I had to re-learn BM as i havent played since BFA. Your guide was exactly what i needed. Subbed straight away. Looking forward future videos from you. Great job!
I've played for a lot of expansions in the past but stopped playing after legion. Just getting back into it now. Well I'm married now and my wife wanted to play this game as well We just hit 60 2 weeks ago and she needs help on information on what to do for her class which is bm hunter. So thank you so much for your informative guide. This'll help her a lot.
Hey thanks for the explanation! I usually play the other 2 specs and didnt really know where to start, but this gave me literally all the information I need!!
Nice vid! Played wow when it first came out and not played for yearssss.. jumped back in last week and getting there with the BM Hunter. But this vid has helped alot.. especially with explaining which abilities to use in order and why. 👍👍 New sub from me!
@Tracken, awesome video mate. As an overwhelmed OG coming back to WoW not playing since Vanilla I was overwhelmed. This video was so well done. Informative and straight to the point with visuals to make things easy to understand. Well done! I love your UI. Is it possible to export your adding and layout so people like myself can bask in its glory?
Nice overview. I'd forgotten a lot of this stuff when I mained Elemental Shaman and Boomy the last few patches. I'm back up to speed by relearning frenzy! Thanks.
@@tracken so I have a question as I'm confused about priority. I got the 2 piece tier and tested the ferocious appetite conduit + Killer Cobra talent, which drops down AOTW cooldown significantly. Now while all cooldowns are popped, hero is up and I'm in wild spirits, goal is to maximize the number of barbed shots, however, now Kill Command and Cobra shot also start taking priority given the interaction between cobra shots and kill command which in turn lowers the cooldown of AOTW. Given that barbed shot is high on the priority ladder already and now suddenly within the Bestial wrath window, Cobra shot and Kill command start taking priority(due to Killer Cobra talent), what happens to the priority ladder. I'm assuming barbed shot will always take higher priority but certainly creates a conundrum when you are going through that cyclical Cobra Shot-Kill Command cycle when you are within the Bestial Wrath window? Not sure. Thoughts? Suggestions?
very clean video. TY for the rotation. I knew I had to be doing something wrong. still manage to out dps people. But always good to polish it up if I can.
Great video! my Soulbind is Niya, my highest secondary stat is Mastery, I don't have a second legendary, and my gear is like ilvl 238. Glad to know things can be vastly improved for me lol
I have subscribed my friend! Playing a BM Hunter, such a fun playstyle. I do notice the artifact pet Hati from BfA is a bit buggy, he seems to wander off and do his own thing pretty often!
Thanks for the video. I've been waiting on a high quality Hunter Video like this. I've been a prot paladin for so long to be "helpful" I decided to play something I am interested in. Question. If you're an Orc Hunter do you get 1% pet damage or 2% for 2 pets?
Well welcome to the hunter family, I definitely think you’ve made a good choice in terms of a fun class to play. Because of the hidden damage modifier for two pets the Orc racial will give you a total of 1.30% bonus pet damage (.65% per pet)
Really good guide man. Subbed. Good luck with your goal. One quick question. What is the best best stats for the legendaries? Some guides says haste/versa on both but i'm curious about your opinion.
Thank you! It really depends on your current stats and what you need more of, but haste verse is a strong option. I will likely put crit haste on mine when I recraft the 291 legendary though!
i feel that i lose a lot of damage outside spirits window on the other hand i see better results and higher overal damage playing venthyr on my bm. can you make a venthyr vs night fae comparison
Seen guides with bloodletting and ones with ferocious appetite, whats the scoop aoe vs single target, damage, focus regen? and after I eg ta four tier sould i be getting less crit and more haste for focus regen? Thanks!
at 11:03 the legendary "Fragments of the elder antlers" you say this is going te be crafted on our helm slot. Yet this can only crafted on the neck/chest piece?
There are LOTS of tenacity pets all around! If you tame a pet and it has a green turtle shell ability that you can use, that’s a tenacity pet. The one featured is Elegon which comes from a raid in Pandaria; Mugughan Vaults I believe. That ones really cool because it has a small heal that can heal you on a pretty low cooldown
Hi, amazing video. I had one question from a beginner BM hunter, how do you manage to not be out of energy on the middle of the rotation ? sometimes i just run out of focus and can't cast anymore, I don't know if I'm doing something wrong
If you’re playing BM perfectly you will end up being out of focus sometimes. This is not an error! Ideally try to cast two cobra shots for every kill command, you’ll still run out of focus sometimes but that’s the typical ratio you want to use
Hello Tracken, just tryed a Koryan and i can see potencial there, but what about Bestial wrath and ferocious appetite conduits? Should i stay with Bestial Wrath or should i switch it for ferocious appetite if i have 4set and 42% crit chance? Thanks for answer.
Uh, I heard that the belt was going to be the piece that we put Fragments of the Elder antlers on, not helm. Isn't the 4 piece set on head, shoulders, chest, hands or legs? Please double check this.
The belt is free from the story. The most optimal build is to recraft the Unity legendary onto your helmet for more stats and to use the 4-piece set in shoulders, chest, hands, and legs. You would not use the helm tier piece in the most optimal build
