Post a log of your gameplay to the Hunter forum - we can't tell you much from what you're saying since, it's very likely that you don't stick to this rotation perfectly while playing.

First off, thank you for the response guys it is very appreciated.

I'm now very curious about the legendary BiS update. I scoured up and down to find a reasoning on the huge jump between Q'apla's sixth spot and now second spot. The only post I found was in the description for MoC saying that with this Legendary the boots is the best in terms of single target and that the belt is best for AoE. I mostly just want to know the reasoning why this changed as a legendary jumping up that many slots seems odd to me. Especially as the belt could give much less downtime with the additional focus gains the legendary gives.

Also curious as I thought Burning Wish would be the best for AoE situations as it gives a ton of stats and gives you a significant cooldown on trash packs in Mythic+ where as the belt is slightly less useful where you get some time to regenerate focus between trash packs.

  • 2-piece set bonus: When you use Bestial Wrath Icon Bestial Wrath, the damage done by your Dire Beast Icon Dire Beast (including its Stomp ability on spawn) is increased by 50% for 15 seconds. This applies to Dire Beasts summoned after casting Bestial Wrath as well. This bonus does not apply to Dire Frenzy Icon Dire Frenzy, making this talent not worth using.
  • 4-piece set bonus: Dire Beast Icon Dire Beast reduces the cooldown of Bestial Wrath Icon Bestial Wrath by an additional 8 seconds.

It's useless for 2 set bonus the single target reccomended  spec and the 4 set bonus only reduces Bestial Wrath... there's nothing attractive using single target spec. I've tested it and lose 50 k with single target spec.. when i switch back to the dire beast spec i gain 50 k dps on single target dps.   I also don't see how Murder of Crows is attractive either, You can only use it maybe 2 or 3 times on a boss fight. At least volley is steady diet of dps. Man i have a lot to learn... 886 ilvl and great on trash ,, horrible on boss dps.MM is even worse I'm lucky to break 300 k with the guides here..... 370 k Dps as MM on single target using dire stable . Back to the drawing board again.

Dire Frenzy affects BW the same way Dire Beast does. But it's a dps loss and not worth taking. It also makes it harder to manage your focus if you mistime it.

Hello!

I have started reading this guide a few months ago and have been following it rather closely but I have question that's been bugging me for a bit.

In the guide you mention under Focus that you should never cap Focus, but what I want to know is how to handle situations where that is not possible without deviating from the rotation.

For example, I have the Legendary shoulders and I run DF for ST. When I open with the Opener Rotation I cap focus like crazy just due to the fact that DF frontloads the Focus it generates and the large amount of Focus AotW gives at the same time.

Should I be okay with capping Focus at the start of an encounter? If not how should I weave in a few Cobra Shots to alleviate that? What is the priority of not capping focus compared to the rotation?

Expand  

Again, Dire Frenzy is a net dps loss, use Dire Beast as it will affect WotC more since you'll have more cobra shot damage. It's fine to use cobra shot to avoid capping focus, use it above 90 focus as often as you need, without wasting a Dire Beast or a Kill Command cd.

BM AoE is ridiculously powerful without relics, adds are mostly inconsequential in NH and not worth losing out on significant single target dps. Unless your primary goal in end-game is to run M+ use the single target relics listed.

880 BTI is your BiS trinket, do not even bother with the other trinket it's a complete and utter downgrade. Look at the BM BiS section for the trinkets, at no stage will it overtake a BTI.

Boots are good with shoulders because it effectively nullifies the need for Killer Cobra allowing you to better manage focus and run Aspect of the Beast. This is a significant ST and AoE boost.

Belt is still good because it allows you significantly more time to use Kill Command in your burst phase, and without it you'll often run into a wall where you're out of focus and have to wait for it to regen to either reset KC with Cobra Shot or use KC on cooldown.

Burning Wish is good for AoE but definitely worth only using on significantly large AoE packs; boots/belt will always be better in any other situation. Especially in M+ you want to use BW as much as possible to speed up the kills, with the legendary shoulders and 4pc the uptime on BW is around 40%+ if not a lot higher with good procs so you'll never really need time to regen focus or wait for BW to come off CD.

What are thoughts from other hunters about an opener macro, single target KC or MoC and Multishot for AOE, then onto AotC/BW, DB/TT, and another set including a Misdirect on one of the tanks?

I'm sure I can code it, but wondering if anyone is using such an opener.

Just a quick question..

 

Im not raiding mythic, but only running mythic+ and some HC raids with pugs. Would BM be good solid dps in that environment? The guide here on icy say BM is the best single target dps there is, but is that really true?

I'm kind of new here, been lurking but need some help.   the two legendarys I have are the helm and legs both are healing of some kind, ..  also, two of my 4 set bonus are from LFR.  is it still worth it to take the 4set bonus even if they are LFR peices.   the replacements for two of them are from heroic/ and one from mythic.    just not sure how powerful the 4set is using 860/875 ilvl vs 900+i lvl replacments and only having 2 set bonus.  i know this sounds confusing but im a bit overwelmed on what gear to use.

