Ok cool for the 1% of people doing mythic raiding but when are you going to buff tanks, healers and dead DPS specs like Fire Mage?

Soooooooooooooo
Hunter BM and Mage Arcane/Fire specs are still dead specs?

I don’t play Hunter so I don’t know about that one.

Arcane is decent, the problem is you’re squishy with no double Barrier/Ice Block, but DPS wise is pretty solid.

Fire is straight up garbage, simming my own character it is 100k behind Arcane in AoE…

Mage overall is in a bad spot right now, you’ll not be topping the metters, ever.

Arcane is right above BM (which is at the bottom) for damage. And the damage is the lease of Arcanes issues.

Oh but you are referring to raid performance, right? I was talking about M+.

When are you going to tune H raiding so raiders there aren’t expected to do M+?

As it stands, if you want to H raid but not do M+ you might as well not play for a couple of months and then join the tier when things have been nerfed.

Are you suggesting you need myth track gear to clear heroic raid? Because heroic track gear is raining from the sky with options from multiple non-m+ sources.

I have a dream,

That one day this dev team will design raid fights that don’t require obscene amounts of addons and macros and 3rd party trackers and planners to do.

My guild hit aotc two weeks ago, however, if you’re not drowning in welfare m+ mythic gear from bonus rolls, good luck getting invited to pugs.

i mean sure there is both its not like guilds ban people from doing m+ but its also not a requirement either lmao. guess what some of those m+ people get absolutely gapped by a couple of the raid loggers.

Agreed re: Arcane and Fire being awful, but BM is perfectly fine at the moment.

It’s the highest ST spec out of the three and also has the highest uncapped AoE out of the three. It’s by far the best Hunter spec on the hardest boss this season.

That’s the neat part! Next expansion.

Maybe.

probably not.

Don’t look at tier lists and what not.
People gravitate towards bm due to its low entry level and just general low nuance. Especially these days. But a good bm hunter can absolutely smoke the damage meters.
Same with fire and arcane. Fire has a higher skill ceiling so you’ll tend to run into more bad fire mages than good ones. But a good fire mage will make you want to try rolling fire lol.

Considering the loot drops it’s unsurprising.

I dont win gear rolls. If it wasn’t for keys and vault I’d never get gear.
