Brang - How i play BM in Legion (PvP Guide) 

Glad to see you're still around too :)

+Keeper01 Always buddy.

Thanks bud. Means a lot.

We'll see what this year brings. 2014 and 2015 was super chill. 2016 was the worst year of my life.

We'll see what happens.

I don't do research. These things just come to me. Like the rings from sonic when you get near them :P

Thanks dude! I'm currently 2k in 2s as BM. 1700 in 3s as MM though. My 3s team is made up of the a Ele shaman and Hpally. That's not a viable comp but let's see if the patch on tuesday will do anything. I just wish Beastcleave was still a thing.

Haha what music?

Depends, that time i was listening to the "favourites" which contains your videos too. I do watch your videos not only for the gameplay, but also for listening good music. I'm checking my subscribed channels daily, if you have uploaded some legion hd massacre. Keep up the good work, and i wish you the best!

That's cool. I'll upload some stuff when they change MM a bit. BM is far to simple to even make a video out of it.

Not only is the spec not fun, the damage and artifact is a joke. What do you do as a MM to burst people down? True Shot and then Arcane Shot (or multishot) and Marked Shot. You can literally make a castsequence macro to do Arcane Shot > Marked Shot for the entire duration of True Shot. Everything in the artifact is boring. Just flat dmg increase that adds no depth to the class. At least as BM everything in the spec is smooth. The artifact adds interesting talents like KC heal, KC having a chance to deal additional nature dmg, TBW affecting your 2nd pet. Stuff like that. As BM you deal a lot more dmg and a lot easier too. Where as MM you have to stand still and it's not rewarding at all. And finally, BM actually feels like a Hunter. Whereas MM is just some paper archer. That was huge for me. I do not feel like a Hunter when I play as MM.

I'm good, man. Things are a lot different in this xpac. Specs aren't made for you to solo a bunch of people now. You have weaknesses and you need your team mates to fill that in for you. MM is great in 3s for sure. But 1v1 it's not even the shadow of what the spec was capable of in the previous years.

Yeah is not unfortunately the pruning changed everything. But still I have managed to do very cool things with it. Something you said is really sad but true "Specs aren't made for you to solo a bunch of people now" and it sucks because with good skill and practice you could do awesome things to other players i miss that skill gap it was something to strive for, there is almost no depth in the current design. Don't get me started with world pvp.

Haha for sure man! I only go MM for 3s. But for world quests I go BM because the pvp out there is insanely broken. But let's see what the NEXT xpac brings us ;)

Spencer Waters who are you on eternal

@DeusOmniumSemper I am not as good as a player, but I can enjoy watching pvp videos and I love mostly the hunter ones.

Its fun, on demand and strong

Please tell me you're not the feral I teabagged at the end :O

That was me, yes. :(

We've noticed a change in the feral play style since legion launched which is generally undesirable for our comp. So our natural reaction to killing you was to celebrate in an unruly manner. Nothing against you as a player, just the spec itself. We've also learned that some of our fans might fall victim to our post-win antics, so from here on out we will tone down our shenanigans. These changes include no longer t-bagging, or offensive emoting. However aggressive left and right strafing on your lifeless corpse shall remain a staple of our victorious endeavors in WoW arena.

I was in wod too.

SV kinda sucks against any melee. You will depend a lot on healers for you to stay alive. The problem with SV is that it requires you to kill a target to get some benefits. Like heal, CD reduction on heal, resetting CD on harpoon ect. All those things would of been nice if you had a way to proc them mid fight. A survivalist needs to survive during a encounter. Not when the fight is over -_-

Hunters need a lot of work.

+Keeper01 thats how I feel

which they ain't gonna get...and that's sad..

BM dominated pvp in the beginning of MoP. Then MM took over when they buffed MM. Unless they make Aimed Shot castable while moving or buffing it's dmg by 15-20%. Im not going to play a spec where I'm Focus capped waiting for a proc to deal OK dmg.

Sylvana is the pvp server in EU. English server.

+Keeper01 Well, I checked the Horde-Alliance ratio, it's not as I wanted. Alliance pop is way too much for me. I think I'll go Defians Brotherhood which has almost 1:1 ratio. Thank you, and keep up the great work! Your videos give me determination to work on my hunter.

