Just stop reworking classes and specs if you’re going to IMMEDIATELY gut them the following week.
You are admitting in your post by saying “Dark Ranger is overperforming in single target” that you are using data from when a bug with Black Arrow was active to make these balancing decisions. Black Arrow literally hits equal to an arcane shot and it’s damage over time effect is laughable. 32k damage over 10 seconds. And this ability needs to be nerfed how?
Making a knee jerk balancing decision that amounts to a complete gutting of the hero talent literally 1 week after it went live and basing that decision on data from when it was bugged is grossly incompetent.
I won’t go into addressing the BM tuning decisions being made Tuesday because I would violate TOS if i gave my honest opinion on the class balance team based on that spec.

All that needs to be said on the topic.
Complete and utter emberassment by the development team. Such a shame.

Balancing decisions being made based on bugs.
Black Arrow was allowed to be bugged for 48 hours before it was fixed and then data from that bug was used to determine balancing.

Guys we wanted a rework; they did a bunch of changes and they’re hotfixing problems. Let’s just give them a minute. I know its a competitive environment but it’s not even been a week yet.
They fixed a mastery bug that was dramatically inflating MM’s damage with Dark Ranger. It’s already underperforming since the bug fix. Are they buffing the damage back to a good level next reset? No, they’re nerfing it based upon damage numbers recorded when the bug was still in effect.
Blizzard should have considered this upcoming patch a minute. Dark Ranger MM is dead in the water, and it’s not even been a week yet.

Not even been a week. Correct. So then why are we getting sweeping nerfs to Marksman? A spec already struggling?
