Beast Mastery Hunter 7.3

Recommended Posts

Guest jmaster299

In the guide, updated for Legion, you have a check mark in Big Game Hunter, yet in the breakdown for that tier you say to take either Dire Stable or Way of the Cobra, with Dire Stable being the preferred choice.

 

Big Game Hunter is not recommended, yet has the check mark as if it is. I know you had previously recommended it, and am guessing the graphic just needs to updated to match the text.

So WOW is swinging toward hardcore players and ignoring casual players.  This is way to confusing.  I just needed a basic rotation and an easy explanation of Wtf is going on.  

 

Thanks for nothing...

I don't think he's serious.

There is one thing I don't understand. In MM priority system, you have Barrage (talent) and Windburst (artifact ability). Why A Murder of Crows and Titan's Thunder are not in BM priority then? Actually in BM Rotation, Cooldowns, and Abilities section there is nothing about using Titan's Thunder at all. Nothing about Wild Call procs too...

I added Titan's Thunder.

 

Wild Call doesn't change anything in the priority. It just resets the cooldown of Dire Beast.

 

A Murder of Crows has a somewhat long explanation, and unless the talents are very gamechanging for the spec we do not include them in the base rotation. You can find the explanation for Crows further below in the rotation section. I might put Crows in the actual rotation (since it's so short, it could use some meat), but let me know what you think.

I was hoping to see a more updated thread for BM hunter than July.  I also was looking at the BM Hunter guide but only saw dungeons and raid setups....why no regular pve open world setup?

I am running through the new zones and currently only at lvl 101...so I came to the BM Hunter forum to see what build setup would be more helpful than the generic one I am using.  Not everything is working very well and I know I am doing something wrong but have no idea how to fix it.

So, if I am running BM at lvl 10, which of the only two build setups would work well for general pve open world questing?

I had no problem with the setup that this site gives us, while questing.

Just pick talents that give you burst damage so you can quickly kill mobs inbetween running around for quests. You may also want to spec your pet to Tenacity so it can last a little longer if you pull a lot of mobs at once. 

Something like this: http://www.wowhead.com/talent-calc/hunter/beast-mastery/MNh0

Or this: http://www.wowhead.com/talent-calc/hunter/beast-mastery/MNe0

Should work just fine.

Thank you for your tips.  I actually picked up a Chill Turtle yesterday and now my pet does not die ...its amazing how that turtle can tank.

But I shall check out the info and see what tweaks I can make to my build.  I am an older person with slower reflexes so I try for simple, useful talent choices that I can string together to provide a decent synergy of action.  I tend to send in the pet(s) *now that I have the blue lighting wolf, and pause while they get aggro...then start firing away. 

I truly love BM...have always loved the pet hunters so was disappointed to find I could not use my pets with either of the other two specs.  Too bad.

What?? Survival always uses a pet, you just can't use exotic pets. 

Marksmanship can also choose to use a pet. It's a bit less damage in raids and dungeouns, but hardly noticeable while questing and soloing.

ok, well I was under the impression the Lone Wolf was the only MM option and survival did not have a pet.

I have another question.  On this page https://www.icy-veins.com/wow/marksmanship-hunter-pve-dps-spec-builds-pet-talents I was looking at the #10 part about pets.  It says to choose ferocity for my pet.  But once I setup the spec using the talent choices shown there, I can't even choose that, I can't call out a pet so what am I missing here?

I think I figured out what is wrong here....your guide setup assumes you have your artifact weapon already.  I only have it for BM and not for MM or Survival...so I did some digging but cannot find any updated information on Icy-Veins pages for pre-artifact talent/skill suggestions.

Is there an archived set somewhere I can look at?

Im still a little confused about the relic rankings. I have a 850 relic in my weapon, but it is for 3% increased dmg for cobra shot. I just got an 840 that is for jaws of thunder. I don't know if i should keep the 850 with crappy trait or replace with the 840 with the better trait. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

With lone wolf selected as a talent you can't call on a pet. Change talents and you should have no problem.

I cannot use Lone Wolf because it seems to want the artifact weapon....which I do not have yet.

I am trying to find pre-artifact MM and Survival setups so I can go get those weapons, but all I find anywhere are Legion setups that seem to include the artifact weapon already.

