State of Beast Mastery Hunters on Shadowlands Beta

publicado 17/08/2020 a las 22:22 por Moofzy

ShadowlandsIntroductionFrenesíAbout the Author

I'm Moofz. I main Hunter and do both Mythic+ and raiding at a high level. I write the BFA Marksmanship Hunter guide and most Hunter-related content and news for Wowhead. I also have a Hunter Mythic+ website, stream raids and dungeons on Twitch, and do YouTube content. I've also commentated multiple Race to World First events over the past couple of years. Feel free to message me via Twitter or in the Trueshot Lodge with any Hunter questions or inquiries.

What's Changed?Class/Spec Changes

NEW Asustar bestia - Scares a beast, causing it to run in fear for up to 20 sec. Damage caused may interrupt the effect. Only one beast can be feared at a time.
Iconic Hunter spell that dates back to vanilla WoW. It can be beneficial while questing or during PvP. Sadly, a targeted fear that only works on beasts has very niche uses in modern gameplay.

Ojos de la bestia

Eyes of the Beast can be used while questing, or in very niche scenarios that require "scouting" ahead. While this ability is perhaps one of the coolest abilities in the game, once again the practical uses of this ability are few to none.

Disparo mortal

Beast Mastery Hunters get an execute baseline! In BFA we were given Killer Instinct as a talent, but it was surpassed in relevance by Animal Companion after it was buffed in patch 8.2.5. Kill Shot gives our execute phase a bit of added depth and is a welcomed addition to our toolkit. That being said, Kill Shot isn't quite as strong for Beast Mastery as it is for Marksmanship since it does not interact with our toolkit nor is it affected by our Mastery like it is for Marksmanship Hunters.

Disparo tranquilizante

In Battle for Azeroth, Hunters had a purge baked into our pets. The addition of Tranquilizing Shot is primarily to give Marksmanship Hunters similar baseline utility to Beast Mastery and Survival Hunters. It is, however, a slight quality of life change for us as well, considering we no longer have to rely on our pet positioning and targeting to properly soothe targets.

Redirecciónfor the next 8 sec

It now works like the current Secretos del oficio. Definitely a big quality of life change.

Revivir mascota2 sec

Devastating change. Without a pet, we are essentially useless considering the majority of our DPS is tied to our pets. If you don't have Aspecto de la tortuga available to sync with your Revive pet, expect to waste 5-10 seconds attempting to revive your pet. If this change stays in, it'll be very hard to justify bringing Beast Mastery or Survival Hunters to any sort of competitive content.

Marca del cazador

Beast Mastery Hunters now have Hunter's Mark. While single target is largely a "apply and forget" scenario, having to juggle Hunter's Mark in AoE feels cumbersome and unrewarding. The new version of Hunter's Mark has a reduced GCD (1-sec Hasted GCD) so it's a bit easier to manage, however, the focus generation component has been removed.

Disparo Arcano

Beast Mastery Hunters should typically use Disparo de cobra rather than Arcane Shot. Ironically, Arcane Shot is proving to be slightly higher DPS due to Cobra Shot's increased focus cost. In addition to the increased cost, unlike Cobra Shot, Arcane Shot deals arcane damage, which isn't affected by armor.

Tajo de la bestia

This change just brings Beast Cleave in line with other target capped abilities.

Disparo de cobraRank 2

Removing this passive tied to Cobra Shot cripples our rotation. This change makes Disparo Arcano more favorable to use than Cobra Shot. It also severely affects talents such as Cobra escupidora and Cobra asesina as their damage potential is directly correlated with the number of Cobra Shot casts.

Multidisparo

This change just brings Multi-Shot in line with other target capped abilities.

Talent Changestalent calculator

NEW Derramamiento de sangre - Command your pet to tear into your target, causing your target to bleed over 18 sec and increase all damage taken from your pet by 15% for 18 sec.

The damage the DoT does isn't super significant, its real benefit is the bonus pet damage it provides. It lines up quite nicely with both Cólera de las bestias and Aspecto de lo salvaje. At the moment, its currently bugged and does not work with Animal Companion so it loses a ton of value when the two are paired together. Bloodshed is only relevant in single target scenarios considering it only increases damage against a single target.

