Beast Mastery Hunter 7.3

Recommended Posts

Blah, just play what u feel more comfortable with, the guide is, just that..  a GUIDE, not a hard/fast rule.  personally, if folks do the fight right, idk if they pull 10x the numbers, a dead hunter is a bad hunter.  i would rather enjoy the spec. and if a guide can help u maybe get a little more dps from a spec u like. great.   this guide is NOT all knowing.  somethings im doing different, and i get great numbers, vs following this like the "Bible".  its not.  u have to take several sources, do your own sims(take with grain of salt). and use real life logs..  some classes may be more . .cookie cutter.  but others , well. .u also have. .Player ability..  some are just better.. me, im an old guy, so a more mobile class allows me to stay out of bad and handle other fight machanics better. . just my .02

True, but a comment blanket stating that the guide is completely wrong with nothing to back it up was made and that's what we were responding to. It's great to play what you want, but it's not great to try and force a false statement into truth (BM being better than MM in logs - the statement he made) with context or information on the topic.

I really appreciate the sims on the legendaries, but could I request that you sim them at levels that we are likely to see without warforging or titanforging?  Like, BTI at 880, Engine of Eradication at 900, Cradle of Anguish at 915?

At that point, for personal comparison, you'll be better off using https://www.raidbots.com/simbot, honestly. To have every item level in a mass sim for Azor would require so long to compute and compile.

Hi all been a while since i posted here, anyways been busy doing sims and a lot of ingame testing of various legendery set ups, so thought id share my findings,

on fights with the chance to proc sephuz 'sephuz boots and aspect talented with 'stomp build is best'

on fights without chance to proc sephuz 'apex predators claw and boots talented with aspect is best' with stomp build

helter skelter mode favours sephuz and hectic add cleave favors apex predators claw instead'

may be worth simming those if you have them to see what results you can get.

When you mention to pick dire frenzy over stomp if you have extraordinarily high mastery,

how much exactly is that?

It depends on what sims higher. Use raidbots.com Talent Compare section to have a look. There's no particular number but DF may be better if you don't have good T19 pieces or you have quite low crit.

Currently I have 60% mastery and around 35% crit, which should I prioritize? 

RaidBots says I should go for Crit, and the talents suggested here on icy veins 

compared to what I'm using now shows a 4% loss in dps.

Definitely go Aspect then, that's a massive dps difference. 

Although if you're running stomp at all you don't want Bestial Fury, you'd want One With the Pack - maybe resim yourself with Killer Cobra and One With the Pack as well.

I should just prioritize crit as it is now then, right? 

Still slightly behind from what I'm currently using, I appreciate all the help and hints so far, ty very much.

Yeah - not sure if anything will cause a change in 7.3 in a week, but doubtful.

Only change to BM is a slight aura buff, that's it. Still prioritise crit.

What do you consider to be 'low Mastery'?    Anything below 50%?  70%?  It would be helpful to know, since there is this qualifier in the recommendations and there isn't a cap.  Thanks in advance.

https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/talents

Use this to simulate which would be better. It's even based on weapon ilvl, traits, trinkets, legendaries, everything. I have 85% mastery I think and I run Aspect as it sims higher because of my traits and legendaries.

Great job determining number values for easy comparision of t2 and t3 crucible bonuses. But my question is, how are these compared to trait values? How do I calculate if my lower ilvl relic with better t2+t3 traits is worth to equip it instead of higher ilvl but worse traits?

The relics all have their trait values listed here:

https://www.icy-veins.com/wow/beast-mastery-hunter-pve-dps-artifact-talents-traits-relics

Use that and the information on the Crucible page to basically just add the numbers up and compare your final value.

Hello Blainie,

Apologies if it was already asked (banging my head over this)

Everything is fine with trait value for crucible (t2/t3row etc)

I assume that is for equal ilvl relics

What if my current equipped relic is ilvl62 and i want to replace it with a 58 ilvl relic with better traits (how do i calculate the missing ilvl difference)

I came up with a tactic, please correct me if i am wrong (62+ current trait value of relic+ t2 value +t3 value /// compare to 58+ current trait value + t2 value +t3 value)

Short example 62ilvl unfurling origination (pack leader) vs 58ilvl flawless pearl (jaws) (Stomp build)

62+3.9(pack)+7.8(secure in the light t2 trait)+4.4(unleash the beast t3 trait) vs 58+5(jaws)+8.9(torment t2)+7.2(slithering serp t3)

Am i doing right ?

 

P.S i checked the link u posted for the other guy asking the same thing, but it doesn't say anywhere how to calculate me ilvl difference (either lower or greater ilvl differences than current equipped)

Thanks in advance

Yeah, exactly. You're just adding up the numbers.

The weapon item level value for the relic traits under the stomp build are not in the correct order.

It is listed as:

1. Jaws of Thunder = 5

2. Slithering Serpents = 7.2

Does this guide account for the diminishing returns of Torment the Weak?  My assumption is that since multiple stacks of Torment the Weak doesn't increase damage, it just increases the application rate, this being the case, wouldn't it hit the 3 stack more frequently and cause a reduction in efficiency of stacking that trait?

      Tama's Dragonflight Helper is a Weakaura that displays a weekly to-do list in the game and it's been updated for Dragonflight Season 4!
      The WeakAura is very useful for keeping track of everything in the game at max level. It shows you a to-do list with the weekly tasks, provides you with the locations of rares, super rares, information about your current Renown standing, and more.



      You will find Tama's Dragonflight Helper at wago.io. Please note that you must first download and install WeakAuras 2 to import the string.

      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.

      Players who opened their cache after 2:30 p.m. PDT today should find that they received the intended reward(s).
      Thank you!

      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.
