As a BM player, this is the first expansion that I can’t get my self to log into because i can’t play what I want. Why not just remove or rework this god awful talent if the devs are too incompetent to make it work. I could rant for days but it won’t change anything, the incompetence shows and that’s enough said
It’s always been funny to me how the players have always given them the solutions to every garbage change they make for this game but they instead prefer to take a dump between 2 bread slices and serve you that sandwich thinking they did good

Has blizzard ever reimbursed any class for nerfs to a spec ever ?
This is far better than spec nerfs during legion esp if you didn’t have all legendaries available.
They could at least have the decency to not brick a class mid-raid tier. Like, we just got to the hardest bosses in mythic and now I’m missing 10% of my boss damage. Not great.
If we would have known we could have swapped classes. But now we’ve already been funneled gear for pushing CE, so it’s nearly impossible to catch up on another class from scratch and be competitive when it matters.

I am not expecting them too… we will grin and swallow our $%&* sandwiches. But doesnt mean i am happy about it.
Just means a few weeks of grinding out and get back to where we are now.
Not a single hunter likes these changes. The AOE changes do not even help enough. SUrv and MM are still better in aoe…
If youre going to do this horrible way of tunning, buff KC damage by 36% and pet damage by 8%. That should make it a minor nerf or even it out on ST and massive buffs for AOE. Because ITS NEEDED.
Youre killing the spec, revert it or fix it

This is bad bad real bad, and shows a total lack of foresight on Blizz’s part. Hopefully they are at least planning on fixing this with further tuning for the anniversary patch updates. That said, even if they do that, I dont understand why this couldn’t wait until they could do it all at once. At best, the next couple weeks are going to suck. worst case, this is the way things are and wow just wont be fun. It is starting to feel like I’ve waisted the last two months of my free time and hundreds of thousands in gold (some of which was purchased via token) playing and gearing my hunter. Nerfing collar is the correct call, but those buffs do not make up for the loss in ST. Please revert this change.

I just don’t understand why they are pushing 11.0.5 changes early??? blizz literally just took the main hunter raid spec out back and SHOT it in the head.

For the love of God don’t do this. This is horrifically asinine. There is 0 situation why doing this to a class makes sense if you’re not going to roll all of the changes out. I have yet to see an argument why this is a good idea.

As a wise man taught me, time is something you won’t get back once it’s spent.
This has to be going towards something BIG. Big as in WoD Demo to Leg Demo, and especially WoD SV to Leg SV. This is Microsoft now, folks, trying what they can do to rebuild the world that Bobiablo have ravaged. Peace will still be a distant dream for now, as we’ll have to see what Mrs. Faries will do.
This is, um… wow. Why on earth would they do this NOW?
I mean, in general I agree that Basilisk Collar has got to go, but this is nowhere near enough of a buff to compensate for it.

What’s so strange to me is that in the past when a spec was over-performing in raid, Blizz would reign them back in but still keep them on top just by a smaller margin.
BM isn’t even on top for ST unless they are getting PI. How long did Unholy DK stay as the #1 ST DPS because they were getting PI and that margin was much larger than with BM now.
So now Blizz decides to put BM at the bottom of ST and AoE? What is going on?

they should just delete basilisk collar and put something in there that benefits both ST and AOE.

How about those survival buffs amirite? Since BM aoe has been absolute trash tier all expansion I have had to play something else, and survival isnt that bad. I guess…
Damn Blizzard y’all really just killed this spec. Took it out back and shot it in the back of the head.

Really feels like blizzard wants me to unsub. BM had awful AOE which pretty much killed my fun in keys as I don’t like MM and SV is brutal with melee mechanics. That was fine because at least I had a ST niche that could provide value in raid. But lo and behold they went and nerfed that into oblivion too. So at this point I either actively play something I dislike or Unsub. And once I start getting to that point, well it seems pretty straightforward what I should do. It’s just genuinely baffling we’ve arrived at this point but GG blizz you did it.

I agree with you. BM spec took a big hit, and we are as useless in raids or M+. This needs to be repaired.

There’s someone on the designer’s team that has some serious beef with BM, and hates when it climbs up.

These changes show that there are two possibilities:
-
Developers are acting to the detriment of the company by deliberately destroying one of the largest communities in the game - BM players will leave the game by not being able to complete any content with their specialisation. The solution is to sack the team immediately and appoint a new one.
-
Developers have some kind of advanced atherosclerosis that is causing their brains to become hypoxic so that they make total illogical, irrational decisions. The solution is to send them for an immediate medical examination.
Since, with these changes, the game no longer offers me the opportunity to realise content with my character, I am not going to renew my subscription, which ends in a month. I encourage other players to behave similarly, as Blizzard’s moves show that they completely don’t give a damn about ‘listening to the community’. These are greedy people looking at an excel chart - if the excel chart with revenues is no longer in line, the corpo-bureaucrats will start looking for reasons and make the expected changes to improve the situation.
