People sleeping on how strong bm and mm hunters were in tbc. Bm was one of the best dps in tbc, also having viper sting ( mana drain).

Didn’t have to do dmg. They just did not die and eventually you ran out of mana lol. Kind of why mana drain got removed from their kit entirely. It kind of made them have to start going other specs at that point because the dmg alone could not really kill anything unless you were unable to heal. I like tbc though… no real burst… matches took some time… also healers were healers and dmg specs could not heal almost as well as a healer just not as long hah.
I know exactly how they won. My contention was never whether they were good or not.

Doesn’t need to be well thought out and intuitive.
You’re just wrong 
That’s just like, your opinion, man.

It’s not though, since I like, actually played and you clearly didn’t.

Ah yes, question if I ever played because I stated my personal experience in TBC. Gotcha. Next time I post, I will make sure to incorporate my resume, and timeline.
I mean yeah SL/SL lock could be considered good, but it sure wasn’t fun to play. As others have mentioned, it was definitely a durable spec, but the damage was just “chip away, grind ya down… eventually” boring. Nightfall procs were the only fun thing about the spec.
Restokin was extremely fun to play. But if you didn’t cover or pillar during your Innervates, games weren’t going to last long, at all. Still super fun to play though.

This is exactly my point. I’m not saying SL/SL were some damage overlord. It was just extremely unfun to fight against, and it felt like you were running into a brick wall all game. Drain tanking you mid map.
I’m unsure as to why people are becoming so defensive on this post.
RMP for easy comp. WLD will be king but it’s not as easy as RMP. Cleave comps don’t really exists.
I wasn’t even really responding to anything you might have said. Wasn’t really responding to anyone in particular, matter of fact.
If you’re reading anything defensive in nature into my previous post… no.
Sorry, I wasn’t referring to you. Previous posters, and I thought you just clarified a comment that I made earlier with your exact thoughts.

Copy that. I played alot of arena, did alot of high end raiding back then, too. Entirely too much WoW in general if I’m being honest. Not a good thing haha.
Yeah, I -HATED- having to spec into SL when we’d go to play games after raiding. Aff was fun, and later once I got geared enough to support Destro build (round the end of SSC iirc? Maybe TK/Hyjal-ish? Been too long) at least that could crank big numbers. On the rare occasions we’d guild BG after raids, I’d just stay Destro, hide behind everyone and launch massive bolts lol. SL was just so so SO boring to play, but pretty much mandatory for arena.
Nobody is getting defensive, you said:

Which is just wrong in every sense. BFA Destro known for globaling people, SL/SL known for great survivability and slowly killing people. They’re not even remotely similar outside of being a Warlock.

I was under the impression the bow just made you straight up hit harder because it had like 3 tiers of ammo up from anything
I know they did wild pve damage
Can’t remember the bow too well it pvp because I really didn’t see it too often
Barely anyone had it and barely any Hunters PvP’d in BC cause the class was completely niche (drain comps).
The bow’s effect make it so you no longer need ammo without being balanced around ammo accounting for part of your weapon damage.
the ladder on endless has r1 currently as rsham ret, followed by two lock teams, then another rsham ret, followed by rogue druid, then rogue lock.
There’s preists, warriors, and mages further down the front page. The vast majority of classes are Rdruids, Warlocks, and Rogues.
For 2s. (In S4)
WLS and other LS comps seem to dominate 3s. there’s some paladins in the top 5.
While private servers aren’t the best indicator of what a live meta will look like, it does provide insight into what people are currently playing among the most passionate TBC players.
sl/sl lock with good pve trinkets with a resto druid and a skillherald warrior. good game
I’m hoping it doesn’t matter much to 95% of players that aren’t going for rank 1.
I was on a really, really bad battlegroup in TBC, but I hit glad in 2s as double frost mage in s2 and s3… so I’m hoping its not RMP WLD or bust for 3s now that players aren’t omegabad like they were back then.
Yeah especially with RMP. Like if you look at the tool kit of RMP in BC, it is completely insane, and players are infinity better now. I feel like it will straight up delete a huge number of comps from existence due to cookie cutter 100% win rate strats that only a few comps will be able to worm their way out of.
Guess we’ll see though. The opposite could be true where players make all kinds of things work, which would be the dream. Also, blizz ‘could’ just include balance changes in their #somechanges… i wouldn’t care if they gave sensible buffs to some of the weaker classes. Can’t take the whole thing too seriously anyway, so who cares
