Glad I get to return to BM and the gear for MM and BM are interchangeable. Hated being forced to MM because "more dps".
Leave SW as it is now. and keep those changes. And i will be happy.
Well, doesnt matter which talent they make baseline in that tier whether stomp or chimera shot will be a dps increase for bm in future, chimera shot would help bm's cleave damage which it lacks a lot. In addition, chimera shot hits for 180 pct wp dmg, it was 625 pct when it was in mm's arsenal. cant imagine it with a significant dmg buff
I dunno what to say anymore, I'm honestly tired of this...
This is currently what my view on Hunter is: (through multiple expansions)
1. Patch or Exp gets released.
2. My current spec gets reworked/changed.
3. Hate it.
4. Learn to like it or change specs.
5. Finally get use to the new changes or spec.
6. Start over at step 1.
Same shit... Different day...
I just dont get it anymore. Im tired...
It's really weird that they went this far. I mean, this is PTR and shit, it's probably a part of a bigger change, but they basically said they wouldn't try to go for power shifts between specs. Which makes sense with Artifact Power, and well, the fact that all the people who would only play the best spec are already doing it. If this change forces people to actually play BM or SV it's gonna be weird.
I think they want MM to excel in singel target dps while keep BM strong @ AOE
A post on EU official hunter forums reports an increased proc chance for marking targets.. If that is true (Which is very uncertain since it's only one guy on the PTR reporting it) it might balance out some of the missed RNG.. He claimed he would often refresh vulnerability before it ends, thus getting a sick Marked Shot close to the end of the Vulnerable debuff..
Either way, excited to see what changes are comming in the next couple of days.. For example Freezing Arrow in the pvp tree is somewhat (not eentierly) redundant now that MM gets Freezing Trap baseline.. I'm soo hoping Master's Call will take it's place in the PvP tree...
My biggest fear is having to spam ArS back-to-back several times... Spamming instant casts is not good design imo.. The Steady Focus talent is making me anxious..
No major rework of BM? This spec is so embarrassing...
so guys, get this...
> ptr patchnotes gets released, MM like the hindenburg.

So currently i got boots and belt for MM specc, and you´re trying to tell me blizzard is not trying to prank me in the worst manner?
He probably never used anything but sidewinders and doesn't now that the proc rate is higher with ArS/Multi.
New sidewinders is pretty much dead because it was primaly used to apply Vulnerability. If it doesn't do that, it's pretty much useless imho. The rotation gets awkward and you couldn't even use additional Mark procs because the CD is too long anyway.
Just make sure you show your outrage on the ptr forums and twitter
don't sit down and do nothing, or else we'll just have three useless specs
I wouldn't worry about numbers too much, there's enough hunters and the massive nerdrage will get noticed by Blizz.
Look at warlocks, they collectively lost their minds about their numbers and some of their specs got buffed and are really strong. Gameplay might still suck but they can't change that easily.
