REVISION: I am not happy with how I approached the MM Tier Set Change: A crucial context for that change is that Precise Shots now only has 1 stack in Patch 11.0.5. The Tier Set change is mostly to ensure that it still basically functions, given that change. The 10>20% buff ensures that we at least have similar numbers. It is still a practical DPS benefit assuming they fix the bug (if they don't, it's even worse than before).
Also you only need to use one global to get the full benefit of the tier set with this change instead of two, that’s better, I’ll wait for you to tell me if I’ll need to play around it though 👊🏻
Agreed, not terrible. I for one really appreciate your dedication to making us better players and removing the stigma attached to hunters. Also nice to see you get excited about these changes.
i wish some changes were in a hotfix instead of a patch change so we don't have to wait months for us to do m+ but it's still good that they are tuning bm
So I guess they don’t intend for any spec to play Pack Leader. The fact BM AoE was released in the state it is in and effectively left to rot until 2 months into the xpac is a sick joke. They got feedback on it in beta and did nothing. Also, why are they not outright deleting Basilisk collar?
Pack leader being left in the state its in currently is honestly ridiculous, give survival players that hate Sentinel (most people, no?) another option and make it actually do something for BM other than just being a kick to the groin. 30% dps decrease for my badly geared hunter... Only badly geared because of the absolute state that hero talents are in, can't stomach playing it.
Having played since Vanilla and played hunter since WotLK, Azor you are the biggest help to come along for hunters ever. Tarlo and others are definitely fantastic too but you are solely standing at the top. Thank you for the efforts you put into making videos and tutorials for us!! I absolutely agree and laughed when you quickly slipped in "it could have happened sooner thought." OMG so f'ing true!! It's disgusting that they nerfed bm's aoe into the ground to tune st and let it go through the first 6ish weeks of the new expansion. It's also disgusting that they continue to not fix the bug with MM's arcane shot not applying it's benefit to aimed shot... like WTF, it's such a huge dps loss for st.
Thanks for always doing such a great job with these videos and taking your time to explain each change in depth. You’ve always been an amazing person for the Hunter community. Keep up the amazing work!!
Thanks for the video Azor! It's great to be inspired to feel some hope that things with improve soon. Always appreciate your thoughts and insights and the ease with which you communicate things.
The changes to Rhythm present a situation where BM could become extremely gear dependent. At lower haste values worrying about the uptime of Rhythm could become very laborious. Additionally, pooling focus for burst aoe, as is required in some encounters, could become extremely punishing.
Great video, thanks so much for posting and helping fellow hunter mains understand these changes. BM Multishot, was there ever a more pointless spell/button? Like you say 300% of a small number is still a small number, this spell to me is an obvious fix, you don't use at all in ST, you have to press it in AoE, ergo make it do actual damage [5% overall] and/or have it do something as well as Beast Cleave.
Thank you for talking about how bad multi-shot feels to push! I sometimes feel crazy because people assume since BM is so easy with so few buttons, it must be for you even if the AOE damage rotation isnt fun. I get multi-shot makes kill command AOE but like you said, Multi-shot itself just feels so bad to push and you have to push it so often, even with the talent that helps kill command extend your beast cleave duration
It is neesh or nee'sh.. these are really awesome videos and like one of the other commenters mentioned I wish the changes would come sooner because it is kind of hard already to get in a key because of the AOE damage that is lacking, but really looking forward to the changes and seems like we are on a roll...I do like the comment though that 300% of a small number isn't really that much lol. Nice job Sir!!
I just did it on BM, but I feel like that Survival change on AoE could be very huge on first boss of mythic with all the small adds during intermission
I fully agree. But Basilisk Collar is gonna be an issue even at 2/4%. It has to be changed entirely IMO. Maybe have it empower dire beast to sometimes send out a Basilisk that does cleave?
i never knew about the arcane shot error, always casted it inmediatly after every aimed shot, now i feel like an idiot, thanks a lot for pointing it out, amazing guide and xplanation
im still not happy with mm set bonus. the overall damage gain is a joke. i paased on every tier token so far, cause i know the raid benefits a lot more if someone else gets his tier bonus.
Honestly they should just change beast cleave into a stance that you toggle on and off. On makes your pet do less damage but makes it cleave/aoe. Multishot feels horrible and maintaining beast cleave on top of your rotation just feels awful.
Right direction, but tab targeting deathblow procs to spinkle DAs around while maintaining BC and slamming BSs with KC rotations is gonna feel clunky inside the 6 second beast cleave window. Getting rid of multishot for BM and replacing it with a passive beast cleave talent would make the aoe rotation a bit less chaotic.
@@Azortharion That’s sad. I really like the gameplay of Wailing arrow with the RF resets in raid. The normal gameplay loop in m+ just doesn’t quite scratch that itch in M+
So excited for changes! Do you think they will work on Pack Leader too? Dark Ranger looks amazing for the patch but I hope PL will also have it's spot sometime :)
Ive been a hunter main since legion but this xpac i rerolled because of how hunter looked like at the start of the xpac. Is it too late to swap back to hunter and be competitive azortharion?

