So Marksman And Beast Mastery got a buff while Survival is IGNORED again

This is so insanely unfair

Hunter

  • Beast Mastery
    • Beast Cleave now causes your pet to strike other targets for 90% of your pet’s damage (was 75%).
  • Marksmanship
    • Aimed Shot damage increased by 5%, and Trick Shots now causes your Aimed Shot or Rapid Fire to ricochet for 55% of the damage (was 50%).

It definitely needs it.

The obvious explanation to me is they don’t want it to succeed. Which is of course worrisome for several reasons.

I am no expert on survival but seems like even a blanket 10% damage buff wouldn’t make them good. Really hope 9.1 has something nice in store for the survival hunters.

They need single target buffs, and some of their talents should have been made baseline going into SL.

AOE and M+ it does okay. It also does okay in 2s pvp, nothing great but viable atm.

Single target is incredibly lacking and… that is sort of a big deal.

Survival is not even bad, the parses are actually because there is no spots on a raid team for a super squishy melee that brings no utility. i watch thyminde play survival and she easily does as much damage as the mm hunters in her raid.

Surv will never work because it doesnt bring a raid buff, melee spots are limited and 3 of them are taken by buffs crucial to the raid. so what happens when you have a class that should be range in spot of a melee that brings no mobility,utility or raid buffs.

I’m really bad at finding patch notes.

Are those 2 buffs already in game or coming soon?

They come with the weekly reset.

she hasn’t played it in mythic this tier really for a reason though Tass. the only fights she has played it on are cleave fights or fights with adds. The ST is too weak. it needs help, just because it’s not ranged doesn’t mean it deserves to be left in the dirt.

I understand that, its just hunter overall has very little in raid as max had stated the Aoe burst niche we had for wild spirits was only thing keeping us meta, once that was removed thats it for hunter at the highest lvl of play. so being melee ontop of that in a melee unfriendly raid with no benefit to your raid. survival just wont work. but that doesnt make it bad by any means.

Ok honestly not a big fan of melee survival but ever since they changed it Blizz has pretty much ignored it.

Are they trying to do with it what they did to range survival and demo locks in WoD with another "We really don’t want you to play melee survival " ?

As much as I would like range back I would prefer a 4th spec and not have Blizz do to the players of the melee version that they did to those of us that played range.

Blizz get your act together and show the melee hunters some love and start working on a 4th arcane mobile dot hunter spec that brings back the feel of the Cata- early WoD range survival.

For real. Regardless of whether you’re a fan or old sv or current sv, or even liked both, Blizz has been doing SV fans dirty with zero support. Like, what the actual hell???

i mean even for a late CE guild its really hard to justify the spec unless you play near perfectly because the damage is so terrible in ST. I’m 223 simming 5.3k. My DK is 220 simming 6.7k. The hunter has better stat prio and still can’t even get close to breaking 6k

Anyone else get the feeling they either have no idea what to do with the spec, or are currently working on a complete rework of the spec for 9.1? (Or both)

I’m guessing it’s both to be perfectly honest. The spec is being outright ignored, it got zero changes going into SL, all of its legendaries are recycled azerite powers, and it’s being left to rot for the foreseeable future as far as the numbers go. If there’s nothing done with it by 9.1 I’m just going to assume it’s getting the WoD treatment and waiting for a rework or something.
