Almost first time i comment on a WoW guide but this one is really clean ! No talking for nothing just the rotation and priority just what people ask for !
Great guide thanks for the information. Can you please tell me how you get the 3 stacks of frenzy to show on your need to know addon? I can only get it to show 1 stack for some reason.
Hey Andrew! Thanks again for checking out the videos 🙂 I think I replied to you in my latest video chat section but yes, I'll remember to check and let you know when I'm back home 🙂
just a small note: in the unlikely event that you can't use kill command, black arrow or barbed shot during call of the wild, don't use just multishots, as beast cleave is permanently active during this time, use explosive shot instead. Of course, only if it's available.
in this scenario, I would suggest pressing cobra shot over explosive shot if you are running my suggested build. I prefer to run Killer Cobra over Brutal Companion since they sim almost identically for me on 6+ target Patchwork and Dungeon Cleave sims using my imported Necrotic Wake route. The real difference is that Killer Cobra does more damage on boss fights than Brutal Companion since it resets Kill Command. I also just straight up do not take Explosive Shot or Black Rock munitions because a) it's weak and b) there is literally never a time to press it which allows me to take Trailblazer and then Emergency Salv which is infinitely more useful.
@@Saltii thanks for your time and the explanation and sorry for the stupid questions and my bad english. Killer Cobra was never up for discussion for me as it makes the rotation better in my opinion. Since I'm not good with simcraft, I can't argue much in this case, it just makes me wonder because explosive shot gives about 2 - 2,5 Mio DMG (on 5 targets) for a single GCD. Do I understand the +6 Patchwerk fight correctly, that you can use it to better clarify the pull sizes in the instances? because the effect of explosive shot is reduced from 5+, but kill cleave only from 8+? meh, sry I didn't take a close look at your suggested build, since I do my weekly instances in a guild group, I'm not dependent on bnding shot, scrappy and tar-coated bindings due to the group composition and can therefore take trailblazer, explosive shot and blackrock munitions, it didn't occur to me at that moment that there are also other group compositions and tasks...
BM hunter used to be my favorite spec, but this non-sense of having 10+ pets is just ridiculous for me. Loved when it was me and my single loyal pet against the world. Great video btw!
By "get out as many kill commands and barbed shots as possible" Does this mean KC>BS>KC>BS? Im just trying to figure out how exactly to do this window without leaving myself without enough BS to keep 3 stacks
Yep, 100% just alternate them so they are never sitting on max stacks in the COTW window and you will be golden. Always factor in your Frenzy stacks from Barbed shot outside of the COTW window but during COTW it will be constantly up
It's a personal preference thing for sure but I like to barbed shot first to get my pets into the action ASAP and to put one count of barbed shot off CD immediately. The sooner we can reach 3 stacks of Frenzy, the better.
No worries at all 🙂 And yes, I don't take Explosive Shot because a) it's weak b) there should never be a time to use it in your rotation and c) Not taking Explosive Shot and it's follow up talent Blackrovk munitions allows you to take Trailblazer into Emergency Salv which is infinitely more useful in most dungeons 🙂
Hey! On trash, always use Dark Arrow on CD but making sure that Beast Cleave is always up before you do. Prioritise maintaining Frenzy stacks with Barbed Shot of course and try not to let Kill Command sit on two stacks but yes, Black Arrow when Beast Cleave is up is our big damage dealer!
I am not entirely sure that NTK has an export function but I do plan to figure out how to pack up my entire UI so everyone can just download it and go soon :)
it's actually an add-on called Need to Know. I've been using it for years. it's super easy to use and I love the receding bars 😀 I have a UI Guide on my channel too which goes over how to set it up and its still up to date
I'll see if I can. I did try to find that option a while back but it was not implemented at that point. I'll check when I get home mate and let you know! I have a UI Guide where I detail how to set it up like mine but it's a whole thing so if I can just send you an import code I will. It's the best addon for tracking imo 🙂
Hi Saltii thx for the guide ! Have a question without call of the wild , we spam barber shoot or just maintain at 3 stacks ? Or use when procs ? (srry my english is bad i live in belgium ) ;)
During out Call of the Wild window, everytime it summons a pet it reduces the cooldown of barbed shot by 50% AND everytime you use Barbed shot it reduces the cooldown of Bestial Wrath by 12 seconds. So the more barbed shots you get out, the more stomps on trash packs AND the greater up time on Bestial Wrath. Outside of Call of the Wild, you will want to prioritise using Barbed Shot to maintain your 3 frenzy stacks :)
It's really going to depend upon your gear but generally speaking, and especially if your gear isn't optimal, Stormrider's Fury will probably be better. I use Radiant Power now myself because my haste + crit is incredibly good
Copy the code (ctrl+c) and then in game, open up your talent panel and down the bottom select import and then paste into the field (ctrl+v) and then name it :)
I'll have to double check for specifics but I would say sim yourself as well. I have so much haste and my sims are still saying Stormrider's Fury. I'll check later today and let you know!
@@Saltii okay thanks, i just wanted to know how much it procs cause I think having more haste than primary would smoothen runs just curious right now if it would proc more than radiant power.
Yes, absolutely. It's pretty necessary too. I'll make a quick guide detailing how I do it if you like. I use Need To Know because I like the simple receding bars but I know there are plenty of WA hunter packages (I just think they look messy 🙃)
So I put my two embellishments on wrist and hands and then I waited two weeks and crafted a 636 weapon. Now I will probably fill a slot with poor stats. Fir this build, you want haste and crit on pretty much everything. TLDR craft a weapon if you don't have a 639 one and then just haste + crit pieces in your lowest ilvl slots 😉
Sorry man, actually no idea how that happened. I haven't played PL all week. I have updated the WOWHEAD link and Import code and double checked them both now. Thank you for letting me know!

