Update: They just fixed a chunk of the "overbuff" that BM got, which puts BM in a more reasonable spot. We are waiting to see if they will also address the 8% aura buff that made it to live despite not being on PTR, or whether we get to keep that. I will update the guide's "best spec" section tomorrow when I wake and a follow-up video will also come tomorrow.

For BM PL in M+ in your IV guide you have the stat priority as Crit>Haste, but the Wowhead guide says Mastery>Crit=Haste. Which is correct? Also, how far behind MM Sent is BM PL in keys now? Thanks

Very good. Well done blizz. Lets leave it as it is for rest xpac and rework it again. This seems like blizzard will do If i am being honest. Their understanding how things works and how to balance it out its ridicoulus. Was hoping to DR to be go to or rework for this stupid bird but ye I can dream on, not going to happend but well atleast we have new animation. How cool it will look when tank goes with mobs and your sentinel will fly around and shouting "get mobs here bro". GGS

Your videos are always a great help and an excellent starting point for those of us looking to improve as hunters. I hope that one day you can add Spanish subtitles to your videos.

I've moved to PL for my SV and I was concerned about the survivability mainly due to losing the 10% shield from Sentinel, but Den Recovery actually does a lot to be a defensive CD, I hadn't realize it gives 20% HP healing too. PL also shifted more damage to my pet and that actually makes me feel I have less downtime as when I have to play keepaway, my pet doesn't and can stay in range much like how BM is funnily enough.
@Azortharion3 ай бұрын
I am glad you are enjoying PL. Pack Leader loses far too much Howl of the Pack uptime in keys to be worth using for competitive content (and Den Recovery is just worse than Don't Look Back).

Hello @azortharion - sorry to bother you but is it possible that too much crit and not enough versatility/haste/mastery can affect my average dps? I do crazy opening AoE dps on big packs in 10-11 keys but i feel like i lack something to keep it high and steady over 1.5. sometimes i manage but mostly its 1.1-1.2 million total dps. Without any buffs i have around 40% critical and approx 44-45% with pots , oil etc. when i see very good hunters in 13-14 keys they have less than 40% for sure. I am marksmanship

Blizz just do things and then react to the changes they made AFTER the fact if they worked or didn't. I mean, the rumors of Blizz not having a Hunter class developer and also not really having a proper testing team have been floating around for a while. Based on this, at least one of those rumors has to be true, if not both.

@Azortharion With the latest nerf to our Kill Command, will BM still be the worst spec/class in M+? Or did we "gain" anything from the rework?
