Dragonflight: Guardians of the Dream Update Development Notes

HUNTER

Fixed an issue where Entrapment didn’t share diminishing returns with other root abilities.
Beast Mastery

Developers’ note: Aspect of the Wild and Call of the Wild have struggled to be compelling choices during Dragonflight. Both of these cooldowns were competing for similar design space to make you and your pets feel stronger in a way that feels different than Bestial Wrath. After evaluating these abilities, we have decided to replace Aspect of the Wild entirely and convert it into passive options on the talent tree. The removal of Aspect of the Wild allows us to double down on Call of the Wild being a strong pet summoning cooldown for the Beast Mastery spec. We’re also lowering the number of talent points in the Thrill of the Hunt and Dire Command talent nodes from 3 to 2, which should give you some extra flexibility in your talent choices.
Aspect of the Wild has been removed.
New Talent: Savagery (Passive) – Kill Command damage is increased by 10%. Barbed Shot lasts 2 seconds longer. Replaces Aspect of the Wild.
Master Handler has been redesigned – Each time Barbed Shot deals damage, the cooldown of Kill Command is reduced by 0.5 seconds.
Call of the Wild has been slightly redesigned – Cooldown reduced to 2 minutes (was 3 minutes) and the base ability now also has the added functionality: Whenever Call of the Wild summons a pet, the cooldown of Kill Command and Barbed Shot are reduced by 50%.
Choice nodes for Call of the Wild updated:

While Call of the Wild is active, all of your pets are affected by Beast Cleave. Each time Call of the Wild summons a pet, all of your pets Stomp.
While Call of the Wild is active, each time you Kill Command, your Kill Command target takes 3% more damage from all of your summons. This effect stacks.

Thrill of the Hunt is now a 2-rank talent (was 3). Each point grants 2% critical strike chance, stacking up to 2/4 times (was 3%, stacking 1/2/3 times).
Dire Command is now a 2-rank talent (was 3). Each point grants 15/30% chance to trigger (was 10/20/30%).
Snake Bite has been removed.

A Step Forward - Reactions to Beast Mastery Talent Changes on the 10.2 PTR.

Hello! The purpose of this article will be to go over all the changes made to Beast Mastery Hunter Talents on the 10.2 PTR, and discuss where they have gone right, where they have gone wrong, and what''s left to be done. Let's get to it:

Point Deductions

Calor da Caçada is now a 2-rank talent (was 3). Each point grants 2% critical strike chance, stacking up to 2/4 times (was 3%, stacking 1/2/3 times).
Comando Atroz is now a 2-rank talent (was 3). Each point grants 15/30% chance to trigger (was 10/20/30%).

Companheiro Animal will still reduce the damage dealt by Chamado das Selvas pets by 35%.

Pisada from new pets during Chamado das Selvas with Frenesi Sangrento will often miss if you are far enough away from your target (further than 15 yards or so). This is because new pets will spawn next to the player character and Pisada shortly afterwards. This gives them a high chance of not reaching their target and missing entirely.

Pets will not gain Cutilada da Fera during Chamado das Selvas with Frenesi Sangrento unless you first cast a Disparo da Naja or Picada de Serpente.

Picking Frenesi Sangrento without picking Cutilada da Fera will result in a Cutilada da Fera doing 100% of your pets damage during Chamado das Selvas, rather than 70%.
