We did just get a nerf to pet damage by 25% It's fine. Keep pew pewing hunters!

[@kMhah]

How many hour ago was this nerf

[@Smidztv]

It wasn't a nerf, it was a confirmation of a change in how pets scale that's already in the game but not previously communicated.

Question from a noob... For the macro's, are those pet abilities tha basic for all kind of pets or do i need to put the actual abilities of my pet in them?

So on bosses in raids with set do you use Single Target or AOE(Raiding)? I cant tell if you said AOE and Raiding or AOE in Raiding

I use ELV Ui.

[@MantampahTV]

Hi, I really loved your content. I am new to WoW and mostly play Tank characters in every mmo. What class or hero would you recommend for someone like me? Thanks ❤

[@stillsolo]

Depends on a lot of things. Every tank plays differently. Do you like to be more self sufficient? Blood DK is good. Right now Vengeance DH is in a good spot.

[@MantampahTV]

@@stillsolo Appreciate your reply. Thank you

[@haroundarwiche7673]

with the new tier based on dire beast if u have 4 set shouldnt u be taking dire beast talent for m+ too since dire beast now obeys kill command and can cleave? coz its 20 sec cooldown rather than just having dire beast when u bestial wrath?

[@stillsolo]

Sim it and see if that talent does more dps

[@werbistdudenn4230]

dumb question, should i paste the ,acros with the ( #showtooltip Cobra Shot ) or just start at cast ...

[@stillsolo]

yeah "#showtooltip Cobra Shot" should be the 1st line

[@LorcrystNySell]

That bit of "code" just forces the macro to display the actual icon of the skill used, instead of a question mark or having to dig the icon yourself. Silly, but time-saving !

[@CuthiePatootie]

Is the ST spec basically ONLY for raid fights without cleave or aoe? Feels weird not having multishot.

[@stillsolo]

Pretty much

[@user-cf1vc1xc1b]

Hi, what is the name of addon that shows You in the middle of the screen Your rotation?

[@stillsolo]

I made a video on it! Hekili

[@Ollienks]

What add ons do you use to monitor frenzy and your rotation?

[@stillsolo]

It's a weak aura called frenzy tracker

[@alebaler]

Want to try something new on mythic+ and hunter seems fun, how hard is hunter to play? im used to melee rogue,warrior,dh and fire mage was way to hard for me to play when doing mechanics in higher keys. Will hunter be harder or easier to play then rogue, warrior, dh? if to advanced gameplay its hard doing it optimal and still do mechanics 100% perfect

[@stillsolo]

Hunter is easy

[@Psykrom]

Which covenant soulbind matters now? I don't see a single guide updated to Dragonflight mentioning this on the web.

[@stillsolo]

Because it's irrelevant

[@LorcrystNySell]

None at all for DF content, since they are inactive, but if you "go down" to SL, the old guides are still valid.

[@jonk2682]

You have dire beast in your single target rotation but dont have it in the single target talent tree?

[@stillsolo]

Just showing the rotation. You don't use direbeast for st if u don't have the 4 piece

Nope!

How do you get reticle on your character?

[@philippmaiweg1072]

How to use multishot + bloodshed if none of the skillsets is skilling both ? :D

[@stillsolo]

very carefully

[@levitabusman]

i have ppl complain that i dont have frenzy stacked at 3, how do i do that?

[@stillsolo]

The ability barbed shot when case will give your pet a buff called frenzy. This can stack up to 3 times. Its got a 9 sec duration so if you want to maintain that 3 stacks of frenzy on your pet you need to make sure you always press barbed shot within those 9 secs to keep the buff up

[@johnfolsom8131]

Where do I get the wa that’s telling you what to press in raid

[@stillsolo]

It's an addon hekili

[@user-fy7gv4pr8k]

Gf and I both have a BM hunter. Both are happy getting full raid finder and getting 460 ish and never swap specs. Mythic plus is literally less than 4 percent of the player base. But we do like finding out bis items and pets.

[@LorcrystNySell]

Some things I've found after playing my BM Hunter 4 to 8 hours per day for the last two years : Your pets will always have their backs to you when in a fight, so if an opponent puts a shield up on his front/whatever, try to move around so you and your pets are not hitting said shield. Thanks to datamining from the Wowhead Client, I could read the actual formula for the Misdirection talent : it only takes into account the damage you do yourself, NOT the damage of your pets ... and since your beasties do roughly two-thirds of the job, it''s an utter waste of a Talent point. For a Marksmanship Hunter, on the other hand, it's a must-have. And a little know trick, that I thought was a bug, but was confirmed as a feature after filling a report to Blizzard : the Call of the Wild Talent summons two of your active pets, plus a random pet from your stable, at least that's what written on the tooltip. A very important thing to know is that your "active pets" are those that you actually have with you and can summon, while the "summoned from your stable" are actually NOT the pets you have stashed away, but zoned-themed random pets. But here's the thing : for the 20 seconds duration of the Call of the Wild Talent, when you have two "active" pets out on top of your usual pair, you WILL benefit from their type special passive ability. So you really should try to always have a Ferocity, a Cunning and a Tenacity pet with you at all times, and not more, regardless of which one you actually summon, because you will benefit for the +15% Leech of the Ferocity''s Predator Thirst, the +12% Movement Speed for the Cunning's Pathfinding and the +8% max health from the Tenacity's Endurance Training. And all that DOES make a huge difference, if only for 20 seconds. I'm not a fan of always using a Spirit Beast as my main pet, because the "heal target X" ability is short-ranged and will default to the Tank or the closest character that takes the most damage and not yourself, and the active Fortitude of the Bear "only" increase your max health by 20% and heals you (and your pet) for that amount, in high-damage-intake situations it's simply not enough, with a rather long cooldown of 2 minutes on top of it. Exhilaration is much more reliable : while it does not boost your maximum amount of HP, it heals you for 30% of your max HP instead of 20%, and you actually can reduce the (same) 2 minutes cooldown on it just by doing your usual, natural rotation of spending Focus, all that meaning it's available much more often, AND does not depend on the type of pet you currently have summoned. After two years, I''ve found that the trickle-down of the Leech of my Ferocity pets (if they are at full HP, then their own Leech transfers to you) added to the 15% Leech of my own blank shots, Barbed Shots and Cobra Shots, combined with the various Bleed effects from several Talents that also activate the Leech passive, actually heal me much more over a Mythic+ dungeon or Raid than hitting the Fortitude of the Bear every two minutes (if needed, of course). 20% more health, and that amount healed instantly looks very nice, but in practice, in situations where you can lose more than half of your HPs in a single blast, it''s nowhere near enough. And yes, the Leech is not enough either, in those situation your best strategy is to be elsewhere, use the defensives with their horrendously long cooldowns, or have enough Versatility to mitigate damage while gritting your teeth, popping a heal potion, and hoping for the best. Avoidance is a trap in most of those situations : it only works on non-targeted AoE damage, per the formula datamined from the Wowhead client, and those high-damage blasts ARE targeted, on top of that Tiertiary stat being a completely random bonus sometimes added to a looted item. Not reliable enough, and not availabel enough, to really make a difference.

[@stillsolo]
