We are goners since BFA lol
Let’s see what the future holds tho 
Some peeps also datamined a 5% aura buff.
One might have to wonder though.
Serpent sting might become not worth it unless you spec hydra
It will still be useless spec because it doesn’t use bow. Sylvanas bow will be BiS for 9.1 making bm and mm way better anyway.
Damn dude, so every spec that doesn’t use a bow is gonna be a useless inferior spec?
We appreciate your crystal ball, let us prepare for MM/BM to be the most overpowered specs in the game because of a single meme item effect.

That thing has been nerfed with every patcj so far…
Nevermind. The bow ability was simply included into it.
Still hate applying ss to more than 2 targets though
what about wildfire infusion then? The talent we’re pretty much forced to spec into? We’ll still need it up to make the most out of that, not only for the free reset of SS but for the 50% damage increase to the bomb.
/Shrug. To be fair, I only apply ss in aoe to 3-4 targets when I see green bomb coming up.
I know it is a wrong way to go about it, so take it with a grain of salt.
And all hunters gonna loot the bow at the launch of the patch 
thx for your post …
I said it many times 
always people who know nothing about SV crying about it and thinking it’s a useless spec. If you main an MM or BM goodluck fighting an SV
and pvm wise, I personally go up to 6k dps while not having my main stats.

lets hope there will be more than 500 parses in mythic raid because the spec got 15 % buff
:o
People on sv discord calculated approx 5.8% single target buff
Really? is it a buff during 9.1?
It’s posted in this thread. It’s not a 15% buff. It’s just under 6% ST.
I’m still hoping that Blizzard buffs Death Chakram…
Being a necrolord MM, my damage potential is likely the lowest of all covenants, and tbh, MM in general isn’t all that good these days anyway.
Buffs for survival are kinda nice… reworks would be better but beggars can’t be choosers. But SV is not popular for another reason entirely than it’s damage. It’s a melee spec that doesn’t bring anything special to the table. CC? At least half the classes have them. Tranq shot? Half the classes have dispels. Bloodlust? Shamans and Mages have them too and have a lot more potential. And you literally have no other utility. On the other hand, most other melee classes are more useful in groups (debuffs, buffs, offheals, shroud, etc) - and most of them are unique
Why not give hunter a raid buff/aura? Something like increasing Crit Chance by 2%… or Crit Damage/Healing by 5%.

you know the number tuning is bad when there is a talent that increases dmg of a skill by 30%.
neat with the buff kill command maybe will hit for 575 instead of 500 - spec is fixed
sad thing is that the only thing that does dmg is kill shot lol

Its always look cool when you see big numbers like 15% buff but in reality its like 50 extra dmg with each hit. It seems much better on mongoose tho. I think with the increased haste mongoose will come back. You will get 15% buff + extra haste or versa proc from covenant + higher ilvl raptor/mongoose conduit. But in pve as one of the wowhead post predicted while sv hunter gets buff sadly everyone else gets buff aswell like rogs, warriors,dhs so it will keep its last position In pve. I dont expect huge changes tho.
i don’t know, mongoose feels really terrible to play, even with 20% haste. We don’t have the energy anymore to pull it off well either. And even a full stacked mongoose does like no dmg lul
