Nevermind, I cant be bothered today.
If you are a noob hunter - yes, you get away with 3 buttons
If you are actually a decent hunter who does high dps, tracks timings and also cares for a team utility/traps - you will use ~30 buttons.
Hunter has a lot of niche buttons:
- even stuff like tar trap is gery usefull if your team doesn’t have mass slow.
- Or flares are nice to help tank gather invisible mobs (for example these lions in Spires after 1st boss - they are hidden, and if a tank doesn’t hit them first - they will stun tank for 3s, and these mobs hit like trucks. Simple flare or aoe trap gets mobs out of invis.)
- PF 3rd boss - hunter can drop 3 traps plus flare to get out mobs from webs, this helps so much for a tank and group not to run like crazy across whole arena.
- MD is super nice for a tank to hold agro on pack opening, because we know all dps just goes 150% 0.1s after tank pulled
- single target stun /interupt / slow
- knockback
- turtle to solo soak mechanics
- feign death can have some uses as well, when a group wants to do a skip without invis (we’ve seen this a lot in BFA MDI)
- RIP binding shot
People like to mock hunter as a braindead class of 3butto s, but in a good hands this class can bring a lot of value to the team.

Nothing wrong with having some simpler classes. There is room in the game for complex classes and for simpler classes.
Some people don’t want 16 buttons in every fight.
Some people get bored with only 2 buttons.
Horses for courses.

True…even in solo content its all about how you play it.
You could just keyboardsmash 3 buttons and take out 3 mobs at once or you could manage your pet, CCs, aggro, etc and take on 10-15 mobs for more of a challenge.
My reaction when trying to do sanguine depths for KSM in season 1 when hunters got targetted by castigate on tarvold on tyrannical weeks:
So many hunters that never used feign death for it.

Oh yes, you are so happy when it targets hunter and then you want to giga enrage when they just move left and right and soaks all the dmg 
Steady Shot

Dont you think there is a difference between knowledge of fights, mobs, dungeons, mechanics e.t.c. and micro skill in your rotation
if hes not using interrupt traps or healing cds when needed hes bad hunter
bro, there was a streamer who hit 2,4k in 2v2 playing with 5 macros only, nothing else - literal 5 button spec xD

Basically yes
More or less, the core ones are those (cobra shot, frenzy, kill command, the thing to enrage, kill shot and your interrupt).
But I honestly don’t really understand why people say it’s easier than other specs due to its rotation - there are lots of specs which have the same amount of buttons. Take fury for instance, or arms, they’re not that different, personally I find paladin or demon hunter even easier. There are some harder specs like Shadow Priest and that’s fine.
BM really is simpler because it actually “cheats” the game mechanics: you are a melee at range with no cast time with a pet that takes damage instead of you. THAT’S why it’s easier, imho, not its rotation. But it makes it the perfect class to deal with mechanics or coordinate the team, and generally to play the game if you’re a beginner, but it’s also a great class for experts.
Different specs, different playstyles. Different specs, different difficulties.
I don’t see it as a problem. In-fact the opposite. I love nothing more than to chill, have a glass of wine or a few beers and do some content without having to do a lot of thinking.
If we gave every class and spec the same amount of buttons to press, we’d fall straight back into homogenisation where every class/spec feels the same, with just different visuals.

i have a MM build what need to press all 10 bottoms to max dps 
Bad Hunters maybe. But yeah BM’s single target rotation is just 3 abilities, Kill Command, Cobra Shot and Barbed Arrow!
Hunter is one of those great classes that is easy to play but a lot of space for a master to excel too. So much you can dodge with Aspect of the Turtle and Feign Death, and Misdirect can really help the Tank in M+ with threat management!
Misdirection Macro
#showtooltip misdirection
/cast [@focus,help][help][@pet,exists] Misdirection
This macro auto casts Misdirection on your focus (hopefully set to the Tank!). If you have no focus it auto casts it on your pet.
I use this on my Hunter and it makes misdirecting to the Tank so easy.
When I was helping my little bro try tanking, I could do half of the tanking job for him with my Hunter and this skill 
Yes, demon hunters do that.