I just want to be able to survive getting through to acquire the artifact weapon so I can use the new Legion builds and setups.  I can't even find something older than Legion at this point.  I was hoping there would be an archived guide I could look at in order to achieve this.

I am a bit frustrated since all the videos and "guides" I have come across for pre-Legion seem to have talents no longer in the specs...so I am flying blind and need some help please.

Lone Wolf is not an Artifact talent, it is a normal talent.  In the guide that you linked, the pet spec choice is only relevant if you do not choose the Lone Wolf talent.  The build in the Marksmanship guide is entirely viable before you get your artifact weapon.

Thank you for your response.  I actually caught up with a guild mate who helped me set up a MM build.  I have been using this most of the night leveling up to 102 so I can start the artifact weapon quest tomorrow.

What I finally got setup works a lot better than what I originally had.  Some things I moved around and the suggested talents he gave me are working fairly well.  As you can see these don't follow the ones on Icy-Veins page but once I get the MM artifact quest completed, I'll revisit the page and redo my setup.

oops...it appears because of my browser hiccup, I ended up with two posts...one I started and the one I edited to add more explanation.

Is there a way to remove the top of the two?  I was looking for a way to delete it but could not figure out how to do that.

While leveling as MM, it was convenient to have Black Arrow in addition to pet. Even with Misdirection and Tenacity talent tree, MM pet isn't very good at holding aggro, and it was convenient to have Black Arrow tanking any additional mobs I would pull. Black Arrow also proved to be useful in rare mob hunting, as the pet isn't that tanky.

Consider also using Patient Sniper. It is harder to play with, but has potential to do much more damage, and it's better for leveling as well so you don't have to ramp up your Marked Shot / Aimed Shot damage.

      Cataclysm's Grim Batol has been added to the Mythic+ Dungeon rotation in The War Within Season 1, and one boss received a brand new model recently on the Alpha.
      General Umbriss, the first boss of the dungeon, got a shiny new model, which is quite different from his previous one. Below is a screenshot of the old a new model.

      Blizzard have clarified why players are able to get a full Spark of Awakening through the two available Splinters in the first week of Dragonflight Season 4, and it seems it's only for this week and only due to catch-up rules being enabled! 
      Splintered Spark (Source)
      Just want to confirm this with some details.
      Everyone essentially started Season 4 in catch-up mode. Players were able to get 1 Splintered Spark of Awakening from the weekly quest, whether that’s the weekly “Last Hurrah” quest or the PvP weeklies offered by Malicia.
      And then you’re able to get another splinter / half-spark from any valid catch-up sources, such as Mythic+, Awakened Raids, and PvP wins.
      Next week and thereafter, only one Splintered Spark is obtainable every week. And like Seasons 2 and 3, with the increasing cap on Splintered Sparks per week, and if you ever fall behind you will be able to get Splintered Sparks from any catch-up source.

      It seems there may be an easier way to obtain the Tusks of Mannoroth appearance during the Mists of Pandaria Remix event! 
      The tusks are one of the rarest transmogs in the game currently, even with the recently added Siege of Orgrimmar skip, as their drop rates are VERY low (0.1-0.3%, reportedly). As spotted by MrGM, the new Tusks of Mannoroth are a cosmetic appearance item added in the new limited time event. Now, some have suggested they may just be purchasable from the Bronze vendor (the currency that will drop off of pretty much anything in the event), making them pretty easy to get, but it seems there might be a different way to get them. 
      It's unclear whether the cosmetic will actually be purchasable or if it will drop somewhere else, but another interesting Mannoroth-related item was added as well, the Bones of Mannoroth, which may be related to the cosmetic.

      As you can see the bones are a stackable resource you gain from killing Garrosh, and it's looking like they're a way to guarantee the Tusk appearance with enough kills! Just how many drop is unclear, but assuming you need all 20 for the appearance and that Normal drops 1, Heroic 2 and Mythic 3 bones, it may take at least 7 weeks to get them. Now the number required might be/is likely to be lower than the 20  stack maximum, and we may get more bones per kill.
      But even at 7 weeks it's much, much easier to get than the current "hope for 0.3%" in retail, so it's still a pretty good deal! This may or may not upset players that farmed for the tusks for a long time the regular way, but there's a whole lot players that will be thrilled!
      The Remix: Mists of Pandaria event starts on May 16th and should last until August 19th.
