I've been playing a lot of SV lately (until just recently it actually simmed higher than BM for me) and when I was comparing logs yesterday, I noticed that the vast majority of top parsing hunters are using Fervor or ToTH (with most using Fervor now) even in single target fights. Maybe this is just one of those weird things that I somehow missed the boat on, but when did that become the case?
I know that some hunters have been taking those from the start just for play style reasons, but is there any reason that nearly all of them are taking it now? I know Dire Beast still sims significantly higher for me (~2k), so I'm somewhat interested in the logic behind it.
