Beast Mastery Hunter Feedback -- Build 21531

Also if somebody calls for a "Stop DPS" a BM Hunter has to unequip their weapon or dismiss their pet in order to even attempt to stop Hati from doing anything which is absolutely rediculous.
I'm unsure if the change made it into this build or not, but Hati will respect the normal pet commands you issue and go passive when you want your pet to stop attacking.
The 2 minute debuff is almost entirely there for PvP reasons and should have almost no effect in PvE. I do relaize Hati's health is currently abnormally low, it will be fixed to be higher than what it currently is.

Marksmanship Hunter Feedback -- Build 21570

There was literally no gameplay change from the Hunter's Mark change.

That change was made to make it clear what affected it; the previous version made it seem like casting Arcane Shot more would give you more procs (which it never did; it's RPPM).


You don't think this is going to have the majority of us crop up autoshot trackers on the UI?
No, why would you? (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Hunter News of the Week - 04.16. - 04.22.

Hunter Tweets

  • Just because ability isn't rotation doesn't make it worth removing. Camo as a talent. No instance CC as MM. No Deterrence.
    Marks does have instant CC (Bursting Shot), and does have Deterrence (Aspect of the Turtle). (Celestalon)
  • Instant 4s CC not the same as "CC that target so we can kill the rest". 30% reduced damage(still can't attack) not immunity.
    Aspect of the Turtle is literally Deterrance in functionality when pressed. (Celestalon)

    Lone Wolf will still be available as a talent (and will be extremely competitively tuned). Can still be petless if you like. (Celestalon)
  • Fury of the Eagle is consuming all my stacks of Mongoose Bite when I use it, it's a bug or intended?

Beast Mastery Spell Animations, Updated Dire Beasts

Beast Mastery hunters are on today's news on WoWhead. We have a preview of the new spells including Hati's Bond, as well as an image gallery of all the new beasts you can summon for Dire Beast. In Legion, every single zone will have unique Dire Beasts; currently every zone on a continent shares models.

Beast Mastery Spell Animations

Beast Mastery Hunters are the next for WoWhead's Legion Spell Animations series (check out their playlist for more spell animations).



This video highlights Dire Beast updates, which you can learn more about in today's news, and Hati, the pet summoned with your Artifact Weapon Titanstrike. Notable abilities are Titan's Thunder, Surge of the Stormgod, Hati's Bond, and Master of Beasts. Additional colors for Hati may be on the way; we have a model video showing off the other tints.
