Heya a question primarily for Azorthorian, in light of the simulation craft bug which has now been fixed and shows stomp build identical with dire frenzy now, will you be updating your guide to reflect this? also im yet to meet a mm hunter that can do more dps than me, is this still the optimal raiding spec? many thanks

From the MM vs BM perspective, MM relies more heavily on the correct legendaries this tier and T20 4pc - BM not as much. Also if you look at the logs comparing the two specs, they're not that different on some fights, with MM coming in well ahead on the heavier AoE fights. I'm the same though, my guild has another BM hunter and an MM hunter and I'm yet to find competition with either. It's ultimately down to the individual players you come across.

+1 can the sims be rerun to confirm this? I'd prefer keep the zoo stomp build if truly it is competitive to DF build even in full T20 no T19. (No luck on the leggo ring yet but I did get the chest so 2pc T19 is not possible with T20)

Not much point asking for generic sims to be done to show which build you should pick, if you do your own on raidbots.com and use the gear compare function and just change your talents in game and export with the simc addon, you'll find it really easy to compare. 

For example, my character at 916 using the zoo build with 37% crit, 22% haste and 69% mastery sims the same as I would a few ilvls higher in full T20 and with almost 100% mastery and lower crit and haste using the DF build. So for the moment I've taken a back-seat on loot and let my guildies gear up until we move into mythic or no one needs the heroic gear anymore.

I currently have 4 set ToS and 2 NH (going Ring/Belt legends). At what point is the 2 set worth dropping? I have 895 for both (Hero WF). I just don't know how the 50% extra damage will factor if I replace gear  that is 915+ (with right stats of course). I'm 36/14/76 stat wise. Best average parse is 76 for ToS normal, but I feel I should be higher (have 3 in high 60s).

From my understanding the NH 2p still is worth 20ilvl in benifit.  meaning , from what some have told me, unless u have an item to replace both thats 20-30 ilvl above, keep the 2p. NH.  im doing some testing but , at some point the ilvl stats will push the set bonus to be worthless.

That would be a fantastic combo, although from my experience you might want to drop some of that mastery for some haste - but the ring/belt combo with 2pc T19 as well as 4pc T20 works fantastic. 

Have you got logs of your performance? It could be due to a number of factors but there's a good chance if you're only parsing in the 60s and 70s you're making some major errors or your guild kills things incredibly slowly.

Oh, I have some higher. I'm not the greatest player, I just try to not be the worst. I don't think I get enough KC's off and find myself using CS too much, and my relics are Pack x2 and CS %, cause they are the best ilvl.  I'll stick with 2 Set then.

It is essentially a slightly worse stat stick from what I know, so you can use the crit stat stick value from the testing sheet. It should average out at a 50% proc rate, meaning it will provide just under the normal stat stick value.

Yeah, your percentiles are quite nice but I can't do much without you actually linking your WCL page to me or giving me a character name.

Hi, welcome to the forums!

1. Yes, ideally if you want to move into DF/BF build you want chest/belt so two items from T1.

2. Yes, definitely a viable (and very strong!) combo to run with the Stomp build!

Hi, I got the SoH and Belt as legendaries

How's is Stomp build rotation? Coz idk what have priorities

Example in BW with Killer Cobra u refresh ur Kill Command with Cobra shot, should I spam Kill/Cobra till end of BW or theres something different between Stomps? 

 

Please help,

Thanks and best regards

what is the best sim for "typical" m+ trash fights? "Hectic Add Cleave"? or is it just the same stat and item prioritization than for patchwerk fights (except "obvious" single target items like terror from below)?

Yeah, HAC should work fine for it. You likely won't find much different between the two sets, perhaps some slight shift in weights but nothing major.

Before yesterday's update to the guide it showed the specs simming with MM in first, BM in second, and Survival well in third. With the new update it shows that Survival has pulled ahead of BM but it looks like MM, while still in first has taken a hit also. Can you explain what accounts for these changes?

I think this was just due to retesting, but I'll ask Azor and let you know.

