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.

      We'd like to introduce you to a game-changing nameplate addon for Season 4 that's essential for excelling in Mythic+ dungeons.
      Tracking every mob and their abilities in Mythic+ can be overwhelming, but this addon excels by replacing standard mob nameplates and cast bars to enhance your gameplay.
      Once installed, mobs with critical interrupts will display a thick orange cast bar, while less crucial ones will show a thinner yellow bar.

      Mobs with less crucial interrupts will have a thinner yellow cast bar.

      Additionally, any mobs that inflict heavy frontal cone damage are marked with an arrow and feature orange cast bars. A voice alert will also prompt you to move by announcing "front."

      The addon further assists by indicating non-interruptible spells that require crowd control with a purple cast bar and a vocal "cc" alert.

      For tanks, if you're not holding aggro, the nameplates of the mobs will turn red, quickly showing you which ones to target.

      There's also a handy visual cue on the cast bar, surrounded by a green border, signaling when you can interrupt an ability and your interrupt skill is off cooldown.

      Ready to try it out?
      You can download Quazii Plater here.
      For setup assistance, watch Quazii's comprehensive video guide.
      Quazii has also created a Mythic+ cheatsheet that details all critical abilities for Season 4 dungeons, available in a text format.

      Players are currently unable to catalyze gear from the Black Temple Timewalking cache into class set piece.
      It's unclear whether this limitation is a bug or an intended feature, but the gear obtained from completing this week's Black Temple Timewalking quest cannot be converted into a set piece using the Revival Catalyst, as reported on Reddit.
      I personally checked this at Antuka and can confirm that gear from the weekly quest cache cannot be catalyzed. I received the Grips of Damnation from the Essence boss yesterday, and found that the item was ineligible for conversion at the Catalyst.

      Here's how you can upgrade your legendary weapons in Dragonflight Season 4 next week!
      This one is for Fyr'alath and Nasz'uro owners. You must first farm 2 Antique Bronze Bullions. However, you can only acquire 1 Antique Bronze Bullion per week from Awakened Raid bosses. The bullion will drop in Raid Finder difficulty too.
      Next week, the cap will be raised to 2 and a catch-up method will be implemented, so players who didn't have the chance to get their first bullion can get it from the weekly quest in Valdrakken.
      Anyway, the soonest you can upgrade your legendary to the base item level of 502 is during the week of April 30th (so next week).
      Once you have 2 Antique Bronze Bullions, head to the Parting Glass in Valdrakken.

      Evokers need to buy Scale of Awakening from Iszinormi for 2 Antique Bronze Bullions. Death Knights, Paladins, and Warriors need to buy Scale of Awakening from Iszinormi for  2 Antique Bronze Bullions. Once purchased, use the consumable to upgrade your legendary to item level 502, the base item level for Season 4.
      After that, you can further upgrade your legendary using Flightstones and crests. Check out our gear upgrading guide for more info!
