BM is useless and hunter pets got nerfed in all the first phases and now they are useless

For the context BM is so bad that at lvl 60 with 714 Gear Score I deal slightly-above-average DPS in Sunken Temple in a group of levelling people in dungeon blues
Traps are the new hunter pets, they just need to let you change name on explosive trap and you’re all set.

Like I get they nerfed hunters pets in the earlyer stages of sod, but its like they forgot to undo the nerfes when we got to end game. They are weaker then original vanilla pets. Cus the nerfs stayed.
A beastmaster trades he’s own damage. For the pets to do the damage. Don’t see why people are butthurt about strong pets. Cus the hunter himself gets pretty weak when ur going BM.
I just really enjoyed the Beastmaster melee hunter. It felt good to play in and outside of raids. Lacking in aoe. But that could have been fixed by letting them use traps in combat or moved they carve rune to a other slot. Cus it was not viable to use carve in sunken temple
The old vanilla leveling bm tree needs to completly redesign , its not fit with sod!
i m not saying bm tree needs to increase pet damage more , look at burning crusade bm tree and you will understand what i mean.
Currently only viable spec is ,
petless range dps , because of explosive trap !
range dps with pet = not viable
petless melee dps = not viable
melee dps with pet = not viable
And the problem is not the pet damage !
The problem is explosive trap !
Why ?
Because lonewolf also increases the trap damage by %35 !
Because explosive trap instant damage is very high and it can also crits !
Because melee damage runes and pet damage runes are in the wrong slots !
And !
Traps in dps rotation is sucks !
The problem is not the explosive trap , hunter are not OP in their most performing form in PVE.
The pet needs buff but nerfing range LW would just make it unplayable.
Pet can get buff without nerfing everything else.
Beast mastery rune need to be changed to legs/chest , and to be put to its original value or even more. It is easy to tune up
Traps in DPS rotation is alright , it is just very exigent in terms of skill.
need a giga buff warlock pet aswell