Westra J brang @ spinebreaker US

Thanks Man

I feel like SV isn't a complete spec. Maybe it'll become a true melee spec in the NEXT xpac. It has too many "on kill" buffs to make it viable.

SV is a lil better now, I've just made a video. But still we can't do what we were used to do in the previous years, with cc's, 1 vs 2/3 etc, no matter what spec you play. Damn, nostalgia is killing me :D You still on BM sir?

Alessandro Grossi I was 1800 in 2s and 3s but our monk healer disappeared. Then our pally healer finally lvled up and we dropped to 1600. The nerfs to BM were uncalled for. But right now I'm working on MM. I'm just waiting for the next patch now so I can go back to making videos as MM. As far as SV goes. I don't like it. Compare it to the other melees that do crazy burst damage with only 2-3 buttons. SV has to put rend, explosive trap, dragon grenade, Crows, Spam mongoose 6 times AND THEN use your artifact weapon. That's waaaaaaaaaay too much GCDs and time to call it burst. There's too much setup for mediocre damage. Other classes just press their burst CD and then press 2-3 keys. Yes nostalgia is killing me too.

Keeper01 I'm working on the mm artifact too, But i think it's Pretty hard to kite as MM right now, I'm hoping for the next patch too :D

Let's find out ;)

Right on, so Survival video coming? I'd like to know if you're considering it for Legion.

I'm messing around with it.

That's what's up Brang. Thanks for the reply! You're the GOAT!

faboo nope. Cuz thats not how it works. Since auto attack isn't a spell, it will always fire on ur target. What u could do is to switch ur targeting and have all your skills shoot @focus and then take a normal tab target to auto attack on. But that would just be wierd to play with i think.

That's why you have to spam your macro.

I go BM for 2s/mythic+ and MM for 3s. I have 36+ traits in both artifact weapons. SV is the only one I haven't completed yet. I'll invest in SV eventually but right now I have to play the specs that work with my comp. BM and MM are the only specs that work with a Ele/Enh Shaman. And even then we still get outcomped by anything else simply because hunters and shamans don't work well together anymore. Which is sad since that's all I played with for the last 3 expansions. I don't have anyone else so we have to do our best with what we've got.

Haha nobody is forcing us to do anything. It's 100% a PvE talent to give you a boost on the first few minutes of the boss fight. I just made it work in PvP :P

I do from time to time. Problem is that people are so used to watching me in beast mode that when I stream It comes out a little boring because I'm just relaxing and doing dailies. The people that watch me stream are usually the people who are there for me and not my pvpness. I'd stream every day if this was Cata because back then I had all my hunter tools and I could make really sick plays in BGs. In other words, I had mad fun in BGs back then. Now I die to random noobs simply because they have a healer and I don't have any CC or the fact that I have something on CD. I'm not a guy who is full of pride, but it does suck that I die to random people now simply because they took away my CC and defensives.

Tafferboy!

hey can you show what u take in Honor talens pls? nice video btw:D

I do. I'm not a webcam and talk to myself type of streamer though.

can you link ur stream pls ?

/focus

bro a last question , hmmm Because you have not uploaded videos ahh xD and... what's estatus main from hunter bm?

Nope. It scales off of your Attack Power. It does your Attack Power x2. Mine does 46,267 off every single Frenzy hit. So 46,267 x 5 = 231,335 damage non crit. If some of your Frenzy crits you can do 400k+ dmg. It's also nature damage so it goes through armor unlike Stomp which is physical. Overall Stomp will deal more dmg since it procs more and it does nice cleave dmg. But Frenzy + Titan's Thunder is far better when you go in for the kill after the healer is CCed.

I bow to the great master. Teach me your ways. Or I will just watch more videos you post. Watch and learn eh? LOL ok cool. I do however notice 3 hits more then 5 I will try with another pet. or log out and in again see if its server lag. Thanks for getting my head right on it.

Check your combat log ;)

Everybody is a blood elf.

You don't need a addon for that.

sweet thanks
