Legion BM or BFA BM?

[Tyze]

Which do you prefer?

Personally I found Legion more fun.

[Pigglix]

Bfa bm for sure. Because we got to use our weapons more instead of being some sort of zookeeper only shouting orders to the pets.

[Bullerick]

BFA. Same reason as above poster. You actually use your weapon more. I was so tired of all the shouting, whistling and pointing animations lol. A bit like how Arms warrior was just constantly shoulder tackling everything in the midst of sword to sword combat.

They play so similar that I don't see what the big difference in fun would be. Instead of sending pets you shoot arrows with dots, everything else is pretty much the same.
Thanks to corruption we now are more powerful than at the end of Legion, and while being powerful obvioulsy also increases the fun that's not hunter gameplay related.

[Tyze]

We didn't have frenzy in Legion baseline

[Queen of Hamsters]

Legion, if I had to choose.

[docterfreeze]

Legion had 100 yard range, no LoS requirement kill command and dire frenzy, BfA doesn't. Easy choice.

pretty much this, they are the same thing.
I miss parsel's tongue build with spawning max pets for cobra damage, but ultimately they are the same spec and 90% of the same playstyle

TBC BM. Get out that Beastmacro Hunter again!

[keyone01]

BW wasn't on gcd in Legion so... yeah.

So THIS.... LEGION HANDS DOWN

[Rehija]

Legion, hands down. It was so extremely smooth to play. No downtimes, no stress, always something to do. And, OH GOD ! We could play Arena and have Fun ? Cant have that ! Hunters should ALYWAYS ! be the victim class in arena !

And in BFA we have Barbed Shot . . . . . . . . . . . .

Oh good I'm not the only one feeling stressful whilst playing current BM.

Focus cap happens often with aspect due to essence.
Keep frenzy (not that stress for me)
Can't cast Cobra shot on 2.5 sec left on KC, might go focused capped because of this, maybe not.
Barbed Shot resets at high focus, gotta press it. Will get focus capped..

Ah.. doesn't have a smooth rotation imo

just because you cap focus doesn't mean the playstyle isn't smooth, BFA despite the fact you have less means you can focus more in what's going on around you. I enjoy more this way than looking at my cds.

[Feanoro]

Neither, I want to play a hunter, not a pet support specialist spaz jumping around.

[Lubefist]

Can't find a point in time when BM was fun.

[Hellspawn]

I did not play BM in Legion but if it was more about pet buffing compared to BFA, I prefer BFA.

[MatthewOU2015]

Only reason I voted BFA is dance of death+ crit build + haste build. Its insanely spammy but fun!

[Rehija]

Can't find a point in time when BM was fun.

During BC, Pandaria and Legion. Send your Pet on a Warlock, Pop CD's, Sit and watch your pet eat the damn WL

[gushDH]

At this point they are practically the same. Barbed shot resets so often that you do not really need to manage the Frenzy buff, so it is again a spamfest.