Hi, ive been using dreamweaver upto now for m+, i havent found teir set yet and looking at korayn i would have to love a potency conduit to ge the crit bonus, is it still worth it? also does korayn get worse once you have teir set because of the crit cap etc?
I'm a new player, and for a while after going to the Burning Steppes, my hunter (ranged) was doing 12K damage per shot on everything. Not at my PC at the moment, but I will tell what skill I was using as well as what 3 dungeons I literally 1 shot through (5 shots for the bosses) around level 25. It stopped after I decided to go to Kul Tiras and didn't happen again when I returned to Eastern. But if someone knows how this happened please let me know because it was kind of fun. I did this today Aug 18 2022. Most of the time I was Marksman with a little bit of Beast Hunter. Survival did not have this OP attack, but went OP again when I switched back to ranged.
They posted the change to the tier set a few hours ago. The 4 piece will allow you to choose a buffed Multi-Shot giving an additional 6 seconds of Beast Cleave. Pretty underwhelming, I hope they do something better.
Orc/Tauren/Troll Horde are close, ORC is the absolute best. Dwarf/mechagnome for alliance. I like mechagnome more more but Dwarf is likely 10 or 20 dps higher
Hey, Tracken, great content, thank you! Do the actual pets matter at all? ie: do 2 different pets of the same type (ferocity, etc) deal the same damage? So do we just choose whatever is aesthetically please to us or is there a min/max to pet? 2nd, you mentioned using NF for raid/single target. What are your thoughts on Venth for raiding/single target?
The actual pets matter very little. The choice primarily comes down to their passives: extra health, leach, or movement speed. The other factor to consider is you need lust/hero from your pet or if you’d rather have a defensive or the ability to remove cc from yourself. Basically, yes pick whatever you find the most aesthetically pleasing unless you need lust or a defensive. One important note is that spirit beasts can give you a small heal which makes them slightly better than other pets. Venthyr is unfortuanately going to not be good as good in 9.2 as it was in 9.1 due to us not having enough focus to spend on kill command spam and kill shot spam. It is a fun covenant though so if min/maxing damage is not your priority then you should play whatever you enjoy the modt
Venth has really nice and fun playstyle but wild spirits and the NF legendary is just way too broken for single target. You will never be able to beat the NF dps if you are venth.
for tenacity pet would you take bite over claw etc? ie spirit beast has a small heal plus the benefits of dmg reduction and health buff, over a tenacity pet with bite and no self heal or does it not matter?
@@tracken So where should we craft it initially if we have 1 piece of tier so far and it's the helm? :P thanks, Blizz! I was thinking of just leaving it on the belt until then?
Definitely a good option for Unity! Helm, legs, or chest are all valid. You can get 285 tier legs but only a 278 tier helm which which is why in a perfect world you would have a Unity helm, but until then Unity legs would be better because of the lack of mastery!
Hey there! Just subbed, nice thorough video! I need some advice though for someone looking to come back to wow. Haven’t played since Bfa. I understand I will need to level through shadowlands but after reaching 60 there are so many systems it kinda confuses me. Is there a particular order of things I should do to get caught up? What would be the most efficient way to get back in to the game? I would like to be relevant as quickly as possible. Thanks!!
In my opinion, the best way to gear is to buy basline i226+ gear with Anima from the Zereth Mortis vendors and then to run mythic+, pvp, or raids with that gear. I prefer mythic+ and raids myself
I would gear first. If you’re looking to catch up on end game stuff anyway. There are a plethora of actual content to get into. Covenants, mounts, torghast, etc. you want to get your boot legendary up as fast as possible and standard mythic dungeons are dropping 236 ilvl stuff which isn’t bad in terms of filling the gaps while gearing.
It can be hard to get into raids without good logs/exp. My suggestion is to apply to guilds around your skill level who are progressing the same things and then to keep climbing from their until you reach your goals. Alternatively pugging can be an option, and specifically hosting your own pug can be extremely worthwhile as you can pick people who you know you'll down the bosses with.
In mythic plus, running Korayn will likely over cap our crit (above 100%) for 10 seconds when we engage a new pack. Is this still more beneficial to run than Dreamweaver due to the other traits?
Yes, Korayn’s crit will put Kill command over the cap, but it will still be more damage because beast cleave, multi shot, wild spirit procs, stomp, etc... can still make good use of that cleave. The crit cap really only matters in Single Target where kill command becomes one of our largest damaging abilities. In single target it’s better to run dreamweaver for that reason
There are 5 pieces of tier and you only need 4 to achieve the set bonus. Therefore you use one of those slots for your legendary for the higher stat budget
Quick question, would it not be better in AOE situations like packs in M+ to multi shot once right after aspect / wild spirits to get beast cleave active while youre firing off your barbed shots, then reset beast cleave once you're done with that?
I had to re-learn BM as i havent played since BFA. Your guide was exactly what i needed. Subbed straight away. Looking forward future videos from you. Great job!

