    You can debate the degree % it matters, but it is fact that having 100% uptime is an advantage over all other casters. Does that mean the spec is inherently busted? Of course not!
    I dont have to debate how much it matters, I can look at top dungeon content and see that it clearly doesn't matter as much as people say it does in these conversations. If it did, if free movement was the be all end all then BM hunters would dominate keys, and even more as you go higher, where massive packs exponentially increase the necessary movement and the large pack size plays well with their uncapped aoe, and yet the data does not reflect that.

    At the level of play where the movement is a massive boon no one's playing super well, and at the top levels you stop seeing many hunters, cuz when the hits get heavy they all fall over.

    Never seen a hunter solo mythic content, or seen 5 hunters go clear mythic+ without healers. Other classes literally break the game and dont' get a nerf. There is no justification for us being the rock bottom dps.

    Warlock? throw dots and watch the boss melt or just spam chaos bolt
    Mage? Just spam fireball and sometimes pyro
    the list goes on.
    Demo and bm have the advantage of just hiding and let the pets kill you. Thats frustrating.

    Mages dont even come close to this.

    It seems there's been a fresh 32.5% nerf to BM today, an amazing ONE day into the new season, let's see how it affects our damage.

    Funny to read this thread knowing that all hunter specs are the bottom now.

    Bottom of what? A particular boss?

    Not on the bottom of overall or on the two end bosses. BM has among the most parses overall and on most bosses as well.

    Hunter (mostly BM) also has competitive play percentages at 20-25 and 25+ keys as well.

    "I'm curious to hear your thoughts on the recent BM nerfs. Do you feel like they've balanced the character effectively, or have they gone too far? What specific aspects of BM do you find frustrating or overpowered?"

    It's Blizzard's retarded balancing theory.

    Mobile things must have low damage and/or low survivability.

    VERY mobile things must do VERY low damage and/or be VERY squishy.


    Since Hunters aren't really that squishy, it means it's the dps that suffers. Ergo fully mobile hunters do very low damage.

    Not sure about PvP, but in regards to PvE, ask the following question: Does it make the spec unviable? If no, not a problem, easier the spec, should do less damage. If yes, that's a problem, all classes and specs should be viable for all content.

    BM is S tier in solo casual PVP like warmode, 1v1 and soloing in bgs.

    I started the expansion as MM because I think MM is more fun tbh, but when it comes to 1v1 fights, especially against melee, MM is kinda boned. 1v2 is impossible as MM against equally geared and competent opponents.

    MM has to stand still too much, and focus regen is too slow. These are the main things I consider to be the reasons as to why MM is not very good at soloing compared to BM, and certain melee like warriors, rogues, ferals, can immune your cc or just eat it and still stick to you like glue until you flop over, and unholy dks...LOL, once they pop their zoo you're done.

    But then I tried BM too, and tbh...it's like playing an entirely different class. 1v1 is a breeze as BM, and also 1v2 is very much available. You're not chunking people like MM but the damage is very much there.

    BM is technically a remote-controlled melee, you're not dragged down by slow resource regen nor do you have to stand and cast anything, and you can do your full damage on the move. And if there is a really tough opponent, just pop cheetah and stay away while your pets slowly eat them.

    MM only excels at chunking people while safe behind a wall of meatshields. As soon as you're caught in the open by a melee, you're done.

    When it comes to PVE, BM sucks major donkey balls at aoe, which is way it's totally unacceptable in M+, and then I'm forced to play MM.