Bestia temible25

A fairly significant buff to Dire Beast. The beast itself still does little to no damage, but now that it doesn't cost focus, it's essentially a free 5% Haste buff every 20 seconds.

Rastro de sangre

This is essentially a version of Instintos primigenios that is now tied to Cólera de las bestias rather than Aspecto de lo salvaje. Scent of Blood feels a bit awkward to use as it causes us to waste some of the cooldown reduction we get from Barbed Shot procs, most notably in our opener. That being said, it helps to maintain a higher Frenesí uptime. It will be especially helpful towards the start of Shadowlands when our secondary stats will be pretty low.

Cobra escupidoraSummons a Spitting Cobra for 20 sec that attacks your target for Nature damage every 2 sec. While the Cobra is active you gain 2 Focus every sec.

While this change sounds good, there are a ton of issues with Spitting Cobra that make this talent unusable. The most glaring issue is the high cost of Disparo de cobra at the moment. We physically can't cast Cobra Shot enough for this talent to be relevant. In addition, there are some major bugs with Spitting Cobra. The cobra that spawns only has a range of 25 yards (it won't deal damage if it spawns further). Spitting Cobra is also reduced by Animal Companion's -35% pet aura so it does decreased damage anytime these talents are paired together. The talent has some potential in single target situations but there are some major changes that need to occur to make it relevant. Assuming these issues are fixed, Spitting Cobra will become better as we scale and we're able to cast more Cobra Shots. It also has some potential synergy with talents such as Cobra asesina.

Estampida3

Pretty good buff to Stampede. Now that it's a 2 min cooldown, it pairs well with both Cólera de las bestias and Aspecto de lo salvaje. Stampede has potential to be viable in burst situations, but at the moment, Stomp's consistent damage seems to outweigh it.

Runeforged Legendaries

Generic Legendaries

Beast Mastery Legendaries

Orden temible - Dire Command is a pretty underwhelming legendary for us. The legendary only has relevance at a low target threshold considering we stop using Matar in AoE. The beast that spawns is the same Bestia temible from our talent. Similar to our talent, the beast that spawns does rather pitiful damage, and its damage is only single target (it does use Pisotón if talented into it). On top of that, Dire Command only gives us a 10% chance to spawn the Dire Beast in the first place, which equates to a little less than once a minute. The one redeeming factor to this legendary is that when the Dire Beast does proc, it does give us the 5% Haste that also comes from the talent.
Picadura de cobra de despiertallamas - Once again, this legendary doesn't provide much value with the current state of Beast Mastery. Disparo de cobra currently costs way too much focus to gain any meaningful DPS from this legendary. Additionally, having free Matars does very little for us as focus isn't a major issue for Beast Mastery Hunters considering our high passive regen. Flamewaker's is also a pure single target legendary since it relies on Cobra Shot, so it loses value in AoE scenarios. This effect will improve as we gain secondaries and we're able to cast more Cobra Shots, but in its current state, I don't foresee us using this legendary.
Qa'pla, orden de guerra en eredun - Qa'pla is one of our better single target legendaries for Beast Mastery. The value of this legendary scales directly with how many Disparo con púass we're able to cast. Traits such as Rastro de sangre pair wonderfully with it. As we gain secondaries and can produce more frequent Barbed Shots, this legendary gets better. The downside, like some of the other legendaries, is that Qa'pla loses value in AoE considering we typically don't Matar as much in AoE situations.
Colmillos penetrantes de acecharrylaks - Rylakstalker's is perhaps Beast Mastery's most well-rounded legendary. While a boring effect, a flat 30% crit damage during Cólera de las bestias is amazing for us and it significantly bolsters our damage during our major cooldown. As we scale, we will continue to get more frequent Bestial Wrath windows, increasing the value of this legendary. Rylakstalker's is also the only Beast Mastery legendary, aside from Ascuas de las Forjas de Almas, that has any major relevance in AoE.

