We were ST boss killers, but these changes nuke our ST damage and make our terrible AoE slightly less terrible, but still bad.

How does a 9% ST nerf equate to being moved to boss killer

I am trying to figure out what role they are adjusting us for.
Theyâre trying to fix our AoE, but the BC nerf was moved up from the 11.0.5 patch and without everything else in that patch, theyâve just made BM bad in AoE still and now bad in ST as well. It takes away the only niche role we had.

So we are in limbo until the patch.
When is it due?
If I wanted to play a caster class, I would play Warlock or Mage. But I donât like those classes. The whole point of BM, at least for me, is being able to do your rotation while moving.

They cared when a bunch of people left the game during Shadowlands. Itâs logical they would also care if people who only main BM leaves the game. Specially considering itâs one of the most, if not the most, played classes.
I couldnât agree more. If millions leave. Yes.
If two or three, or 10 leaves. I doubt they care.
So unless we can get ALOT of BM Hunters to leave the game. I donât see how itâll impact their revenue.
Iâm at 613. I only get accepted into +2s. Highest Iâve done so far is a +3.
People aware of the BM issues donât invite you.
People unaware, leave during the run because they think Iâm not using the class properly. At least, they would shut up after the first boss, but now we wonât even have that.

Whoever is working on BM must really really hate the playerbase that plays it. And to think their fix is making it even worse i mean were practically paying to play Beta now. The differences between speccs is insane. And BM just gets completely shat on for some reason even though a huge portion of the playerbase plays Hunter with alot of them prefering BM. Its afaik only âbestedâ by Paladins in terms of playernumbers. Why arent playervoices heard? How is this allowed to reach live even? I honestly feel like if your playing BM at this point you should request a refund for this expansion and wait until they fixed it.

How does this happen? How easy is it to pass balance changes? Can anyone make a change willy-nilly? Or do they need to go through multiple people?
I thought it was the latter, but it is baffling that everyone in this supposed chain of okays somehow missed the glaring issues with these BM changes.

Hunter
- Beast Mastery
-
Basilisk Collar damage bonus per damage over time effect reduced to 2%/4% (was 5%/10%).
-
Kill Command damage increased by 18%.
-
All damage dealt increased by 8%.
-
All damage dealt by pets and summons increased by 8%.
- Developersâ notes: Weâve corrected an issue with the Beast Mastery changes which previously excluded the baseline aura buff for both the Hunter and their pets. Weâve also adjusted the values for the baseline buff up, to better reach our target goals. Our intended tuning change for Beast Mastery is intended to be relatively neutral for single target, while increasing AoE performance, which was behind where it should be.

BM is saved, 2-3% dps gain!

I mean you should be the highest or one of the highest for every boss fight in Mythic+ before the changes go through.
This is what class consciousness and solidarity looks like (in World of Warcraft)! Great job everyone. Thanks for speaking up.

they put numbers down wrong possibly it 8% only not double dip. So we might have ST lost and smaller AOE
Yea, turns out this is a 5% nerf to ST still. Please go make your voices heard (in a respectful manner) over in the main post.

I very highly doubt we get them to change it again.
It canât hurt to try. They did say in the dev note their goal was for it to be neutral for ST. This isnât neutral.
We keep getting BAITED.
