Beast Mastery Legendaries in 9.2

Beast Mastery legendaries are fairly straightforward heading into patch 9.2. Unless something changes, we have a clear winner for our legendary selection as well as our covenant selection for DPS purposes. Once tier has been obtained, Beast Mastery Hunters will be playing Night Fae, using the legendary combination of Осколки древних рогов and Острые клыки охотника на рилаков. So why is there such little variation in 9.2 compared to previous tiers for Beast Mastery? It's largely due to our tier set bonus. As a recap, here are the Beast Mastery tier set bonuses:

Убийственное бешенство (2-Set) Your Команда "Взять!" critical strike chance is increased by 15% for each stack of Бешенство your pet has.
Убийственное бешенство (4-Set) Команда "Взять!" critical hits increase the damage and cooldown reduction of your next Выстрел кобры by 40%.

Убийственное бешенство focuses on boosting our Critical Strike, which leads to a few changes for Beast Mastery. An obvious change of course is that since we gain a ton of passive crit from our tier set, our stats will trend more towards Haste and Versatility. The biggest change is of course our relationship with Острые клыки охотника на рилаков. The increased Critical Strike chance directly buffs Rylakstalkers (which increases Critical Strike damage), increasing its value when compared to other non-covenant legendaries. We'll also be using some previously unused conduits and talents due to their synergy with our tier set. The increased Critical Strike gives rise to Свирепый аппетит (directly scales off Critical Strikes) and for single target purposes, we'll be swapping to Кобра-убийца. The cooldown reduction aspect of the tier set is extremely insignificant (~.4 sec per cast) so we want to focus on outputting as many Команда "Взять!"s as possible. Killer Cobra is the best candidate for that job. This combination of talents and soulbinds allows us to use Дух дикой природы every minute. Paired with Звериный гнев and Rylakstalkers, it gives us pretty strong burst every minute and even more burst every 2 min due to Осколки древних рогов. While our tier set brings us this cool new setup that benefits Night Fae, it also hinders our options as it significantly devalues both Venthyr and Kyrian (both of which were previously valid options for us depending on the situation). Necrolord still underperforms in all aspects.

Venthyr has a few things working against it when we consider our tier set bonus. Previously, Venthyr was our highest sustained single target covenant. Мешочек с осколками бритвы by itself is one of our strongest legendaries so you'd think adding Rylakstalkers into the mix, Venthyr would remain strong. However, when you dive a bit deeper into the tier set interactions, we can see the conflicts that arise. The biggest issue that arises is due to our 4 piece bonus. Команда "Взять!" critical hits increase the damage of our next Выстрел кобры, meaning we'll be wanting to cast as many Kill Commands and Cobra Shots as possible. As Venthyr, Выстрел свежевателя encourages us to cast as many Убийственный выстрелs as possible. As you may expect, the two compete for GCDs and conflict with each other, especially during Звериный гнев windows while running Кобра-убийца. When we look a bit further into Venthyr soulbinds, our previous go-to for single target was Nadjia. However, due to the new tier interactions, we really covet that additional conduit slot for the addition of Ferocious Appetite devaluing Бесстрашный дуэлянт. The added critical strike gain from our tier set also devalues the critical strike we gain from Фатальный изъян. Thus, we end up wanting to swap to Theotar rather than using Nadjia, hurting Venthyr's overall output.

Kyrian wasn't really used too much as Beast Mastery, but it wasn't too far behind the other covenants. With the introduction of the new tier sets, Kyrian essentially becomes obsolete. You'd think that Kyrian would love the additional Critical Strike, but in reality, we are severely overcapped. Consider everything that gives crit as Beast Mastery. In addition to our base stats (typically ~30% Critical Strike on gear), we now have the tier set Убийственное бешенство, our Kyrian ability Резонирующая стрела, our Kyrian covenant legendary Пакт ловцов душ, our major cooldown Дух дикой природы, and our talent Охотничий азарт. Hunters also start out with a baseline of 10% Critical Strike with zero gear on. Adding everything together, you can see that we overcap very easily as Kyrian. Naturally, we'll want to gear towards other stats such as Haste or Versatility. Having crit cap isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the value of crit begins to taper off. Since other covenants provide more value in terms of raw damage, while still providing a significant amount of crit, Kyrian falls even further behind in comparison.

Night Fae: Осколки древних рогов & Острые клыки охотника на рилаков

As mentioned above, Beast Mastery Hunters will be playing Night Fae using both Осколки древних рогов and Острые клыки охотника на рилаков in every situation. Similar to previous tiers, we excel in high-movement, single-target situations. Due to Fragments of the Elder Antlers, our 2 min burst against 1-4 targets is very potent. In Sepulcher of the First Ones, we'll excel at fights such as Сколекс since it's a single target fight, as well as high movement fights such as Галондрий and Изобретатель Зи'мокс.

