Why Survival Hunter Mongoose Bite Rework Needs Fixing! 🏹 | World of Warcraft
Mongoose Fury was irrelevant to begin with outside of niche windows. You could have completly disabled the stack count and it would have been less than 1% of a difference. Your misconception is that you focus on MB more than you should.
For the most ppl was only the animation inportent, because with the maintance buff we get only 3 stacks… the old Version of mongoose fury doesnt fit to the New survival. The only way is if wereduce the stacks to 3 again and the dmg increases per stack instead of 15% to 25% So we can ramp up much fester
One of the "Soft skills" that are not obvious at first glance in SV is that the skills that increase focus over a time range that can make more MB's possible are also functionally nerfed by CD's we now have to spend so the get in get out playstyle I found fun to cheat at mob/boss ground effects with are now missing. The uncontrolability was the problem not the fact we could do it. Similar to a reverse DK grip taking away the utility of in out makes us less. We don't have the focus boosters of a rouge in our builder/spenders windows are more important to use and high movement mobs/bosses or high movement M+ runs make us risky to bring.
Survival was actually fun to play for most people, it was mostly the defensives and damage tuning that needed fixing. Now we have a clunky, un-fun spec, that lost a lot of utility and gap closers. Losing serpent sting will sting down the road. Having no single shot that you shoot over and over again (serpent sting/arcane shot for others) to pick out certian mobs like for skinning, or cosmetic farming is probably the worst thing. I have a feeling we will end doing more damage but it will not be as fun or useful anymore.
MB/BC maaaybe are taken on ST, but I think most are going around it.
