You turned MM hunter into a bad version of frost DK

Hello,

Since 11.0.5 MM hunter has lost a lot of sustained damage, and I mean a lot - 20% aimed/rapid fire, the 10% to all damage proc, the black arrow dot, the double precise shots, etc., and has gained a gimmicky Trueshot withering fire burst where RNG black arrows auto-fire themselves without you having done basically anything.

As a result, the playstyle is completely unsatisfying. You lack any pressure and buttons to press outside of trueshot, and during trueshot you either oneshot somebody (rarely) or no arrows proc and you don’t do much.

Then you try to run around and survive for a minute and a half until the next trueshot and hope for RNG again.

For as long as I’ve been playing WoW the thing about MM has always been that its damage is high and threatening even outside of CDs and you can do surprise swaps and sometimes land kills during a stun->trap even without Trueshot.

And the data speaks louder than words - MM is the least represented spec at 2.4K in shuffle, and 90% of the people who got 2.1K did it pre-11.0.5. Since then, there has been a steady decline in representation and win rate (just check Drustvar’s flavor of the month page)

I want to play MM hunter, not frost DK. I don’t want to run around, be useless, and wait for my big CDs for a minute and then do the gimmicky “big go” again. I want the damage profile the spec had for the past 3 years.

Thank you

ah, I was wondering how long it would take for representation to be used as the basis for this

They all re rolled BM due to the silly amount of dmg it can do, FOTM

And how is representation irrelevant in this case? Are you claiming it’s actually good, but no one is playing it for other reasons?

I never did, I remained faithful to MM.

Looking at representation by itself is irrelevant in every balance case.

IDK, but bm exists and plays itself, so its got a pretty high bar to beat.

i loved the fluidity of mm pre 11.0.5. everything felt so smooth. id had just taken some damage nerfs and kept it how it was. this play style now just feels horrible. id 100% play mm if it still felt viable in any way. but you can play perfect and still lose just cuz outside lucky rng during trueshot aura. there is just no damage. id say the ball was dropped at this point but that just feels like a complete understatement to whats going on currently.

How can it be a bad version of frost dk when frost dk is bad already?

Bro, keep your voice down or they’re gonna nerf chillstreak again by another 5%…

Probably gonna nerf it 20% next week anyway.

MM still has 40 yards range, so you have no clue what melees have to deal with these days.