Legendary OverviewAscuas de las Forjas de AlmasColmillos penetrantes de acecharrylaksQa'pla, orden de guerra en eredunRastro de sangreCovenants & SoulbindsKyrianNight FaeNecrolordsVenthyrhereKyrian
Flecha resonante - In PvE, the bonus 30% Critical Strike can be quite nice, especially in AoE. Beast Mastery Hunters love Critical Strike since some of our abilities (Llamada salvaje, Uno con la manada, etc) directly scale off of it. The Critical Strike bonus we gain from Resonating Arrow also benefits our pets. The other major benefit that Beast Mastery has compared to Marksmanship and Survival, is that we can essentially line up every Cólera de las bestias with every Resonating Arrow cast. Going even further, If we take Emoción de la caza we gain 9% passive Critical Strike (assuming 3 stacks of Frenesí), and every 2 minutes we gain another 10% Critical Strike from Aspecto de lo salvaje. In total, we gain a ton of passive Critical Strike during Resonating Arrow, which equates to some pretty hefty burst. The major downside to this ability is of course that its a placed AoE effect, so moving mobs outside of the area loses value. Resonating Arrow also has an awesome effect that lets you cast abilities onto targets that would normally be out of your line of sight. It lends itself to having some unique benefits in PvP, especially in Arenas.

Invocar al administrador - On the surface, this ability seems quite underwhelming, but after doing dungeons and raid testing, this ability adds a ton of value. The real beauty of this ability is that Ampolla de serenidad removes bleeds, diseases, poisons, and curses. Things such as Necrótica and Dolorosa can be removed, along with a ton of new poisons, diseases and bleeds introduced in the new dungeons and raids such as Desangrado from the Alachilla fight in Castle Nathria.
Necrolord
Chakram de muerte - For Beast Mastery Hunters, Death Chakram is currently our best option for pure single target scenarios. The ability lends itself towards being versatile - being able to deal with both AoE and single target scenarios. It also gives us additional focus per bounce, which is a nice bonus perk. Death Chakram is currently bugged in AoE situations as it can bounce to nearby corpses. Without considering Soulbinds or other utility, Death Chakram is perhaps the best option for Beast Mastery Hunters in terms of both single target throughput and AoE throughput as it's only slightly behind Kyrian in regards to AoE at the moment.

Modelar carne - Fleshcraft can be a fairly strong defensive ability, giving players a shield up to 50% of your maximum health every 2 minutes. The major downside of this ability is of course its long channel time. For raid, and even in PvP, it might be hard to find times to adequately charge this ability. In Mythic+ however, there is generally ample time to utilize this ability, which can easily be a game-changer in higher dungeons. The shield also allows you to ignore certain mechanics depending on the situation.
Night Fae
Espíritus salvajes - While most of the other covenant abilities seem to be completely implemented, Wild Spirits seems to be unfinished for the most part. The ability itself works and is usable, but many of our abilities don’t interact with it properly. For Beast Mastery Hunters in particular, Wild Spirits does not currently proc off of pets attacks or abilities such as Tajo de la bestia, nor does it proc on DoTs such as Disparo con púas (it does proc on the initial cast of DoTs, but does not proc off of DoT ticks). Considering pets are the majority of our damage, it's safe to say Wild Spirits is pretty underwhelming for BM Hunters at the moment. It also has an internal cooldown on how often it can proc, which really hurts its damage capabilities. Wild Spirits has the potential to be really strong for AoE, but it has some things that need to be ironed out before it becomes viable for any Hunter spec.

Forma de alma - Utility-wise, Soulshape is probably one of the best covenant options we have. The on-demand blink and added movement speed helps our positioning. Soulshape along with Separación and Aspecto del guepardo gives us an abundance of tools to deal with different types of mechanics.
Venthyr
Disparo despellejador - Flayed Shot does a fair chunk of damage by itself, and of course, it provides us with extra Disparo mortals throughout the entire fight. Unlike Marksmanship, the Beast Mastery toolkit doesn't really have any interaction with it. BM's Mastery doesn't buff Kill Shot or Flayed Shot like Marksmanship's Mastery does so it's significantly less impactful for us. The major downside to this ability is of course the lack of AoE it provides as it is strictly a single target ability. It is currently performing worse than Chakram de muerte in pure single target scenarios.

