Why not just add it to the catalyst. Also, the buffs show how crazy the difference is between not having it and having it.
I personally don’t want ANY MORE unique bows for hunters off the last boss that make it so if you don’t have it you can’t get into raids. Not like you could in the first place, all the raids are labeled “no hunters!” because everyone and their mother is fighting to get it. The numbers between having it and not having it is appalling. It’s a straight BL for the duration of the fight especially if you have the technique trinket with it.

A single piece of gear should not give that much of a dps increase, even if they added it to the catalyst.

The bow was basically a 3rd tier piece bonus, they should’ve added it to the catalyst.

Unless each class/spec had a weapon with an equip that blizz balanced them around, nah. I would prefer the bow nerf with the added buff to our damage as the buff to dmg is greater than that of the bow, at least for BM.

It’s not legendary, it’s a purple item, and correct me if I’m wrong, but you didn’t have to have those weapons to be competitive. You have to have the bow right now to be competitive in dps.
My warrior needs the bow off Raz. It’s a DPS increase.

Competitive with who? What is this lmao.
Omg the item that drops from the boss is too powerful
Hunters deserve no more cool items they can’t handle it
Meanwhile, evoker staff go brrrrr
If you want to progress in m+ or mythic raiding, you need that bow.
And yes, please. I don’t want any more rare weapons. Let ANY other class have it for a change. (except for lock since I plan on maining that next season) I am all for letting people feel how bad it feels with week after week of RNG hating you.
Because it’s a lot easier to just tune the numbers like a knob on a machine than to actually design an efficient acquisition method which by the way, they have already figured out from patch 7.3.
A melee dps would never do this.
Oh no I didn’t get the bis weapon so the people who got it are bad and wrong nerf them 
Sorry you didn’t get loot and now you want everyone’s items to be nerfed
I swear this community finds new ways to be awful every single day
If it was a glaive, you would be calling for the heads of the devs that made the mistake, be honest.

Question: “Why nerf the bow?”
Answer:
I’m not sorry that you didn’t have to try for the bow and you got lucky with RNG?
If it wasn’t such a dps increase, then fine whatever, but the fact that it’s a straight-up 10k dps increase isn’t balanced at all.
Wouldn’t be so bad if there was a deterministic way of earning the bow without relying on pure RNG…
Honestly, I think the main problem is that Blizzard doesn’t want Hunters to feel they have to keep killing Razegeth for the bow even after the next raid is released because it’s still better than any weapon in that raid. And they most likely don’t want to make it so every Hunter has it (or has to get it in some way, easy or not), and has to keep using it throughout the expansion, either.
This is literally the same situation as Legiondaries. We’re going in circles and being messed with, AGAIN. Just add the freaking vendors like they did with Legiondaries at the end of Legion, so people can actually bypass the RNG mechanic and obtain the item!
For all of Legion, NOBODY had an issue with using one of the legendaries for the entire expansion; the issue was the ACQUISITION. This is the same concept! It may have purple text, but I guarantee if it was colored orange people would be saying something different.
They should allow all classes to use a bow. Warlock shoots fel arrow. Mage shoots fire arrow. Warrior shoots draconium arrow. Rogue shoots invisible arrow. Druid shoots furry arrow. Shaman shoots noodly arrow. So on and so forth. Only then will it be fair.