legend mate, just got back in after months a needed this big time
great guide, I did not know about the barb shot/stomp and wild spirit stuff that was huge
The secret only the best know, use it wisely :)
i did subscribed to support you and thanks for the info bro
What a fantastic video! You make it very easy to understand! Thanks for the help, I can't wait for more vids!

Loving the +6.sec to beast cleave with the 4 piece
Great video, appreciate the work you put in. Looking forward to putting it all into practice thanks.
Thanks for the vid just getting back into wow after a year off and need help with my hunter
Great video, glad you made it to 1k subs, keep up the good content

Thank you!
Awesome vid - thanks for the guide. Have subscribed looking forward to more :)
Good video, subbed. Looks like they added an aoe component to the tier set like you said 👍
I love the hunter changes in SL, back on my 15 yo hunter 🔥💪 thanks for this super cool guide
Thx man BM Bloodybeard-ysera and sargeras
Nice overview. I'd forgotten a lot of this stuff when I mained Elemental Shaman and Boomy the last few patches. I'm back up to speed by relearning frenzy! Thanks.

Since barbed shot is a DoT, should I be changing targets and spreading it around for more effectiveness or just spam it on one target?
at 11:03 the legendary "Fragments of the elder antlers" you say this is going te be crafted on our helm slot.
Yet this can only crafted on the neck/chest piece?
Unity can be crafted on every slot!
Great video and all. But im just wondering where i could get the tenacity pet from

Thanks for answer.
Both are competitive. Korayn wins out by a little bit in M+. Dreamweaver is better on single target by a LOT
@m4keyourself hey mate, it's called
One With the Beast
Requires Hunter
Bestial Wrath increases all damage you and your pet deal by an additional 1.0%.

Wait so our Unity leggo goes on our helm but what about the four set??
There’s 5 pieces but you only need 4 pieces of tier for the set bonus so you’re bis legendary slot is the helm
@@tracken So where should we craft it initially if we have 1 piece of tier so far and it's the helm? :P thanks, Blizz! I was thinking of just leaving it on the belt until then?
Can you go to covenants at the same time or max two out so you can use them or swap between them cause I wanna PVP but I also wanna PVe
Yes, you can swap between two different covenants in Oribos. However, each covenant has its own covenant level
Would it not be better to craft the lego on the trousers? once you have the 4 other tier pieces. Because trousers have mastery and thats no good?
Definitely a good option for Unity! Helm, legs, or chest are all valid. You can get 285 tier legs but only a 278 tier helm which which is why in a perfect world you would have a Unity helm, but until then Unity legs would be better because of the lack of mastery!
Guess i need to renown my Night Fae lol
When using barbed shot with AOE packs, should I spread the shot out to different mobs or use it them on the same target?
You can spread it for very minor dps gain!
Wow didn't know stomp proced spirits... nice
With the wild spirits legendary every barbed shot is 4 wild spirit procs per target hit so you can hit some insane damage that way lol

how do i get into raids without 3k rio and CE
It can be hard to get into raids without good logs/exp.

Alternatively pugging can be an option, and specifically hosting your own pug can be extremely worthwhile as you can pick people who you know you'll down the bosses with.
Spreading your frenzy to different mobs in aoe not a thing anymore?
You can absolutely do this, but the dot damage is very negligible. It is probably slightly overall better dps if you choose to do this however
I'm confused what empowers your cobra shot? I keep seeing yours light up
The 4 piece tier set - when Kill Command crits
@@tracken ahh ok thank you. Was lost

How can u have both leggos on teir slots and still get 4 piece? You said unity on helm rylakks on boots. Am I missing something
There are 5 pieces of tier and you only need 4 to achieve the set bonus. Therefore you use one of those slots for your legendary for the higher stat budget
Boots is not a tier slot, if u still wondering :)
Why do my sims want to put mastery over haste!!
So you don't time things w auto shot?
Naw, no need! You’ll auto shot while casting automatically!
This best covenant and build for pvp aswell?
No, this is for PVE. For PVP it’s venthy, but check out Murloc.io for more info
Where can I get that ui
It’s just my personal one. I use ElvUI to customize it
Why multi shot every 4 seconds? I’m getting 8 seconds of beast cleave
This video was made before the bm hunter tier set change to increase beast cleave duration
I've been doing it all wrong. mastery at 44% LOL
Wait until you get that mastery down you're gonna be PUMPING
Quick question, would it not be better in AOE situations like packs in M+ to multi shot once right after aspect / wild spirits to get beast cleave active while youre firing off your barbed shots, then reset beast cleave once you're done with that?
