Not my problem, then change to BM or something. Its silly that BM have been unchanged and will be unchanged all the way to the middle of The War Within and then MAYBE they will do something.- Reply
- BM hunters should be at the bottom of the pack considering how braindead it is. Originally Posted by stoffe

- So, i have to go and download a mod just to be able to play my spec properly. Not even like, to make it easier, but to really be able to play it at all. Why is this ok to you? You don't think the class should be playable out of the box? Originally Posted by stoffe
Just get a WA or a addon for it? Until they add it to UI. WA/addon is most of the time better then blizzard putting in something them self in the default UI
Lets take holy power and make it just a buff. It doesn't need a UI right? It's just some stacks of a buff right? How about soul shards, those don't need a UI, it's just some stacks again. Why do these incredibly simple things get UI's, but something that requires knowing what you have and how long, no UI. Makes no f*cking sense.

- You literally can just play RtB with no WA. What you personally want to do is be told when your buffs are good or not so that you can maximally perform at the class, not "just play" it. RtB buffs aren't invisible without a weakaura, they're in your buff bar, and you can make a decision whether they're what you want or not. Originally Posted by Dackstrus

tl;dr RtB without a WA is just a skill issue

- Not my problem. Maybe you should change spec to marksman. BM hunter is in a MUCH MUCH better state than where survival is. Last time I checked BM does not req using older tier set. With a -20/30 ilvl to do better damage. On a spec that's already underperforming. And on top of all that hunters have very poor survivability. Now use gear with low stamina/Vers on top of the already poor survivability just to do average damage... And to be ignored for weeks after weeks for a average buff that's still a nerf to what the set SV hunters actually voted for. Originally Posted by stoffe

- For M+ BM was brokenly overpowered since week2 and it took a lot of specs 520+ ilvl to be competitive against the absurd pet + weapon ilvl scaling BM got. Originally Posted by stoffe

Any other class or spec in the game would have been nerfed via hotfix in week2+, just be glad that blizzard is not nerfing popular specs and especially not ranged specs, because of its impact for raid tuning.
That you dare to ask for buffs is ridiculous and shows that you dont play the game.

Oh buff for enhancement. It was indeed very weird to get better gear in the last patch and dps being stable or just a slight bump in +10 mythics..Very annoying and getting bullied from randoms about it. Ofc they wouldnt use a single gcd for aoe stuns/interrupts or group assist but still it was annoying.
Amazing of Blizzard to fix our dps :P in the end of the expansion- Reply
