Changes from Legion
Marksman Hunter has been completely reworked in Battle for Azeroth. Some of the abilities from Legion remain, however their usage and interactions with each other have changed.
Vulnerable, Marked Shot and Patient Sniper have been removed.
Focus regen has gone down from 10 Focus per sec to 3 Focus per sec
Base Focus has gone down from 130 in Legion to 100 in Battle for Azeroth.
奥术射击
and
多重射击
are now Focus spenders
Our new Focus generators are
稳固射击
and
急速射击
瞄准射击
is now on a 2 charge system but remains our primary heavy hitter.
弹无虚发
has been introduced, empowering both
奥术射击
and
多重射击
.
独来独往
is now baseline. We benefit from
独来独往
automatically when we do not have a pet out.
Pets have been completely reworked. All specs are now equal in DPS but provide different utility.
has been altered, now providing an additional
瞄准射击
charge in addition to its Haste.
技巧射击
is now baseline and is a buff applied when you
多重射击
more than 3 targets. It is capped at 6 targets.
How does the spec feel now?
The removal of Vulnerable and Patient Sniper have been a huge quality of life change. Losing these means that our damage no longer depends on stacking multiple damage modifiers, reducing overall RNG. Unlike Legion, Marksman’s damage distribution is very linear and has little to no RNG outside of a couple optional talents. Marksman now swaps targets with ease, occuring no penalty. The rotation is fairly straightforward and simple, perhaps even lacking a bit of depth. The spec feels fine on single target, but there are some very noticeable gaps in our AoE.
技巧射击
’ interaction with
瞄准射击
has target restrictions, constraining
急速射击
to only spread up to 3 targets and
瞄准射击
to 6 targets in total. While the target restrictions feel awful, other classes have received similar treatment. In addition, due to the rework and new interactions of our abilities,
is now an extremely underwhelming cooldown for us. This means we have very little burst potential in both single target and in AoE. Overall, Marksman’s gameplay is very smooth and the spell interactions work well with each other. However, while we’ve recently received some minor buffs and tweaks, much more needs to happen in order for Marksman to be competitive with the other specs in regards to damage tuning and talent adjustments.
Pets have been reworked. Many quality of life changes happened to pets, including auto turning off growl in instances and reduced aggro radius. Pets deal the same damage across the board and each pet spec offers a different form of utility.
独来独往
is now baseline and allows us to choose to go without a pet, or to use a pet for some added utility and defensives. For more info on pets, check out our
Hunter Pet Guide
!
Talents:
Tier 1 (Level 15)
- This talent row is actually fairly balanced and if all the talents were tuned properly would allow for multiple types of gameplay.
狙击高手
is the go to for AoE situations due to the immense Focus cost of our AoE rotation.
毒蛇钉刺
and
夺命黑鸦
are more geared towards single target but both give options in terms of cleave.
毒蛇钉刺
has an option to multi-dot while
夺命黑鸦
retains its reset mechanic.
Tier 2 (Level 30)
- The talents in this row are fairly unique in terms of usability. While
精确瞄准
has applications in AoE, it is primary used as a single target talent. It is very niche and only really usable in a raid environment. Since
精确瞄准
is dependent on
瞄准射击
s, you much have a fairly long duration during the >80% and <20% health thresholds, which leans towards raids and discourages use in dungeons, leveling, etc. It is currently our best talent for single target raid situations but, due to
瞄准射击
s target restrictions, this falls of in AoE compared to the other talents in this row.
乱射
and
爆炸射击
are both heavily focused on AoE. The difference is
乱射
is purely RNG while
爆炸射击
is a controlled short burst. The concept of
乱射
seems fine, but the talent falters when you think about AoE. AoE generally happens in short segments, either short windows of consistent damage (mobs in M+) or waves of adds at specified times (raid encounters). The RNG component of this hurts as
乱射
might not even proc when it’s needed for the add damage. On top of that, it’s damage compared to the other talents in this row is awful. We will never take
乱射
in its current state.
Tier 3 (Level 45)
- Most of the talents in this row remain from Legion.
开拓者
is primary use for open world content, leveling and old transmog runs.
伪装
is our go to PvP talent and has some niche uses in dungeons.
自然治愈
is a new talent in this row that slightly reduces the cooldown of
意气风发
.
自然治愈
is really the only viable talent for most PVE outside of certain niche scenarios.
Tier 4 (Level 60)
- The talents in this row are meant to help you with your focus generation each in a different way.
稳固集中
reduces the cast time of
稳固射击
when it’s cast consecutively. On the surface this talent seems strong, however due to a minimum GCD cast of 0.75 sec, we actually hit this with 2 stacks of
稳固集中
+ Haste buffs. In addition, due to how our rotation plays out, we typically don’t cast 2
稳固射击
s in a row very often, let alone 3 or 4.
行云流水
is pretty straightforward, giving your
急速射击
slightly more Focus regen and damage. It is currently our best talent in this row in any AoE situation.
猎人印记
is primarily only used in pure single target situations. While it’s meant to be able to target swap onto priority targets (Gives focus when an add dies with it), the GCD placed on this talent highly discourages swapping your
猎人印记
at all.
猎人印记
is our best talent for pure single target in this row.
Tier 5 (Level 75)
- Similar to the other rows, this talent row has very unique uses.
天生狂野
is very niche. It’s reduced cooldown gives
猎豹守护
a shorter cooldown, giving more movement speed as well as reducing
灵龟守护
cooldown which may be usable in niche raid fights such as Fallen Avatar.
