It does almost everything the main pet does.Ħ. It’s got a few remaining bugs and its damage isn’t tuned properly yet, but it’s a lot more than we initially thought. I spoke about it in the guide quite a bit. But BM is doing pretty nicely with current tuning.ĥ.

The downtime of the spec is reduced (there will still be some, probably around 10%). Focus is easier to come by in BFA for sure.

Exhil being on the GCD means you may have to sometimes hold off on casting something else if you know you’re about to take a lot of damage, so that the GCD is free for Exhil to heal back up. BW and AOTW should be used pretty much as soon as they come up in most cases, just look at them as longer cooldown rotation buttons. As for everything being on the GCD being a positive, I still don’t like Bestial Wrath on there, but I’ll manage.ģ.

Usually it’s 2 Cobra Shots plus 1 other ability/talent. It’s a bit easier to digest that you’ll be casting about 3 abilities (GCDs) between each one. I would look at the rotation more around Kill Command.

The ideal opener is sort of up for debate right now and what’s in the guide could change.Ģ. It won’t make a huge difference in the grand scheme of things. You actually can open with Barbed Shot instead of KC if you want. I mean, his life became liked with Titanstrike after we acquired it, and I would hate to see him sacrificed =(ġ. I look forward to seeing what’s going to happen to our artifact weapons, but I worry about Hati’s fate. (This is more of a comment than anything else) I’m a bit worried about Hati. How is the Animal Companion doing these days? I’ve been away from Beta/PTR for at least a week and last time I checked it was buggy it had a tendency to die and not come back, not respond to commands like the main pet and usually it was just a major annoyance. How do you feel about focus management? I’ve a bunch of heroics in the beta and it hardly was an issue, but I’m not sure about our performance on the damage meters right now the only one I got working was Details and I don’t trust the numbers it gives me.ĥ. A point of concern to me is that we’re going to need to be very careful with spells like Bestial Wrath, Aspect of the Wild, Exhilaration and so on, especially when survivability/utility is involved, since we’ll be sacrificing a GCD which means a DPS loss.Ĥ.

Does that make sense? To me this seems to be a positive point of having (almost) everything on the GCD, because that simplifies rotation management. From what I’ve seen in the beta our shots will need to be weaved between Barbed Shots, which should be 4-6 seconds apart from each other, which amounts to 3-5 global cooldowns. Is Kill Command affected by frenzy stacks on the pet? If so, would it be better to open with a Barbed Shot then KC, or just KC right off the bat?Ģ. Hey Bendak! I have a few points I would like your opinion on.ġ. If you’ve got any pre-patch questions, feel free to ask them here and I’ll answer what I can. Wowhead also has Marksmanship and Survival pre-patch guides which are definitely worth checking out, especially since they’ve seen even more changes than BM (these guides were not written by me).Īlso be sure to check out the BFA pet guide on Wowhead to learn about the pet changes and some new pets to tame (though most of this info is on the pet guide I posted here).
