I’m just saying you could have made your point just as well if you had left it simply at “worst”. I’m not delusional about where BM stands either. I added a second MM spec recently, and I could see the difference right off the bat. I’m not arguing anything, it just felt like adding the “worst by far” part was an unnecessary little dig on the spec. It got under my skin a little bit. Sorry.

3.3.3 is a nerf to PvP Hunters running BM; we’re losing 9% damage on Arcane Shot fully pointed into Ferocious Inspiration. That’s a lot of damage I’m losing on my primary instant-cast shot.

That sounds interesting about the small BM dps increase but if it’s anything like their ‘buff’ for Frost Mage’s it will be hardly noticeable.

Update: looks like we are seeing a small BM dps boost. Gathering some data now, new post soon.

I’m not trying to rub anything in for BM hunters — just reporting the facts as they stand. Heck, I’m even saying they should be buffed. I’m there for my BM buddies, I’m just not delusional about where they currently stand.

Don’t know if you’ve been on the PTR lately, but apparently hunters have a base aura of 1% Ferocious Inspiration… with any pet, and any spec. Heard about it from the Wow.com comments, then went to check it out, on my retail-copied hunter. My MM-specced hunter with a wolf pet had an 1% Ferocious inspiration aura, which was weird as hell. I’m assuming this is a bug?

Blizz breaks out the nerf bat….(instead of buffing BM, they will just nerf MM and Surv and call it a day)

“…and worst by far”.
Did you have to do that, Frost? Anyone who’s read any of your articles about Beast Mastery lately understands your position there. Possibly it’s time to stop rubbing the salt in… we get it. Honest.

Sounds like fun! 8D Whatever it is I’m sure it’ll be fun. Hopefully they mean good adjustments and not… nerfs. D:
