Rework mm hunter

if a spec has all the benefits of being ranged, uninterruptible, casts while moving with lots of instants it should be balanced by having the lowest damage numbers of all dps specs not the highest. every bg is filled with mm hunters face rolling a few buttons and being rewarded with nonsensical damage and kills

how much longer must mm be allowed to break the game outside of arena, also healers need some form of dampening in bgs/blitz

Blizz can’t nerf hunters! The majority of dps players play hunters. And the majority of hunters are bad players so blizz painted themselves into a corner. Subs matter so nerfing hunters is bad for business even though it would be great for PvP community

Outside arena? Like rated bgs with players that are actuality good? Yeah, they could use some buffs against competent players.

Mages are my favorite snack. :smiley:

There has been a rework in the Beta, you can find some info about those changes. I would say don’t worry about it, the meta is about to change with the new expansion. We all have so much HP in season 1 gear about 7-8million HP. Class balance is all over the place, everyone has new spells with Hero Talents.

It’s about to get funky.

Aren’t they reworking hunters now for WW? or is that done already?

The TWW hunter and mage reworks look really nice(tuning pending) as do several other specs. I think you feel this way because Hunter happens to be pretty effective against mage. MM is not effective against melee if melee focus the MM. It’s not that you can’t help kill hunters, but it’s nice for you if someone with a mortal strike and more crowd control that remains during damage received, is also killing the hunter. Since this is on a battlegrounds thread I would imagine you have 7 to 14 teammates or so, not everything is your job but you could remind your team to pay attention to what the enemy Hunters doing and maybe try to help stop it, if the MM is stopping you from doing your job.

If you need to scratch the “killing a marksmanship hunter” itch, pretty much any melee, MM, or devastation evoker are well suited to do so if you play alts. When you are playing these non-mages, you may find that you run into other problems, like your defensives being removed early or otherwise stolen, or that you’re constantly rooted, snared, mind controlled, knocked back etc.

nothing has ever been as bad as MM coz of the range lol getting 3 shot from 65 yards away aint fun

Excellent thank you

lol
Vulpera’s are super cute. :smiley:

If this is your perspective, you are either severely undergeared or you haven’t played in well over a month.

It just got a complete talent refresh on beta.

honestly dude, with a ~35% crit chance during trueshot and a little luck from RNGesus, my hunter’s aimed shots crit for 600k+. It is not uncommon to literally 3 shot people, especially with an instant aimed shot proc thrown in there.

And the truly sickening thing is that my hunter is still pretty behind in gear.

Full mastery marksman only gets 600k aimed shots against mages or tanks when one of you has zerking or a saltwater potion. Notwithstanding orb or flag carriers with debuffs. 575 or so with boot + scope + trinket procs against cloth is about peak without BG modifiers. Marks always wrecks BGs. The game isn’t balanced around random BGs.

oh well in that case :clown_face:

Yeah lots of classes have big dam. Marks is oppressive in open world and random BG pvp content because of how it’s tooled. If random BGs were what the game was balanced around, marks would probably be different. Complaining about marks because of that content is the actual :clown_face: take.

Show me a combat log of a pvp geared player with 1.5 million health dying solely from 3 hunter abilities. Shouldn’t be hard to produce based on your claim.

And of course, no flag Carrier type debuffs.
