What was the actual point of the Dark Ranger rework?

DR dosent preform better for BM sadly. BM actually raids as pack leader now since the DR remake, talk about a boring hero tree.

Sounds like a simple fix to me… Lower trueshot bonus and increase base damage…

Ummm… because…

We’d rather you didn’t play Marksmanship.

Its very clear that there is a lack of testing on blizzards side, and a clear disconnect from the current state of Dark Runner for MM or even ranged hunters in general. Removing the flat damage to the two main abilities is cool and all, but you really need to add something to make up for that. There is a “very nice” choice node, one is shadow hounds, which rarely procs and does a fraction of what it used to before the rework or a useless talent that gives you a 10% chance to proc a black arrow if you kill a mob. Oh and there is a bug causing bleak powder doesn’t proc if it black arrow kills the target. It would be nice if you fixed both the bugs that make a class unplayable and the bugs that make the class stronger/viable.

Literally just revert dark ranger so its at least viable in single target for MM… I feel like BM said the same thing after you “tried” to give them aoe the week before 11.0.5 and told them to take a week off. Kind of goes to show the very real disconnect in trying to balance the ranged portion of hunter. I really hope we don’t see more BM multi-shot buffs coming. Really these poor decisions are not well received when it takes two sparks to craft a weapon to play survival if you don’t already have a polearm/staff.

I want Dark ranger to be viable as a marks pve equivalent not just a pvp spec, which is entirely possible

As a mage player we’re dealing with the same, spellslinger doesn’t have any fantasy but frostfire is lower dps.

I don’t want blizzard to fix spellslinger I want them to remove it for a completely different idea. And I want all hero classes across the board to be visually stimulating and drastically different from each other. Like frostfire frost and fire spells being entirely frostfire colored, etc.

Also dammit… Forums show my stupid lizard form lol

WTBB Venthyr Marks. Flayed Shot was the proverbial Black Arrow. I can’t tell if Vent or Necrolord MM was better, but I can say both Necro and Vent were indeed fine systems. Can we get those back as hero classes?

Blizzard tends to get on this trend where most class specs/talents start out defined and individualized upon initial release, then after multiple tunings they become homogenized and lose their identity.

It’s kind of like when we have a robust character creation and there’s a slider for every little detail on a characters face. You start out with a really great foundation, but you keep tweaking the look as time goes on. After a while your character looks completely different from the original and you can’t place your finger on what wrong… you click on the old OG preset and realize you’ve butchered the hell out of your character.

The point is to get youre hopes up, then take it away.

Nothing new.
