BM hunters nerfed again.

[Wilfire]

BM hunter representation in 3v3: 2.8%

BM hunter representation in RBGs: 0.9%

Blizzard's response:

Beast Mastery Agility reduced by 10% in PvP.

Developers’ Notes: We’ve found Beast Mastery damage to be too high, but we don’t feel that it’s due to any specific ability or mechanic, so we’re reducing the overall PvP template.

Have you even played BM in arenas?

Their burst is literally insane an the only reason why not so many people play is that anyone who's raiding is playing MM. BM is by far the best arena spec..

Mobility, burst, utility. BM GOT EVERYTHING!


In rbgs you play MM due to the MM-mechanics. RBG is about AoE-damage. The sidewinders+vulnerable+marked shot mechanic is literally made ofr dealing huge chunks of aoe damage. Stop crying if you clearly have no idea what you are talking about.

Blizzard's response:

BM's damage in PvP was extreme regardless of their representation. Stop whining.

Calling out stupid isn't whining. They buffed BW by 5% and said they couldn't figure out where they nerf BM Hunters so they just made a flat AGI nerf on top of the other AGI nerf earlier.

Outside of BM Burst DPS they don't have very good sustained ST DMG. Secondly Hunters dont have a lot to work with CC wise and their mobility was just nerfed in a already Melee centric environment.

Also please use your head in the future instead of just saying "stop whining". BM burst dmg isn't that extreme compared to other classes. If they had this OMG EXTREME DMG they wouldn't be that low represented. Everyone would be rolling with them if they had that great of DMG, thats how comps work and that is how you get high representation if it were that good. Instead they are not and Hunters continue to be the punching bag of the expansion.

Why nerf a bottom tier spec? So confused. BM was already trash for arena before this nerf. Did you maybe confuse BM hunters with Enhance shamans?

Seeing as how Enhance also got nerfed I'm gonna go and say no.

[PvP] tag or something next time, the title is highly misleading

Yeah. OP is probably a only PVP player so when he speaks about things PvE is never in his mind at all, typical PvPer mindset that PvE is irrelevant

Yes cuz every pve'r tags their thread [PvE]

This is a primarily PvE site which is why there is a completely different section on the forums called "PvP"

Theres an entire section titled [Raid and Dungeons] too

I think its ok, BM was really strong in Arena, and i bet he still is (compared to other range dps specs that is)

But i also wonder how much of that numbers are, BMs with stampede+hawk and "bad" melee players eating it/hitting into turtle xD

well played

There are parking spots for residents-only, do we need to mark all the other parking spots as "for everyone"?
This is how WoW is working. The game is built around PvE and scaling changes are made to PvP. Blizzard made it pretty clear this expansion ^_^

[Wilfire]

Well, it's actually a PvE nerf too. Shamans can faceroll into arena and get cheap 880 gear and then dominate in raids. Hunters can't.

BM hunter representation in 3v3: 2.8%

BM hunter representation in RBGs: 0.9%

Blizzard's response:

So you think 2,8 % representation is unacceptable when there are 36 specs?

[Wilfire]

So you think 2,8 % representation is unacceptable when there are 36 specs?

The diabolical resto shamans have 10% representation. Vengeance demon hunters have sacrificed everything but have only 0%. Representation is not divided equally among specs.

[OperationFerret]

I wasn't really looking forward to another 5 BM Hunter 5v5 meta (as was the case in TBC and WOTLK) so I think that Blizzard is really stepping up to the plate by balancing PvP before these ridiculous trends emerge.

[Deleted]

Not sure if you are joking 5bm hunters in 5v5 was never competitive at anything other then trash tier ratings.

BM has only burst.. its a horrible choice to nerf it further

[OperationFerret]

Next you are going to say that 5 DKs was never viable either and that Cataclysm was your first WoW expansion.

Educate yourself on the history of WoW PvP then maybe we can have a discussion.