Puerta de las Sombras - A teleport can be nice situationally and definitely gives us a bit of added utility to our toolkit. Door of Shadows might be useful for skips in Mythic+ but in general, its usage is pretty niche and situation dependent.

Covenant Traits

Marca socavada - You can only obtain this Conduit via the Kyrian Covenant. Enfeebled Mark is a very solid trait for Beast Mastery Hunters as it directly increases your damage to enemies within Flecha resonante. As I mentioned earlier, BM Hunters have an enormous amount of Critical Strike during Resonating Arrow, so increasing damage done on top of the large amount of Critical Strike works wonders. The major downside to this trait is of course the fact that Resonating Arrow is a placed area of effect, so moving mobs outside of its effect cripples the value of this trait.
Descarga potenciada - You can only obtain this Conduit via the Venthyr Covenant. As mentioned earlier, Disparo mortal damage for Beast Mastery Hunters is a fair bit lower than its Marksmanship Hunter counterparts, so while buffing its damage is useful, it's not quite as useful as some other traits. Empowered Release isn't a bad trait by any means, but it's also not a necessity. Disparo despellejador and Kill Shot are also single target oriented abilities so this trait loses value in AoE scenarios.
Tromba necrótica - You can only obtain this Conduit via the Necrolord Covenant. Necrotic Barrage is definitely one of the better conduit traits available if you choose to go Necrolord. It's a straight damage boost to Chakram de muerte which does a pretty good amount of damage already. This trait also increases the focus gain from Death Chakram which is a nice added bonus.
Armonización de espíritu - You can only obtain this Conduit via the Night Fae Covenant. Espíritus salvajes unfortunately has some flaws inherent in the ability as it doesn't currently work with many hunter abilities or pets in general. Having a conduit that buffs its damage doesn't really help us in any way considering its current state. There is definitely potential for Wild Spirits to be strong in AoE assuming it was fixed to work with Hunter abilities, and more importantly Hunter pets.

Potency Traits

Flebotomía - This trait is essentially the Frenesí hambriento Azerite trait reworked. Initially, this trait will be pretty good considering at the start of Shadowlands, we'll be struggling to maintain uptime on Frenesí. The added damage it gives, like its Feeding Frenzy counterpart, is nice to have, but isn't super impactful overall. The damage from Disparo con púas is a very small portion of our overall damage so increasing its damage isn't super significant, but it does slightly bolster our multi-dotting capabilities. With that in mind, this trait will start to fall off as other traits increase in value. This also holds true for the reduced recharge rate aspect of Bloodletting. As we gain secondaries, it'll be easier and easier to maintain those Frenzy stacks, meaning having the reduction in recharge time for Barbed Shot will quickly become more of a convenience factor.
Llamada resonante - Initially, Echoing Call will be decent, but it won't make a major impact on our gameplay. As we scale, however, Echoing Call will become more relevant. Since Echoing Call influences Llamada salvaje, as we gain secondaries (Critical Strike and Haste primarily), this trait will quickly ramp up the number of Disparo con púas procs we gain. Paired with Uno con la manada, we might see a crazy amount of Barbed Shot resets. More resets of course mean more damage from interactions like Pisotón and Qa'pla, orden de guerra en eredun, as well as higher Cólera de las bestias uptime.
Apetito feroz - Ferocious Appetite is a fairly mediocre Conduit for us. As I've mentioned earlier, Aspecto de lo salvaje is a pretty underwhelming 2-minute cooldown for us, so reducing its cooldown, while beneficial, isn't a major DPS gain. Additionally, this trait's value is directly tied to our Critical Strike chance so initially, when our secondaries are fairly low, we won't benefit from the cooldown reduction very much. This trait does have a pretty cool interaction with Compañero animal as each pet's Matar counts as a separate instance.
Uno con la bestia - One with the Beast is one of our better conduits as it directly buffs our primary cooldown, Cólera de las bestias. Obviously, as we gain ranks, this trait will directly increase the benefit of Bestial Wrath, but it also gains power as we gain secondaries. Higher levels of Critical Strike and Haste means we'll get more Disparo con púas procs, which equates into higher Bestial Wrath uptime. More uptime directly benefits One With the Beast and increases its value.

