What’s New for Marksmanship Hunters in The War Within?
Marksmanship Hunters have access to a similar toolkit as they had in Dragonflight, although now we have new, exciting additions in both class and spec trees.
The most significant change to our spec tree is the addition of Kill Zone, a new talent that allows you to attack through pillar after casting Volley, similar to our Kyrian ability in Shadowlands. This reduces the chance of players avoiding your direct burst and setups, enabling you to contribute more impactful damage while also lowering the possibility of getting Crowd Controlled.
Entering into our class tree, we notice massive enhancements to our toolkit, including Padded Armor for an additional charge of Survival of the Fittest, and the ability to choose Binding Shot, Scatter Shot, Intimidation, and High Explosive Trap all at the same time.
Marksmanship Hunters now receive two Hero talent trees. Our first tree, Sentinel, is our default hero talent tree, strengthening our damage profile with more added consistency, while also buffing your primary burst spells. The centerpiece of this tree revolves around our Sentinel talent, as this applies a debuff, stacking up to 10 times from your spells. Since this debuff only deals damage once your spells trigger it, and with the proc chance being relatively high, this acts more of a consistent increase to our DPS.
Dark Ranger is another hero talent tree that Marksmanship Hunters can choose, which is more of a viable alternative if you want to guarantee your spells not breaking Crowd Control. This introduces Black Arrow into the mix of damaging abilities, acting as a dot lasting on a target for 18 seconds on a 30 second cooldown. When this spell deals damage, we have a 10% chance of generating an Aimed Shot charge that has a massively reduced cast time.
Overall, given Marksmanship’s toolkit and high damage throughput, it’s safe to say that it’s currently the strongest Hunter specialization on The War Within.
With the buffs tied to their arsenal of cooldowns, locking down Marksmanship will be significantly more challenging, causing them to become a top competitor in the PvP scene.