迅疾如风
remains the same as it was in Legion, giving us movement speed and snare removal.
束缚射击
is similar to Legion, however it’s lost the stun component to it. It now snares mobs rather than stunning them, which is much worse. The go to talent is generally
迅疾如风
as it provides the most movement speed and utility of the three.
Tier 6 (Level 90)
- This row is very AoE centric.
弹幕射击
being the most obvious AoE ability, remaining the same as it has been for years.
致命射击
and
二连发
essentially just buff our
瞄准射击
and apply to
技巧射击
. Both of these talents have target restrictions just as
瞄准射击
does, so they’re AoE is limited between 3-6 targets as well as having single target applications.
致命射击
and
二连发
are actually very similar to each other.
致命射击
is totally RNG and can buff either your
瞄准射击
or your next
急速射击
. You must pray that it aligns with
急速射击
.
二连发
does the exact same thing but it is a controlled cast. You’re able to use it with
急速射击
over
瞄准射击
every time. The downside is that its gated by a 1 minute cooldown. Typically,
致命射击
is better in pure single target and falls off in AoE due to the RNG component.
二连发
performs well in single target but excels in mid-range AoE. Since
致命射击
and
二连发
are restricted to 6 targets,
弹幕射击
takes over in mass AoE situations at 6+ targets.
Tier 7 (Level 100)
-
荷枪实弹
is the default in this row since both of the other talents are severely undertuned at the moment.
荷枪实弹
is similar to Legion but is now adapted to the new rotation. Only one charge is gained and its proc chance has been lowered to 5%.
箭在弦上
is basically
乌尔的羽绒雪地靴
made into a talent which is really cool, however, its a very mediocre talent for us at the moment, due to
s viability.
穿刺射击
has been retained from Legion but now has a flat Focus cost. Currently its damage is undertuned.
荷枪实弹
, as bad as 5% sounds, is the go to Talent in this row for every situation.
Recommended Changes and Tuning Issues:
- For a major 3 minute cooldown, this ability is very very underwhelming. We essentially gain 2 additional
瞄准射击
s from it. During Legion, it was a massive cooldown due to its interaction with applying Marking Targets, increased Critical Strike Damage from
快速击杀
and both
快速射击
and
乌尔的羽绒雪地靴
made it a very short cooldown, diversifying its usage. Currently, It's hardly a dps increase at all which feels awful for our only major cooldown, and a 3 minute one at that. In its current state, we are forced to use it during times of Focus regen.
独来独往
- Currently after dismissing your pet, you gain the
独来独往
buff, but on a ramping timer (Approx 1% every 6 sec for a total of 1 minute). The issue here is the ramp timer, not necessarily the ability itself. Having to wait a full minute to gain the full benefit of
独来独往
feels very cumbersome. Any time you dismiss your pet, any time you get battle rezzed and any time you swap a Talent, it takes a full minute to gain the full 10% buff from
独来独往
.
毒蛇钉刺
- At the moment, this ability competes in single target but falls off hard as soon as you add in another target. The issue here is not the damage, it is the immense focus cost. While 10 Focus doesn't seem very much, our rotation, especially in AoE is very Focus consuming. At the moment we must take
狙击高手
due to the high Focus requirement. Due to the high Focus cost, keeping up
毒蛇钉刺
properly you actually must cast less
瞄准射击
s because we physically do not have enough Focus to perform our rotation and keep up
毒蛇钉刺
.
乱射
- This talent is way too RNG to ever be usable except on an AoE sustained fight which never happens. In most AoE scenarios, waves of adds spawn or in M+ for instance, groups of adds occur in 30-40 sec intervals. With
乱射
only being 10%, it might not even deal damage to certain mobs or during AoE. Due to its RNG nature, we would never take this over
爆炸射击
. It's damage is also a fair bit behind ES in its current iteration, RNG aside.
稳固集中
- While this talent seems fine at first glance, there are a couple of glaring issues with it. First off, we rarely actually cast multiple
稳固射击
s back to back. To perform optimal DPS, we must cast certain abilities on cooldown -
瞄准射击
and
急速射击
- and we must dump our
弹无虚发
stacks with
奥术射击
. Because of the timings here along with the charge system of
瞄准射击
, we typically cast 1
稳固射击
to give us enough Focus to cast the following ability, and sometimes we cast 2 in a row when we have a slight bit of down time. We rarely cast 2 let alone 3 or 4 in a row like this talent encourages. Secondly, this ability becomes virtually useless during times of high haste i.e
and
嗜血
(and
狂暴
). The baseline cast of
稳固射击
is 1.75 seconds (typically it will be around 1.6 with most peoples haste levels, but these calculations are done without any haste considered). If you have 2 stacks of 20% reduced cast time this becomes baseline 1.05 seconds. Then taking into account
嗜血
the cast time becomes .78 seconds. Since the minimum GCD is .75 seconds, the haste from
or
狂暴
is basically useless in terms of
稳固集中
if you have more than ~7.7% Haste. Much of this talent goes to waste throughout the fight.
箭在弦上
- The talent itself is fine and is basically a carry over from
乌尔的羽绒雪地靴
. The problem here goes back to
itself in that this cooldown is not very useful for us. So reducing it’s cooldown doesn't really do much for us. This talent would almost have to be doubled for it to be worth taking with
in its current state.
穿刺射击
- Currently,
穿刺射击
is on a 30 sec cooldown and it does less damage then
瞄准射击
.