Finesse Traits

Retirada táctica - Hunters get Retirada vengativa! It's not quite as good as its Demon Hunter counterpart, but it'll help a bit while questing or during dungeons. You have to be in melee for it to be useful so this trait isn't really too impactful for us.
Vigor del guepardo - Aspecto del guepardo can be pretty useful when trying to avoid mechanics or while traversing long distances. Typically we don't really need too much movement speed so this is just a "nice to have" type trait.
Inversión de fortuna - This is the only Finesse trait that has some sort of damage gain tied to it. While Beast Mastery doesn't really need additional focus, a slight focus gain is better than nothing. This will probably be the go-to Finesse trait for all three Hunter specs, especially in PvP and Mythic+.
COMING SOON

Endurance Traits

Temple del cazador - Similar to how the existing Azerite trait Agacharse y cubrirse works, using Fingir muerte reduces damage taken for a short period of time. This is a very useful trait if you are able to predict and time the incoming damage appropriately. It will have relevance in raid, dungeons, and PvP. The cooldown reduction on Feign Death also gives us more flexibility and allows us to ignore targeted spells more often.
Armonía de los tortolianos - Cooldown reduction on Aspecto de la tortuga can be useful, but is generally only used in niche situations. As this gains ranks, pairing it with Llamada de lo salvaje and Nacido para ser salvaje may allow us to ignore certain mechanics depending on their frequency.
Ventaja de tirador - A damage reduction tied to Marca del cazador give us more incentive to use it on different targets. This trait will be especially useful for raid considering most damage stems directly from the raid boss (damage often comes from the environment and may not count towards this damage reduction). The downside to this effect is that it only reduces damage from a singular target (as opposed to the all-encompassing damage reduction that Temple del cazador provides for example).
Viento rejuvenecedor - While the bonus healing this trait provides is nice, I don't foresee it being more useful than other endurance conduits. The initial heal from Excitación is generally enough to prevent you from dying or at least give your healer an opportunity to heal you to a stable level. Hunters suffer from a lack of upfront mitigation, so traits such as Temple del cazador or Ventaja de tirador are much more useful for us.

Hunter Pet UpdatesNew Tames200here

To tame Cloud Serpents, players will need to acquire the Cómo educar a tu dragón tome by reaching Exalted with the Orden del Dragón Nimbo. If you aren't already, make sure to be Exalted heading into the new expansion! Cloud Serpents belong to the Serpiente family and will be the Cunning specialization.

For Undead beasts, players will need to acquire the Libro sencillo sobre vinculación de huesos. The exact method of how to obtain this tome is still unknown, but the text strongly suggests it is related to the Necrolord covenant. Undead beasts are not tied any specific family as they are scattered throughout multiple different families such as Can, Demosaurio, and Dragón alado.

CamelsMammothsCoursersSpirit BeastsPetopiahere

Players are now able to tame Elegon! Players will have to venture to the Elegon in Cámaras Mogu'shan to tame him. Despite having a Cloud Serpent model, he will be classified as a Spirit Beast. This means that he will be the Tenacity Specialization.

Pet AbilitiesDisparo tranquilizanteBestia espírituMurciélagoEsporiélagoConcerns Going ForwardCobra Shot vs. Arcane ShotDisparo ArcanoDisparo firmeDisparo de cobraRank 2Matar

Disparo de cobra does physical damage, costs 45 focus, and reduces the cooldown of Kill Command by 1 sec.

Disparo Arcano does arcane damage (~15% less damage than Cobra Shot) but it only costs 30 focus.

Disparo de cobraDisparo ArcanoWhat Does This Mean?Disparo de cobraDisparo Arcano

The most obvious issue is that using Arcane Shot over Cobra Shot ignores the innate cooldown reduction baked into Cobra Shot. We inherently lose out on Kill Commands.

