue it isn’t mobile???

I don’t believe you’re being harassed in a delve…

Brann was talking smack about their dps

100% factually happened. I have no reason to make up some BS story, just simply telling folks what happened.

Ask blizzard, I sent in a harassment report.

I thought you cancelled your sub?

It don’t matter because you’re quitting.

Since you’re still here, embrace the change and join me to be the middle or bottom end class. We can delve together.

Go read what I said. I did cancel my sub and I also said I will play out my time in hopes that I find something redeeming about the game.

So, nice try on the “gotcha” but you got nothing.

I’m not a gotcha guy.

Just telling you we can delve together. :blush::heart:

Oh hey Survival buffs. Nice ^.^ I mean I play it for the same class fantasy that I played BM so all good here.

Sucks that BM gets nerfed, but its probably a band-aid fix until they finally decide what to do with PI. I haven’t played it in a while cause the reliance on the dire beast mechanic just made it really annoying for me.

how is gutting the spec a fix at all lol

Is BM suddenly the lowest damage spec in the entire game?

If so, is it significantly lower than its neighbor?

Is it impossible to clear content with it?

If the answer to any of those are no, I don’t think its gutted. Like I said, it sucks that it got nerfed, POSSIBLY in relation to another classes skill. But if the expansion cycles are anything to go by, BM is usually one of the best specs towards the end of an expansion.

Im not gonna hop on the doom train every single time BM doesn’t get a purely positive patch. After being here for so long, I really doubt this one is any worse than many of the past nerfs and things ended up fine.

I am more annoyed with the direction the spec has gone thematically (I mentioned above I don’t like the current dire beast mechanic, I much prefer that we got the pvp versions of dire beasts hawk/basilisk for example) than this specific patch.

at 610ilvl, i get turned down for open world content lol. hunter life.

im going to continue to play, and do stuff as i would and one day ill be the only hunter in content and people will point and laugh and ill just be like… at least my pets look cool.

I invested a bunch of sparks and tokens into bm - thanks Blizzard - BM has been the laughing stock of the past two expansions being completely underwelming - I thought there was some momentum with our single target damage in raid but then they go and do this.

It quite literally goes to a bottom tier ST spec while simultaneously having the worst AOE damage in the game. If that’s not gutting a spec I don’t know what is. And yes it is almost impossible to clear M+ content as BM in any pugging formats. So again, I ask you what constitutes gutting a spec if this does not?

Still disheartened by this. A blue response would be great. The math on how bad this puts us is very easy to do its also very easy to see where we are with and without PI and how low this puts on both ST and AoE. Really hoping to hear something before they push this change and make us all play mm/surv.

Let’s not lie about things now.

Really hoping Blizzard will give us some kind of response or revert these changes. My guild is still working towards AotC and feels really bad that come Tuesday I could be doing significantly less damage to help with our progression. Drastic nerfs like this shouldn’t be happening mid-tier.

You will get a reality check about devs not giving a ### about us.

So we are being moved to single target boss killers?
I really would like my beast cleave to be significant.

Quite the opposite. We are being moved to the bench

It seems we are being moved to boss killer without the damage spikes that arcane gets for the same role.
BM still owns as a quest class, but I feel guilty about my DPS in group content.
