When are hunters going to get some love?

BM slaps in PvP, but it is crap in PvE.
I’m okay with one of the easiest specs being medicore dps wise though

Very funny coming from someone PLAYING SURVIVAL with green parses in normal.
anyone that says bm is the easies spec in the game is clueless, stop parrotting bad youtubers.

What would the easiest class/spec be? Destro?

Has anyone dethroned Havoc Demon Hunter as the easiest spec to play yet?

Beyond that, speaking only from personal experience, I have found Destro Lock, Elemental Shaman, Shadow Priest, Unholy DK, Frost DK, and Arms Warrior to be easier than BM. Mostly because they’re just straightforward in how they work and you’d have to really mess up to do poorly.

Specs I’ve found to be more difficult than BM; Outlaw Rogue, Demo Lock, Marks Hunter, and Devoker. Each has their own reasons for being on this list, but mostly has to do with RNG, reacting to procs, and how one flubbed key can screw everything up. I’m getting older and my reflexes aren’t what they used to be.

As far as BM itself, I think BM is incredibly easy to play, but so much harder to master than people want to admit. When people say BM is easy, they generally mean they can go out into the open world and not worry about dying.

In end-game content, however, BM is a lot of micromanagement. The ability to move without interrupting our rotation is intended to make us mechanics monkeys. BM Hunters are routinely chosen to deal with mechanics in raid encounters, which is why so many high end players are upset at our lack of defensives and self-sustain.

Retribution paladin.
hands down.
And the class actually being “easy” to play by not having any sort of stupid mechanic to cause downtime actually makes it very fun to play, its fluid.

Ah. I picked Destro because I mained Warlock for 12 years. Firsthand account aha.

Agree with most of what you said except this. With the talent tree re-vamp I think havoc is one of the harder specs to play now. Momentum build is meta and you have to micro manage all your little damage buffs to line up with essence break. Easy to mess that up… or to fel rush in bad and get killed.

They rather remove a pet we got to tame, vorquin foal, while allowing one tamed same way, mammoth, then care about helping hunters.

maybe thats why theyre making hunters so bad for so long. hoping people will stop playing the most played class

it sucks, im a hunter then i picked a necro in d4. im just taking all the fat L’s in blizzard games. swear to god

I am having a terrible time playing my hunter main since I returned to WoW for Dragonflight. BM specifically feels like garbage. I love the dual pets but otherwise no burst, weak AoE, the rotation is boring, defensive abilities are terrible and I am dying constantly in situations where much lower geared toons are doing fine. Our one main damaging cooldown - Kill Command, doesn’t feel great at all. I will always love my hunter as he is my OG main, but I find myself playing my ret pally so much more.