This is a slight nerf to talents such as Instinto asesino and Compañero animal as casting less Kill Commands depreciates their value.

Cobra escupidora becomes even less desirable. I described a few of the issues with Spitting Cobra earlier in this article, but now that we are completely ignoring Cobra Shot, a talent that gains value by using Cobra Shot becomes useless.

Cobra asesina also becomes unusable. Since we aren't using Cobra Shot, we physically cannot benefit from Killer Cobra's reset mechanic as it relies on the use of Cobra Shot.

Revive PetRevivir mascotaDisparo de cobraDisparo con púasMultidisparoAspecto de la tortugaFingir muerte

Questing - From a questing point of view, pets are our front line. Being gimped for 4 seconds is a death sentence for most Hunters, especially without Aspecto de la tortuga available.

Mythic+ - For dungeons, in many cases, pets die by no fault of the Hunter. Similar to BFA, there are already abilities that target our pets in Shadowlands dungeons, inevitably killing them. Having to lose out on damage due to a random mechanic feels miserable. On top of that, having to move during the cast to avoid dying, thus starting over, feels even worse.

PvP - This is perhaps the biggest issue for PvPers. Enemy players will simply target Hunter pets, knowing that the Hunter will be forced to channel for 4 seconds just to play the game. Even with Aliviar mascota (which is dispellable by the way), it's extremely easy to kill Hunter pets. Even now, they often times just die to passive cleave. This change basically eliminates Hunter from any competitive PvP gameplay as any competent PvPer can keep the Hunter locked down every 4 seconds.

Revivir mascotaDominación vilAnimal CompanionCompañero animalZarpaMordeduraBofetónevery

Animal Companion reduces damage done by guardians and other summoned pets. Fuerza vital condensada, which summons a guardian to deal damage, has its damage reduced by 35% when paired with Animal Companion.

The cobra summoned by Cobra escupidora has its damage reduced by 35% whenever the two talents are taken together.

Orden temible, one of our new legendaries in Shadowlands, procs a Bestia temible. Its damage is also nerfed (albeit very minor) when Animal Companion is taken.

Comentario de DawnTitanThis is neat. Thinking I'm gonna go kyrian or Necro. So far looks like I'm going shadow priest or hunter.Comentario de elbardoQuesting - From a questing point of view, pets are our front line. Being gimped for 4 seconds is a death sentence for most Hunters, especially without Aspect of the Turtle available.Comentario de elbardoSomething that I think this article should have brought up but is how Stampede makes no attempt at trying to explain how it works, (added later) like how are you supposed to have an idea of how good it is if it doens't even have a number on it)?Comentario de 1808749This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comentario de RoguePostDocWhat is up with the focus cost nerf to hunters? Did Blizz thought hunters had too much focus in BfA? It's all thanks to Lucid Dream and Azerite Traits, not inherent from hunters themselves. Surv Hunters can't even perform raptor/mongoose properly, MM Hunters are suffering from drought during their big CD, and now BM Hunters with increased focus for Cobra Shot, destabilizing their core rotation.

Did Blizz test this thing out? If so, I would like to see their test conditions (i.e. haste %, crit %, and so forth).Comentario de ChaxtonThe revive pet issue is a very big non-issue. Like, you won't have your pet die under normal circumstances when questing unless you actively pick the incorrect (Cunning) family pets or pull way more than you can actually handle, and I've not seen my pet die in Mythic+ or raiding unless my pet somehow gets aggro (aka; tank died and somehow my pet is doing more dps than other players). Additionally, I feel like we get too many extra buttons now. There were plenty enough in Beta for Azeroth, but it feels like they're just trying to bloat the bars now. I mean, it's nice that we have Steady Shot because it sucks having to wait for focus/barbed shot charges just to attack, and it's absolutely top-tier awesome that Eyes of the Beast is back (What took so long?), but I like having bars not be filled entirely. All of the actually useful buttons being added takes a good third of the bar from the sounds of it.

