Some buffs are in the works for us Hunters. They might change yet again before the hotfix update on the 13th/14th, but so far, this is what’s planned:
Hunter
-
Beast Mastery
-
Marksmanship
-
Survival
Player versus Player
Hunter
And, while these changes are ofc welcome, Beast Mastery is already behind the other two specs in several areas, and these buffs aren’t going to do anything to fix that.
Since much of our damage is pet-based and the only real buff we get in that area is with Kill Command, this will do very little for single-target pet damage. Not to mention how our AoE-capabilities were way behind even before these proposed changes. As our[BM’s] sole real AoE-throughput, Beast Cleave, is weak, and proportionally will be even more so now.
Let’s hope they do some more with that.

They nerfed MM hunter 7 times in 9.0. i’m waiting other 6 buffs. Now i can make overall 6,4k in dungeon it was 6k. it’s not enough everybody now that. Blizz take all fire mage nerf back. i think they want even newly started player deal 10k overall damage in dungeon if plays fire mage. it’s nonsense.
Stop being a clown. A buff is a buff. Stuff like this is why they ignore the player base and never look at the forums.
Also tit-fot-tat is pathetic. FM has every right to be viable as we do, as frustrating as it is to see them get buffs after one week of being bad and it took nearly 10 months for BM fixes.
All I care about is being strong enough that guilds/M+ don’t perceive me as “unviable” and constantly refuse me.

A decent buff. 6-7% single target, I expected 3-4% so this is pretty good.
Will prob put us mid pack.
Hoping this changes perception for pugs. Jesus is it rough to get in any key right now lol. Just spent an hour trying to get in a 10 key at 228 ilevel with 2.5k score last season, gave up and got insta invited on my shammy at 214 ilevel. My hunters yet to not be top DPS in a key too lol this is nuts.
This is legit my biggest issue atm, we can clear most content just fine. but perception is that we’re deadweight. Hopefully this works to reverse that a little, and people don’t read into it too much and just think we’re decent now.
This definitely would put us higher in dps ranking, as small as it is, it’s all fine, extra buff is always welcomed.
m+ you guys are off the charts. Now you getting buffs for raids as well. Enjoy the ride you are going to be OP
if they only fix BM aoe cap issues in m+ 
Off the charts in positive way, right ;)? This buff is a joke. They are (mm) already top dps in raid (not every fight) and m+ both. I am not taking about simc but about in game experience.
Statistically the weakest class in the raid, but ok

M+ we do mad AoE for sure, very bad ST damage against bosses and for tyran though. Raids the bottom 4 dps specs at mos all 3 hunter specs and fire mage lol.
But why are buffs always raid related. The best gear source is m+ and due to this classes without so much insane dps will be again excluded from the content…
You only need to do 15s for maximum gear from vault and literally any spec/class can do those with ease. Class balancing doesn’t remotely matter for weekly keys.
Non pug environment for sure.
If you are relying on pugging why don’t you join a social/dungeon guild? Or add people/group up with others doing the same, I never understand the constant self inflicted pain that comes with constantly pugging. No matter how much you play/level you play at there are always likeminded people you can group with.
I don’t like the idea of creating a time schedule for playing a game. Sometimes I just want to log on and participate in some keys. I know that 15 keys are sometimes doable with pug if you not playing meta but it’s also a burden if the community is biased by streamers and their meta religion. Therefore pugging can be also hard beneath +10 if you are playing a non fotm class.
İf I calculate it correctly it will be %4 buff your overall dungeon damage which is not move the spec anywhere but good buff for single damage .
Join a guild, then ask in guild if anybody wants to join for keys whenever you log in?
Or solve the entire problem yourself and just use your own key. You can’t get declined from your own group.
Sometime I just want to log… Wait you can’t read right? As I told you sometimes I don’t want to schedule my game time. And my guild has only one tank that is even interested in m+. LFG is here for a reason.
