Comment by nastywafflesxxxSo the bow is still needed. Very good design.Comment by BubonictLmao. So cringe. Can’t just let BM be broken like other specs in the game huh. Really glad for when 10.1 comes around hunter will just be trash.Comment by DragonseekerSo the bow is still needed. Very good design.Comment by ArviuSo the bow is still needed. Very good design.Comment by BubonictYa know. If we has a cooldown like Wild spirits in our class tree. Every single hunter spec would be fun and viable. But you decided to take the one good thing from shadowlands away from hunters but most of the other classes got the cool abilities 🥸🥸🥸Comment by WarhoundYa know.

Our power should't come by a single weapon, which drops very rarely from the hardest to kill (with pug) boss

Very good design.Comment by cpuriThat's a good summary, but it is missing one key figure:
How much damage difference is there between having the bow and not having the bow?

For example:
If you do 1000 dps now with the bow, and you get 1.5% damage increase, you end up at 1015 dps.
If you do 800 dps now without the bow, and you get 9.5% damage increase, you end up at 876dps.

So the bow would still be mandatory.Comment by Loner705Sooo, BM was the best ST dps in the game by quite a large margin, and they BUFF IT EVEN MORE? Blizzard is so clueless with their changes..Comment by DargarotThat's a good summary, but it is missing one key figure:
