My hopes for MM in Shadowlands

Cleave
Beastmastery is much better here, taking Marksmanship to a dungeon makes you feel like you’re a burden. This might be brought better in line with the new cleave cap and changes to things like Barrage. I hope it gets sorted so both specs are decent options.

Will be solved in Shadowland, everyone gonna get a cap “exept some classes that is imited by their gameplay already”

Shadowlands Class Changes - Target Capping AoE Abilities

Movement
The big issue here is Aimed Shot. It really feels awful to have to interrupt it to dodge mechanics and it’s a big damage loss. It would be nice to be able to cast it while moving, even if it progresses slower then, so you aren’t totally useless on movement heavy fights

Only Aimed Shot is need to stand by, we got enought mobility, we are fine with that

Self-heal
Only having the one self-heal on a long cooldown is often an issue, one that Beastmastery does not need to contend with. Would be nice to have more. Which brings me to the next part…

The most important part is more that the pet heal for insane healing, survival passive heal for insane healing too meanwhile as Marksmanship we don’t have anything special for us…

I agree on that point it must change.

Hunter’s Mark
Almost forgot about this one! Please remove it. It is nothing but a nuisance to maintain. If having a mark is a must I would prefer if it passively applied to your Aimed Shot targets. Encourages staying on one target but one less annoying button/CGD to spend.

I’ve made a full topic on that, it’s clear that the Hunter Mark must no longer boost the damage but keep the usefull utility

Discussion here :

Hunter Mark back in Shadowland : Hunter don't want that back!

Greeting forum , I’m against Hunter Mark in shadowland for mutliple reason : Since when they design the class, they balance all class to 100% of damage together, that mean hunter mark is inside that 100% balance. Since they will not do 105% damage instead of 100% in 1 target , hunter damage gonna loose 5% of his AoE damage , so we gonna loose Dps and we gonna be rejected in Mythic + since we will miss 5% damage in aoe beacause our class is balanced to 100% only by 1 target instead of without …

Exotic pets
Shadowlands is supposed to be more about class identity and not spec anyway, and having more pets isn’t overpowered for Marksmanship since having any pet is a damage loss. But being able to use Spirit Beasts to have access to another heal would be really nice. Also purple manasabers are the best.

As Marksmanship, pet is used to sacrifice DPS in order to get utility pet.

Badly what they forget is we got the same dps “calculated/balanced” then Beast Mastery / Survival in BFA.

Let’s hope it change that in Shadowlands.
