I will keep creating these threads until we see changes. There is wide agreement that Blizzard rework of hunter’s mark as a “raid buff” in S3 of DF was complete failure, it was basically “lets give hunters an illusion of a raid buff without giving them an actual raid buff”.
As of now Hunter’s Mark is a fake of raid buff. Not only it contributes less than 1% of effective dps in raids, it’s complete trash in m+. Even worse, it creates a button bloat.
I have to have this stupid ability on my spell bar. I will say even DK’s raid buff (i.e. no buff at all) is better than this trash. In my hunter’s kit it’s the worst button to press.
People have been massively criticizing this “damage buff” effect ever since it was introduced in s3 of DF, but whoever introduced this stupid idea must have a big ego, as they conveniently ignore player’s plea to rework hunter’s raid buff.
Remove damage buff effect from Hunter’s Mark (leaving it as pvp ability to track enemies only) and give us proper raid buff.
I play a lot m+ as tank, healer and dps and the last time I heard something like “lets take a hunter, we need their hunter’s mark damage buff” was NEVER.
