Have been so disappointed about Hunter for the past couple seasons. Nowadays many players are kind of racist towards hunter already in M+ due to no hard cc and need extra care from healers.
Finally in 10.2 BM hunter got the damage at least, can’t really compare to DH but definitely playable if not aiming for super high level keys. Yet two weeks later since 10.2 BM hunter got nerfed again…… no wonder Gingi himself doesn’t play hunter anymore.
It’s ok if you nerf some damage, but could you please buff hunter’s personal defence? I have played hunter for more then 10 years, guess I will be AFK for a while.

They are saying it’s %4 reduction in damage. Have to wait until later in the season to see how much that will impact BM, it could be very little change.
Defensive it would help to have leech effective for BM. Longer fights is were our defenses fizzle out. Too many cooldowns all at once even spacing them has gaps. We just need a sustainable health regeneration to compensate for the in between.

The only defensive change i want for hunter is for leech to work on pet damage
thats a problem with every spec in the game tbh. really dumb that pets dont heal the player

BM is top tier damage, can DPS while moving, ranged, has lust, and is extermely easy to play. Yet people are complaining about a small nerf lol.

Largely because we are 1 of several classes performing well right now, yet i see no changes to say DHs. Other classes run entire tiers being strong, we get the nerfs literally within days every time. It’s just lousy.

Ease of play is comparing easy mode to very easy mode, nothing in this game is hard to play.

Everytime hunter is doing decent damage in raid, they nerf hunter first

Worst take ever, like 5 classes can do lust, just because you can move, dosent mean your doing all out max dps. You also get stiffed doing every raid mechanic, because of that ability to move and dps.
Hunter has been mid pack at best for several expansions, outside of some survival shenanigans at the end of legion.
Utility for hunters is still terrible, BM still has to deal with terrible pet AI, terrible damage loss when swapping targets and your pets have to travel. etc.
Ease of play is relative, if you think BMs is easy, you should see some of the mage specs, warlock specs , dk specs… assassination rogue… the list goes on…

BM was absurdly strong 8.3, SV was absurdly strong 9.2 and Fated, pretty sure MM was great in 9.0, BM was great in 10.0 and is still great right now

MM was great at the beginning of 9.0. Echo had 3 of MM in the raid, then blizzard nerfed MM to the bottom, then it stayed at the bottom for the rest of the patch.
okay, but saying hunter’s “mid at best for years” is only true if you ignore 8.3, 9.0, 9.2, 10.0, and 10.2

They have its pretty great these days!
maybe read the patch notes properly before posting lol
except it works out to be a 3-3.5% nerf in ST and a 5-6.5% nerf in m+ (could be less if there are build changes) seems reasonable given the current strength of bm.

personally i would consider “1 out of 3 specs is guaranteed not to be complete garbage, only a little” to be a failure on many levels

You say that like it’s inconsequential.
After adjusting for the Augvoker issues still present, that would put BM a tad below mid in raids, which is fine. Disappointing, but fine. 5-6% in M+ would likely put BM in the bottom three though.