I know, right? I find it so much easier to follow bars like this. I use Need to Know which is amazing and simple to use add-on. I've had a few questions about it recently and my old UI guide is probably a bit dated so I am going to make a quick vid showing how to set up my bars. I may be wrong, but I do not believe that Need to Know has an export function. Ill check later today for you though!
I'm always having issues with your talent imports bro, either their wrong (based on what was described as the build being) or their linked to where you cant see the whole string. Spend a little extra time on these please. Like your videos!

It's highly subjective obviously but I personally think BM is the MOST fun spec to play in the game. I don't think that greater rotational difficulty automatically translates to a more interesting or enjoyable experience. It's normally quite the opposite. Also, from my personal experience this season, BM is actually more difficult to play properly than many other DPS specialisations. As I mentioned, it's all subjective and if you find a certain class and spec combination boring to play then it's just not worth playing :)
Hunter Pet Guide th-cam.com/video/MBbJJ_GPKqk/w-d-xo.html
Really appreciating all these new guides Saltii, you make it so easy to understand and keep your videos short which is so refreshing!
You're very welcome!
Thanks Saltii, very much enjoying the season and playing Dark Ranger. Always love your guidres
Awesome! It's such a fun spec, especially in M+ 🤩
Thank you Saltii, trying to get back into hunter and your guides always so helpful to me ♥
No worries, good luck out there!
Thank you Saltii, trying DR now and using your build. Super pumping and I am only 624 :)
No worries!
👍👏🔥
Just switched to dark Ranger yesterday and im really enjoying it 💪🤩
That's awesome! It's so much fun I reckon especially when you're coming into a big pull with Call of the Wild up and multiple Black Arrow procs 🙂
Thanks Saltii UI always look forward to your videos 😄
Thank you! I really appreciate it 😉
Thank you! I appreciate it 🙂

Hey! Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it mate 🙂
Love your work Saltii
Thanks mate!
thanks for the guides
No worries!
This is a great guide, I'd love you to talk a bit about hunter utility in M+
Sure, yeah I'll try and start maybe doing some commentary or just a seperate utility vid
Great guide thanks for the information. Can you please tell me how you get the 3 stacks of frenzy to show on your need to know addon? I can only get it to show 1 stack for some reason.
Hey Andrew! Thanks again for checking out the videos 🙂 I think I replied to you in my latest video chat section but yes, I'll remember to check and let you know when I'm back home 🙂
Please make an updated BM Hunter raid single target and cleave guide with recent changes if you have not done it yet.
Absolutely. I'll make one today hopefully and I'll probably start including the ST rotations in my M+ guides as well
@@Saltiilove the work mr sati,
Thanks mate! I appreciate it 🙂
Hey Saltii love your vids - do you have a guide for raid? 🫶🏻
Simple and well explained cheers mate.
Thanks mate! No worries at all 👍
Nice guide, short and sweet.
Cheers mate!

No problem!
Nice vid! You got my sub
Thanks mate, I really appreciate that 🙂

Thanks mate! Yeah the pets are kinda outta control, haha.