So, essentially, from Azor:

Survival received an update to SimCraft that unlocked the spec's potential in many ways (or rather, it was always there but because so few play it, it was never uncovered and still arguably isn't ingame). It is clear that SV does more single target, but in practice on Goroth Mythic, the statistics favour BM still. Partly due to ease of play, partly due to so few playing SV.

Hope this helps!

It does. I don't like the lack of mobility in MM so I may consider SV over BM. Thanks Blainie!!!

With the changes to SV, it's an incredibly complex spec to play and has by far the highest skill-cap. Not to dampen your excitement but you should at least try and run quite a few dungeons as both SV and BM, with the way SV is now it's very complex and you'll probably have more success as BM in ToS.

Good to know. Once I'm geared up I'll try them both and see which one performs better for me. Thanks.

The original Poster in this guide is an MM snob, BM appears to get a bad rep why?, I out DPS all MM hunter in my guild and in pugs, it takes a MM to outgear me by 15 ilvls to reflect this the crap this guide is spouting

 

Siming is clearing flawed,  actual logs might actually be a true reflection.

I'd give SV some time to properly practise it before you push it aside, especially if you enjoy playing it. It's hard, for sure, but can put out solid numbers and be really fun if you get it right.

Did you perhaps think that, possibly, you are playing alongside bad players?

As for your "actual logs" remark, I think WCL can answer this for me:

https://www.warcraftlogs.com/rankings/13#class=Hunter&difficulty=4

Perhaps I'm reading it wrong, but I'm fairly certain those are MM Hunters all over the top ranks.

Different fights suit different specs. MM is in general a better ST spec but BM run all over it where there is movement. Take Method's KJ kill for example, they had 3 MM hunters, yet on Avatar they had 3 BM hunters. 

I outdps most of the people in my guild on ST fights, especially if there's movement, but that doesn't mean BM is the best spec ever it just means I can play it better than some of the others play their class. 

Wanna back up your claim with some logs or numbers so you can actually show how good you are?

      If you plan on buying the physical War Within Collector's Edition and live in Europe, you're going to have a bad time!
      Blizzard has ceased distributing WoW Collector's Editions through retailers with the release of Dragonflight, making the Blizzard Store the only place to buy them. However, the shipping costs could be a dealbreaker for many collectors eager to acquire the latest edition for the upcoming expansion.
      Reddit user katamai from Serbia posted a screenshot of their order, revealing that the shipping fees exceed the cost of the box itself—280 Euros for shipping compared to 200 Euros for the box, totaling 480 Euros.

      Additionally, Emi, a follower on our Facebook page, reported a shipping cost of 99 Euros to Romania, nearly ten times what it costs to ship to the UK.

      A practical workaround might be to order the Collector's Edition to a UK address and then use a shipping service to forward it to your address in Europe, potentially saving a considerable amount of money.
      How much does it cost to ship the box to your country?

      We've already talked about and taken a first look at the Delve-specific mount coming in the War Within, but now it's time to check out all of its customization options! 
      LeystTV has delved into the mount and shown off all the options, from the different colors to nose, wing, thruster, and top customizations, with glider, blimp, helicopter looks and more! There's even different versions of Horde and Alliance decals to choose from! 

      And these may not even be all the options present at launch, not to mention new ones Blizzard might add with later patches, making this one of the cooler mounts in the game.