There are no specific interactions between Осколки древних рогов and Острые клыки охотника на рилаков, they just individually contribute the most damage to our toolkit as described above. They work together to give Beast Mastery a solid amount of burst every 2 min, but that's about it.

Best Beast Mastery Hunter Double Legendaries for Mythic+

Night Fae: Осколки древних рогов & Острые клыки охотника на рилаков

The same trend is true for Beast Mastery in Mythic+, we'll be sticking to Night Fae and using both Осколки древних рогов and Острые клыки охотника на рилаков. However, if you want to perform optimally in Mythic+, I highly suggest playing either Marksmanship or Survival. While Beast Mastery has the highest single target output currently, our AoE is severely lacking. Both Marksmanship and Survival are much better choices. That being said, Beast Mastery can still perform well in less AoE-oriented dungeons such as Театр Боли or Чумные каскады.

There are a few things for Beast Mastery AoE that I wanted to highlight. Unlike our single target build, we'll still be wanting to use Дух зверя with Кровопускание (in place of Свирепый аппетит) as we previously have been for AoE. This combination gives us more AoE damage while still giving us a good amount of single target damage. Secondly, since we're using Осколки древних рогов, our AoE falls off hard when 5 or more targets are consistently present. If we can manage to pull less than 5 targets every 2 min, we still bring valuable damage, but that will be largely dependent on your dungeon route and group composition. But perhaps the biggest issue with Beast Mastery AoE is our tier set. Beast Mastery's tier set is solely focused on single target output. By nature, our rotation in AoE uses fewer Команда "Взять!"s and Выстрел кобрыs, so it directly conflicts with the tier set. The lack of AoE contribution from our tier is the primary reason why it is ill-advised to play Beast Mastery in heavy AoE situations, as it straight up cannot compete with other specs.

Known Issues Surrounding Beast Mastery Legendaries and Tier
Unlike the other Hunter specs, Beast Mastery really doesn't have too many issues heading into 9.2. The only known issue was fixed this past week. Up until a few days ago, Beast Mastery Hunters were doing more damage than intended on PTR due to incorrect values on our 4 piece. Rather than gaining 40% increased damage on Выстрел кобры, we were gaining 100% increased damage. This was fixed to correctly match the 40% value as indicated on the tooltip. This resulted in an ~8% nerf to our overall damage. The bug fix means that Beast Mastery is no longer competitive relative to other specs on the PTR even in single-target situations. As mentioned in the article above, single target is supposed to be our niche. Of course, we've yet to see any major tuning passes so this may or may not be a big deal. Let's hope our numbers are adjusted in the future, else Beast Mastery won't see much play this tier.

Marksmanship Hunter Legendaries in 9.2

Heading into patch 9.2, the dynamic of Marksmanship legendaries change quite a bit. It's largely due to the new tier sets introduced. Prior to obtaining these new tier set bonuses and assuming double legendaries, Marksmanship Hunters will want to continue to use Хитрость ловца змей for single target situations and Буйные стрелы for AoE situations, paired with their respective covenant legendary. Once all 4 tier set pieces are obtained, this dynamic changes. As a recap, here are the Marksmanship tier set bonuses:

Сосредоточенное коварство (2p) - Коварные выстрелы now also increases the damage of the affected shot by 30%.
Сосредоточенное коварство (4p) - Spending 40 Focus grants you 1 charge of Коварные выстрелы.

As a reminder, this tier set not only affects our AoE, but works in single target as well. With the 4 piece, spending 40 Focus, regardless of how many targets are present, gives us a charge of Коварные выстрелы. Thus triggering the 2 piece, increasing the damage of our next Прицельный выстрел or Быстрая стрельба. This also gives us passive AoE, without having to use Залп. The tier set interaction gives rise to a previously forsaken legendary - Тайны неусыпного бдения. Combined with the tier set, Secrets of the Unblinking Vigil gives us more Aimed Shots while reducing the amount of required Улучшенный верный выстрелs we'll be required to cast. Due to the Focus requirement of the 4 piece, we'll most likely be weaving in Чародейский выстрелs in between Aimed Shots and Rapid Fires. Unless something changes, Secrets of the Unblinking Vigil is looking to be our best option in both single target and AoE once tier has been obtained.

This leads to a few implications regarding Marksmanship's playstyle. First off, Marksmanship in 9.2 will be an AoE powerhouse. While our single target won't be the best, we'll have one of the more potent AoE toolkits due to tier and legendary interactions. The biggest plus here is that our AoE is almost totally passive now. Тайны неусыпного бдения paired with our tier set, allows us to perform our single target rotation while giving us passive AoE. We'll be using one set of legendaries for both single target and AoE without having to sacrifice single target damage to gain AoE. The second implication, which may or may not affect players depending on boss encounters, is that we'll be casting way more Прицельный выстрелs due to Secrets of the Unblinking Vigil. As you may expect, this means we'll be standing still much more often (about ~30% more time spent casting). The tier set and legendary combination hinder our mobility when considering the optimal rotation. That being said, Marksmanship is still highly mobile compared to other specs, and we will still have the choice to use Чародейский выстрелs, Быстрая стрельбаs, and Улучшенный верный выстрелs on the move.