Yep, 100% just alternate them so they are never sitting on max stacks in the COTW window and you will be golden. Always factor in your Frenzy stacks from Barbed shot outside of the COTW window but during COTW it will be constantly up
what are your thoughts on explosive shot?
it's bad. You should never have a situation where you need to use it and the damage is terrible.
Surely Casting the 1st Beastial Wrath Before the Barbed shot is advantageous for the addition 24 seconds CD you'd Knock off the next Beastial Wrath.
It's a personal preference thing for sure but I like to barbed shot first to get my pets into the action ASAP and to put one count of barbed shot off CD immediately. The sooner we can reach 3 stacks of Frenzy, the better.
Why Killer Cobra over Brutal Companion?
Hi salti? thx for the guide. You never use explosive shot ? it's useless now or just not in the rotation?
No worries at all 🙂 And yes, I don't take Explosive Shot because a) it's weak b) there should never be a time to use it in your rotation and c) Not taking Explosive Shot and it's follow up talent Blackrovk munitions allows you to take Trailblazer into Emergency Salv which is infinitely more useful in most dungeons 🙂
What's the transmog? (good transmog adds 20% dmg, minimum!!! )
The Sprite Darter's Wings from the shop. Someone gifted it to me ages ago and yeah, +20% damage is hard to pass up!
Not sure how much this guide has changed recently, but do you prioritize kill command over black arrow?
Hey! On trash, always use Dark Arrow on CD but making sure that Beast Cleave is always up before you do. Prioritise maintaining Frenzy stacks with Barbed Shot of course and try not to let Kill Command sit on two stacks but yes, Black Arrow when Beast Cleave is up is our big damage dealer!
@Saltii awesome, thanks !
Do you have a link to your UI Profile if your using Elvui or anything Else yours is very Clean
I am not entirely sure that NTK has an export function but I do plan to figure out how to pack up my entire UI so everyone can just download it and go soon :)
What's the WA you use here to track stuff? I got s similar one, but this one has separate colours and tracks more (also CotW).
it's actually an add-on called Need to Know. I've been using it for years. it's super easy to use and I love the receding bars 😀 I have a UI Guide on my channel too which goes over how to set it up and its still up to date
@@Saltii That's all I ..... < drum rolls > need to know...! :P Thnx mate !
do you weave in cobra shot at all?
Absolutely! It should be your go to button when you have nothing else to do :)
Would you mind linking your Need To Know settings for the bars if they are exportable, thanx.
I'll see if I can. I did try to find that option a while back but it was not implemented at that point. I'll check when I get home mate and let you know! I have a UI Guide where I detail how to set it up like mine but it's a whole thing so if I can just send you an import code I will. It's the best addon for tracking imo 🙂

Why Storm Rider over Depths and Radiant Power??
It's really going to depend upon your gear but generally speaking, and especially if your gear isn't optimal, Stormrider's Fury will probably be better. I use Radiant Power now myself because my haste + crit is incredibly good
hello. Where do we put the code into?
Copy the code (ctrl+c) and then in game, open up your talent panel and down the bottom select import and then paste into the field (ctrl+v) and then name it :)
@Saltii great thanks! Also for weapons and armour, what should we be going for? Just stuff with Haste and critical strike on it?
what is the up time for the stormrider's fury enchant?
I'll have to double check for specifics but I would say sim yourself as well. I have so much haste and my sims are still saying Stormrider's Fury. I'll check later today and let you know!
@@Saltii okay thanks, i just wanted to know how much it procs cause I think having more haste than primary would smoothen runs just curious right now if it would proc more than radiant power.
Is there an add on or WA to help track multi dots of barbed shot?
Yes, absolutely. It's pretty necessary too. I'll make a quick guide detailing how I do it if you like. I use Need To Know because I like the simple receding bars but I know there are plenty of WA hunter packages (I just think they look messy 🙃)
What are you spending your Sparks on after using/making the two embellishments?
So I put my two embellishments on wrist and hands and then I waited two weeks and crafted a 636 weapon. Now I will probably fill a slot with poor stats. Fir this build, you want haste and crit on pretty much everything. TLDR craft a weapon if you don't have a 639 one and then just haste + crit pieces in your lowest ilvl slots 😉
Thanks for efford but talent code is wrong ^^
Sorry man, actually no idea how that happened. I haven't played PL all week. I have updated the WOWHEAD link and Import code and double checked them both now. Thank you for letting me know!
Heyo, you linked the PL talent

These talents are Pack leader, can you please share the good one please, btw nice vid

i have no multishot in my book ?!
Hm, you very definitely should if you have imported my code correctly. Have you tried re-importing?

so DF rotation.. incredibly boring spec sadly

I don't think that greater rotational difficulty automatically translates to a more interesting or enjoyable experience. It's normally quite the opposite. Also, from my personal experience this season, BM is actually more difficult to play properly than many other DPS specialisations. As I mentioned, it's all subjective and if you find a certain class and spec combination boring to play then it's just not worth playing :)
Music is too loud, can barely hear you. And it also sucks :)
lol ok, thanks 👍