You can do this, but honestly, I've never been a fan of the one button macros. If you can code it perfectly, definitely go for it, but don't you have to do it on a time-difference kind of thing? In which case doesn't it mess up as soon as you change gear or get a Haste buff?

Honestly, every Hunter spec has the potential to do incredibly well right now on different fights in NH. MM and BM are generally the go-to in NH, M+ will depend on the affixes you're trying. 

Note that it only says you have the best ST DPS if you have the perfect legendaries, namely the Mantle.

Mantle makes a huge difference.  I'm not nearly as good as the other BM hunter in my guild while being about the same iLvl, but he's got the Mantle and belt, while I have the trinket and generic legs.  But he still is a good 150-200k dps above me on many fights in NH

The offtank in M Botanist was asking me to MD to him while unloading on arcanist, when the rest are on the primary target.  I didn't have time between the mass res and the start of the next fight (30 secs maybe) to put something together.  I'm just talking about openers.  The rest of the rotation is too dependent on managing focus and procs to do much else with macros.

I'm not sure where to go to attempt to sim  i normally just head to the class hall and do a 3 or 4 min run to see my dps, but that seems a bit off from real fights.   do u have a link on a sim site i can go to and enter the gear to see the dps gain/loss?

do a google search for simulationcraft.  You download the program, install it, and have it import your character settings and then you run the simulation on your character based on current settings.  You can also change your gear by modifying the config, and rerunning the sim.  You can also change the parameters based on the type of fight.  By default, it sims a single target fight.

4pc > all, it's an absolutely massive dps increase. Ideally you would like to get 4pc with heroic or mythic gear but for BM it's so incredibly important it's worth sacrificing ilvl for.

BM is exceptionally good in M+ even without shoulders. I still have yet to get them and I've never been outdps'ed in a single M+. Taking into consideration ilvl, skill and situational circumstances, BM will theoretically be the strongest for almost every fight if you have shoulders/boots or shoulders/belt. SV is the strongest without any legendary, there's one in my new guild and honestly no one can keep up with him, his dps is mental. It is by far one of the most complex specs in the game though and the two ranged specs are far easier. MM will be better if you can follow the rotation perfectly and have good rng. 

Realistically all three specs are good, just go with the one you enjoy the most and if you're lucky enough to get the best legendaries for it that can make a whole lot of difference. In saying that, BM is the easiest of the specs and will be very versatile and enjoyable in any environment.

About the new artifact traits: If jaws of thunder and pack leader have a value of about 9 ilvl and slithering serpents of 7 iivls, will it not be better to increase this two traits before the new ones?

Simcraft is generally the go-to for any kind of simulation work. You can also look up the many guides on how to actually use it. They go over pretty much everything basic for simply simming your character for weights.

      🤠(Author's introduction)🤠

      Introduction: Before I begin I want to clarify that I am an old explorer and curious connoisseur of these players who dedicated their lives for years to a style of play within WoW, known as WoW F2P, I want to clarify the doubt of who this person is and what he came to represent and what he continues to represent today for level 20 communities, looking for information and more information I can say that this is the summarized result of this player known as Saruski, also known by other nicknames with which I will also be willing to better summarize this matter.

      👀 (What were the beginnings?) 👀

      Beginnings: Saruski started playing WoW around 2012 or 2013, but officially dedicated herself to the F2P playstyle in 2014.
      She has videos on her YouTube channel where she talks about her early experiences in WoW F2P, including her time in the Alliance and later joining the Horde. These videos provide some insight into her beginnings in the game and how she became involved with the F2P community.
      👀 (What's it called?) 👀

      Name and character: Saruski, whose real name is Andrea, is a recognized figure in the World of Warcraft (WoW) community, specifically among players who play for free (F2P).

      👀 (What is it known for?) 👀

      Pioneering the F2P community: Saruski founded and led the first international WoW F2P community on the Blizzard app. This provided a central hub for F2P players to connect, share information, and organize groups.
      Advocating for F2P players: She has been a vocal advocate for F2P players, highlighting their achievements and contributions to the WoW community.
      Creating content: Saruski has created videos and content to share her knowledge and experiences with the F2P community.

      👀 (What does Saruski mean for WoW F2P?) 👀

      Community building: Her leadership in creating the first international F2P community helped to legitimize and unify the F2P player base.
      Inspiration and representation: Saruski has shown that F2P players can achieve a high level of play and contribute meaningfully to the WoW community.
      Education and guidance: Her content has helped many F2P players learn the ropes and improve their gameplay.

      👀 (When did he retire?) 👀

      Retirement: While Saruski retired from WoW in 2020, her contributions to the F2P community remain significant. She is remembered as a pioneer, leader, and advocate for F2P players.
      Saruski, a prominent figure in the WoW F2P community, while no specific reason was publicly stated, she did create a video titled "Wow Saruski Official F2p: End Of Story | 2013-2020 (English And Spanish)" which you can find on YouTube.

      👀 (Final summary) 👀

      Summarizing: There are many players today who deserve high recognition, but it could be said that Saruski is the most well-known player and the one who marked a before and after in WOW F2P, given her career in the game and on the internet some people call her the legend of WOW F2P, but there is nothing official to call someone like that, therefore that is up to each person's discretion.
      End...

      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.

    • By Starym
      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.