      We have a Crest switch fix and weekly maximum increase, as well as a quest fix in retail, the big class tuning pass for Season of Discovery, and more in today's hotfixes.
      April 23 (Source)
      Items
      Season 3 (Dreaming) crests are now correctly removed from players' currency tabs. Players have received a small amount of gold for their unused Dreaming Crests. Players can now earn up to 120 crests of each type per week in Dragonflight Season 4 (was a maximum of 90 per week in Season 3). This will allow for up to 8 upgrades per week, per crest type (was 6 in Season 3). Developers' notes: For players who don't reach their maximum crest earnings in a given week, we've implemented the increasing-seasonal-cap system from previous seasons. Please note that this increase is likely applicable to Season 4 only. We expect the weekly maximum to return to 90 for The War Within Season One. Quests
      Resolved an issue where abandoning the quest "Something Worth Celebrating" could make it unavailable. Cataclysm Classic
      The dates for Children’s Week have been adjusted so that the holiday begins and ends three days later than previously scheduled. Season of Discovery
      Players who have completed the quest "Warranty Claim" but have misplaced their Pristine G-7 C.O.R.E. Processor before handing in the quest "Salvaging the Salvagematic" may now speak with the Lost and Found vendor Rix Xizzix in Booty Bay to recover the misplaced quest item. Fixed a Sunken Temple issue where the Atal'ai Defenders encounter would not reset properly. Druid The Natural Weapons talents now increases all damage done by druids in Season of Discovery, instead of just physical damage. The Gale Winds rune now reduces the mana cost of Hurricane by 60%. Swiftmend no longer consumes a Rejuvenation or Regrowth effect on the target when used. Developers’ notes: Please note that it does still require Rejuvenation or Regrowth to be on the target to be used. Hunter Rapid Killing now reduces the cooldown of Rapid Fire by 80% (was a reduction of 2 minutes). Chimera Shot weapon damage percent increased to 135% (was 120%). Explosive Shot base damage before attack power increased by 50%. Sniper Training has an additional new effect: while Sniper Training is at 5 stacks, Aimed Shot is instant. Serpent Spread now causes Multi-shot to apply Serpent Sting to its targets for 12 seconds (was 6 seconds). Steady Shot now deals 100% weapon damage (was 75%). Developers’ notes: There are more adjustments coming for Hunters. In general, we intend to improve the ranged playstyle and diminish the melee playstyle so that the two become more equivalent. Paladin Seal of Righteousness damage can now be critical hits. Sacred Shield’s duration is extended to 60 seconds (was 30 seconds). Crusader Strike has now gained an additional effect: Crusader strike now refreshes all judgement effects active on the target to a 30 second remaining duration. Seal of Martyrdom can now “twist” with other seals, including Seal of Command. Developers’ notes: Seal twisting was an interesting emergent effect that became popular during the original Burning Crusade, that utilized the slower server messaging system used in early versions of WoW to slightly extend the duration of the paladin’s active seal for a short time whenever a second seal was cast. This effectively allowed paladins to momentarily gain the benefit of two seals at once if they timed the application of a new seal to line up perfectly just before their weapon swing. We recreated this playstyle in Burning Crusade Classic and since then it’s been a popular request in other versions of original WoW, including Season of Discovery. As the game matures and we continue to listen to player feedback however, we recognize that for some, this is part of the charm and uniqueness of playing a paladin during those early eras of WoW’s history. We consider this change to be experimental and we will watch the performance and behavior of Retribution closely after this change. Priest Shadowform now increases all shadow damage done by 25% (was 15%). Rogue Saber Slash bleed now stacks up to 5 times. Saber Slash bleed now also increases the impact damage done by Sinister Strike and Saber Slash by 15% per stack for the rogue who applied the bleed. Saber Slash bleed now deals 3% of the rogue’s Attack Power in damage per tick (was 5%). Shaman Mental Dexterity now only triggers from dealing damage with Stormstrike and Lava Lash, and it now lasts 30 seconds (was 10 seconds). Burn now increases Flame Shock Damage by 100% and flame shock DoT duration by 6 seconds, and causes Flame Shock to strike up to 5 targets (was 3 targets). Developers’ notes: We’ve received a lot of feedback about the overall usability of mental dexterity, particularly for Elemental Shamans. This ability was not intended to be used by elemental, so the adjustments we’ve made are to help ensure its usage is a bit more enhancement-centric. To compensate, we’ve increased the output and usability of the Burn rune, with a slight quality-of-life improvement in the form of a Flame Shock duration increase which allows two Lava Burst casts to be used within a single Flame Shock duration.