Also, I hope they fix the Night Fae ability. It sounds like the best one, but for it to not even work for BM hunters is just unfair. Don't let this go unfixed.Comentario de cokeboyswagSlightly unrelated, but from a M+ perspective, why does BM pretty much have nothing to worry about except boss mechanics (and even many of those can be negated by FD). Take large trash pulls in high M+, for example. Moving out of incoming ground telegraphed spells doesn't hurt their dps. They never have to be in melee range, thus avoiding any cleave/frontal cone abilities from mobs in the hectic movement, and they never have to worry about ripping aggro and getting 1 shot. Why does this class have no weakness? It should be the weaker of the 2 specs, something more friendly for new players or casual players, whereas MM/Surv should have the more complicated rotations and rewards.Comentario de schmilblickThank you for adding link to the other "classes feedback" at the end ;)Comentario de GammageddeonHad decided after seeing the new Kyrian mail set to go them on my hunter. Glad to see the Kyrian hunter ability is pretty good!Comentario de StrohhutHombreThe revive pet issue is a very big non-issue.

Don't let this go unfixed.Comentario de MarhaultThe Revive Pet change is only severely bad for PVP. Hunters are already at a pretty high disadvantage in arena, so now taking out the pet is basically a free win for the other team, whereas before you could quickly get it back up if you watched the kicks or turtle res. Now you are down to one turtle res and then they can just focus it down again and keep you basically out of the match for good. If your pet dies in solo content, you just feign death and reset. If your pet dies in a dungeon or raid, you've done something severely stupid and wrong as he shouldn't really be getting targetted.Comentario de 1808749This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comentario de TerrassenFrom my point of view Beast Mastery looks as if Blizzard didn't think the rotation through at all:

Arcane Shot is extremely pointless and unnecessary to the spec and serves no purpose at all, other than what feels like that they wanted to add the ability to unprune their ability pruning a few expansions ago to make the spec feel more "complete"- quite the opposite in fact.

Revive Pet's 4 second cast time is not such a massive downgrade, except for in PvP environments. I have played WoW since 2006 and mained a hunter ever since and I never encountered these "situations" the author of this article described. Pets in PvE are practically unkillable by AoE spells and abilities due to their 99% Avoidance stat and for obvious reasons never gets targeted by debuffs in raids or they might wipe the group, the only situation they might die is when they get single target damage done to them due to lack of tank aggro. The little damage they might take is easily healable by Mend Pet. The 4 second cast time is primarily an issue in PvP which is the only thing I agreed with in this article, is that when the pet is dead you are extremely vulnerable and can't do anything if you can't time Aspect of the Turtle with Revive Pet.Comentario de MoofzyFrom my point of view Beast Mastery looks as if Blizzard didn't think the rotation through at all:

There is a fair amount of complaint on twitter and was discussed with Muffinus (https://twitter.com/Muffinus/status/1287232588109606912 and https://twitter.com/Muffinus/status/1287236852471099392).
In short, even if we have many new pets, only 4-8 will be useful at all (ex: mechanical, being a PvP pet with a defensive, is useless).

I do miss the times I'd maul a Titan with a rabid turtle or vicious squirrel.Comentario de 1808749This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comentario de Aigilasgood cover, hope they fix the cobra/arcane issue and and revive petComentario de TerrassenFrom my point of view Beast Mastery looks as if Blizzard didn't think the rotation through at all:

Arcane Shot is extremely pointless and unnecessary to the spec and serves no purpose at all, other than what feels like that they wanted to add the ability to unprune their ability pruning a few expansions ago to make the spec feel more "complete"- quite the opposite in fact.

Revive Pet's 4 second cast time is not such a massive downgrade, except for in PvP environments. I have played WoW since 2006 and mained a hunter ever since and I never encountered these "situations" the author of this article described. Pets in PvE are practically unkillable by AoE spells and abilities due to their 99% Avoidance stat and for obvious reasons never gets targeted by debuffs in raids or they might wipe the group, the only situation they might die is when they get single target damage done to them due to lack of tank aggro.