They should just delete multishot from BM, its only purpose is to activate cleave why do they keep trying to buff it?

I fully agree. But Basilisk Collar is gonna be an issue even at 2/4%. It has to be changed entirely IMO. Maybe have it empower dire beast to sometimes send out a Basilisk that does cleave?
I’m so happy I’ll be able to go back to BM. Sv is fun but heart is in BM. And as for multi shot to be a good button that 300 needs a few more zeros.
More often than not I hear "knee-sch" anyway I'm officially pogging over the .5 changes, can't wait :D

Muito boa sua explanação sobre as mudanças que estão por vir para nos Caçadores, principalmente BM, que é a minha main spec desde sempre.
Buffing 1 dmg by 300% is still crap :D
'niche" comes from french and is pronounced "neesh"
Niche rhymes with leash
if you dont multi dot on bm your doing it wrong, barbed shot on every mob into multi
@@Gateseleven That's only one dot, you're still missing many others.
Neesh
How are SV changes looking? As much as i see blizz decided to keep us a rare spec
Positive, especially for AoE.
I think it's "kneesh"
Right direction, but tab targeting deathblow procs to spinkle DAs around while maintaining BC and slamming BSs with KC rotations is gonna feel clunky inside the 6 second beast cleave window. Getting rid of multishot for BM and replacing it with a passive beast cleave talent would make the aoe rotation a bit less chaotic.
it really isn't that hard lol
BM hunter wanting their rotation dumbed down even more OMEGALUL
BM and MM are still gonna be braindead to play, dont you worry
If sv got this changes. Haste will lose more value and crit rises?
Crit is already above Haste in most scenarios. Mastery still dominates for SV, that is very unlikely to change from any of this.
awesome stuff now they need to give a little love to Pack Leader
great video love to see all the hunter love coming from Blizz about time ! and thank you for doing what you do for the hunter community !
I just want nothing more than wailing arrow benefitting from trickshots.
They have explicitly made a change that says it no longer consumes it, so we now know for sure that they intend for Wailing Arrow to not benefit.
@@Azortharion That’s sad. I really like the gameplay of Wailing arrow with the RF resets in raid. The normal gameplay loop in m+ just doesn’t quite scratch that itch in M+
Ooooo these changes to BM look great! Thanks for explaining it all!
Love it, can't wait to try out the new BM and dark ranger changes!
always love watching your takes on these changes, tyvm
What an epic video, my DPS 10x'd thanks
Still wish Barbed Shot damage rolled over....
Nee-sh... but I am Australian so I wouldn't bank on my English.
So excited for changes! Do you think they will work on Pack Leader too? Dark Ranger looks amazing for the patch but I hope PL will also have it's spot sometime :)
Possibly? Pack Leader felt even more undercooked than Dark Ranger at launch so it wouldn't shock me.
You are great!

When can we expect 11.0.5?
Late October, early November. Thereabouts.

Ive been a hunter main since legion but this xpac i rerolled because of how hunter looked like at the start of the xpac. Is it too late to swap back to hunter and be competitive azortharion?
It is not too late to swap back, gearing is pretty straightforward and the season is young.
Yea, way too late. Best to start your hunter prog before 22 years old.
