This is also why you should turn off Thunderstomp - Charge -> Thunderstomp can mean some possible aggro issues I believe.

Thunderstomp is different for BM compared to SV. 

For BM, it wastes a pet attack/uses pet focus that would be higher damage, whereas SV needs it to proc more charges of Mongoose Bite on AoE.

It doesn't generate enough threat to pull off the tank, especially if you misdirect on pull and generate enough threat to the tank.

I see! Thanks for helping to clarify that! :)

We've had a few questions in the past about pets dying without taunt and ended up tracing it back to their pets, but I assume those were just people playing incorrectly (either the tank or the Hunter!).

With the 2pc change to now include Dire Frenzy, Azor has updated the BM guide saying it is best for single-target damage; does this actually affect Kill Command damage? I was testing it out on about 4 hours of mythic Krosus prog and some time in my order hall and was never seeing an increase in Kill Command damage, and was still doing higher and more consistent dps with stomp.

For reference I don't have legendary shoulders but I do have 4pc, 2 pack & 1 jaws relics and both BiS trinkets.

I agree with you Luthixx. I have DPS wrists and helm legendary items, 2 pack with 1 swipes relics, and 2-piece tier. So far, all of my sims, dummy, and raid testing are showing Dire Frenzy to be a significant loss with the 2-piece (roughly 12k). I have, however, been able to get significant single target increases (roughly 8k), by using Way of the Cobra, Stomp, and Beastial Fury together (with typical crows and Killer cobra being used in all sims). What is funny as well is, this maintains stomp at all times and sims are almost identical in hectic/add cleave, so I can maintain this set-up without having to change talents, mid-raid, based on the fight. Very excited about this.

Question about the Pawn string provided for Beast Mastery

( Pawn: v1: "Beast Mastery": Agility=16.89, Ap=16.16, CritRating=11.79, HasteRating=13.23, MasteryRating=15.10, Versatility=11.31, Dps=7.01 )

What is Ap?

After importing it into Pawn to create a scale I looked at the stat weights, but could not see were the AP=16.16 affected anything.

Hi, 

After simming my character, these are my numbers

                            Haste    Crit        Agi       AP       Mastery    Vers    Wdps
Scale Factors    17.37    15.77    15.15    14.49    13.26    10.83    6.75

Doesn't haste seem excessively high? I have shoulders and belt legendaries, as well as the 2 piece so far.

Given that you're arguably one of the luckiest hunters in the game to have those legendaries, yes those sims are accurate as haste and crit start to pull ahead quite high when you have shoulders, and even more so when you have the belt (belt is more so haste than crit).

I've passed this on to Azor, so hopefully he can take a look and see if anything needs to be fixed/changed.

Technically, it's Attack Power. You can just ignore it.

Answered above already, but no, this isn't surprising. Also, trust in your sims :)

Thank you for the fast reply. I'm pretty new to simcraft so I've been leaving the default options on, is it recommended to leave on bloodlust? The weights seem to change quite a bit without bloodlust.

Are you going to have bloodlust during your time in the group? If you know that your raid of 10 people won't use bloodlust (unlikely), then disable it. The majority of the time you will.

Okay, so - I've spoken to Azor and just want to check a few things.

  • Can you re-sim this with the most recent version of SimC? It might have been that you simmed this prior to the nightly build being released. 
  • From what he is saying, Dire Frenzy should be better with the 2P for single-target.

Please re-test this and just let me know if you still have the same issues.

hello, does DB still take priority over KC during BW? what if AMoC comes up during BW? do i continue to spam CoS/KC or interrupt it for the AMoC? also, is TT affected by BW?

thanks

Yes, pop DB as soon as it is off cooldown, you want to avoid getting a Call of the Wild proc when it's already off cooldown.

AMoC should be synced up with BW as best you can anyway, but it is a huge dps cooldown and as it lasts the same amount of time as Bestial Wrath, you want to cast it right before you cast BW if you can. If it comes off cooldown say 5 seconds into BW, then yes, interrupt your normal rotation to cast it.

BW increases yours and your pet's damage by 31 (or 46 if you're running Bestial Fury) percent, which means both you and your pet benefit from the additional damage (and if you have 2pc, that 50% damage buff also applies to TT). Ideally you never want to cast AMoC or TT without BW up, and don't cast TT without first using a Dire Beast, even if it means you have to wait a few seconds (the extra damage is worth it).

Hi. I was wondering if there was another Weakaura string for Beast Cleave? I haven't tried yet, but it might be easy to make one. The link posted in the guide doesn't work though. Says it was deleted. :/

There are lots of WA for BM at https://wago.io/weakauras/classes/hunter/beast-mastery

There's a specific one for BC if you just need one for that.

With the changes to Sephuz in 7.1.5, I'm really wondering why all your simulations have Sephuz (no procs).

It seems like it should have a few different sections based on procs available every X number of seconds. In NH, between interrupting, Beast charge proccing the ring, and the ready ability to use Intimidation talent to stun a mob that it's considerably easier to use in a raid setting for a BM hunter.

With a buff that acts as a small hero, wouldn't it be worth considering as a DPS producer instead of just a stat stick (ring)? This guide provides no insight when I know I can get the thing to proc regularly in many of our current boss fights.

What is mean "T19M"?

I think "T19" means "Tier 19".

But I don't know that "M" of the "T19M".

I guess "M" is NH equipment oriented Mastery, but I'm not sure.

Because you live in a country where you do not speak English, it is difficult to guess the meaning of the words you abbreviate.

Additionally, is the trinket rank derived from wearing BiS equipment?

      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