Marksmanship Hunters won't have much variety between our non-covenant legendaries after obtaining the tier set. However, we will still have to make choices between covenants now that they're freely swappable depending on the encounter. Below I'll cover the relevant covenants heading into 9.2, and which covenants seem to be the best based on the scenario. For raiding purposes, we'll primarily be playing Venthyr and Night Fae. Kyrian is our go-to AoE covenant but requires more heavy AoE to be significantly ahead of Night Fae, while Necrolord just underperforms in all aspects.

Venthyr: Мешочек с осколками бритвы & Тайны неусыпного бдения

Venthyr is Marksmanship's best covenant for pure single target encounters. That being said, there are some major caveats with Venthyr. It relies on sustained damage to be good. If the encounter has multiple add swapping or multiple phases, Venthyr loses value. Venthyr also does not perform well if any burst damage is required. By nature of Выстрел свежевателя and Мешочек с осколками бритвы, Venthyr's output is both sustained and RNG, meaning its damage is not reliable. So while on paper Venthyr sims the best, you most likely won't be playing too much Venthyr Marksmanship aside from maybe Сколекс. There are very few practical scenarios that highlight Venthyr's strengths.

Speaking to the interaction of the two legendaries and why we're using them, the answer is simple. They both just provide the most damage. Unlike the other covenants for Marksmanship, there is no specific interaction between Мешочек с осколками бритвы & Тайны неусыпного бдения. In fact, they actually conflict with each other slightly, but individually they each contribute more than other legendaries (assuming tier set of course). Тайны неусыпного бдения forces us to cast more Прицельный выстрелs while Мешочек с осколками бритвы wants us to cast more Убийственный выстрелs. This means that at multiple points during our rotation, we'll be forced to choose between Aimed Shot or Kill Shot, and one will be delayed. It's not a major contradiction, but it's also not the most fluid interaction. The positive thing here is that both Pouch of Razor Fragments and Secrets of the Unblinking Vigil provides Venthyr with some much-needed passive AoE, which it severely lacks on its own. Of course, it doesn't compare to the AoE prowess of our other covenants, but it's a nice addition to Venthyr.

Night Fae: Осколки древних рогов & Тайны неусыпного бдения

The strength of Night Fae Marksmanship in patch 9.2 is essentially the same as it is now. Assuming no major changes, Night Fae is our second-best single target covenant and really excels in cleave. Night Fae is king when there are 1-4 targets that require on-demand burst, approximately every 2 min. If you can reliably hit less than 5 targets with your Дикие духи every 2 min, Night Fae will be your best option. It's sort of the middle ground between Venthyr and Kyrian for Marksmanship, being decent and single target and decent at AoE, excelling in that mid-range area.

Осколки древних рогов and Тайны неусыпного бдения have a few interactions with each other, in addition to being the strongest legendaries on their own. First off, as Night Fae we always pair Дикие духи with Меткий выстрел. Since Secrets of the Unblinking Vigil gives us free Прицельный выстрелs, we will no longer have to cast a Улучшенный верный выстрел during Trueshot due to lack of Focus. Those GCDs will now be consumed by additional Aimed Shots gained from Vigil, along with Чародейский выстрелs to proc our tier set bonus. Secondly, when we use Wild Spirits, targets within the area of effect take 5% additional damage due to Wild Mark. Since Secrets of the Unblinking Vigil yields more Aimed Shots, these additional Aimed Shots will also benefit from the 5% increased damage. This is amplified even more when considering Soulbinds such as Оздоровление рощи or Цветочное поле that increase damage during Wild Spirits.

Kyrian: Пакт ловцов душ & Тайны неусыпного бдения

Kyrian is by far Marksmanship's strongest pure AoE covenant. Single target isn't the best, but Kyrian is Marksmanship's strongest uncapped covenant. It also provides the most consistent damage, yielding some pretty strong burst every minute through Резонирующая стрела. Due to it's consistency and high AoE output, Kyrian is the best option for most Mythic+ dungeons, with the exception of a few dungeons such as Theatre of Pain.

Пакт ловцов душ and Тайны неусыпного бдения have a slight interaction with each other, but more importantly, they are both significantly boosted by Kyrian's baseline ability and soulbinds. Резонирующая стрела increases Critical Strike by 30%, Ослабляющая метка increases damage within Resonating Arrow by ~12% (depending on conduit rank) and Soulbinds such as Pelagos' Боевая медитация give a large chunk of Mastery while Resonating Arrow is active. As you can imagine, all of these buffs compound, making abilities cast during Resonating Arrow very strong. Pact of the Soulstalkers increases Critical Strike gained by an additional 10%. Secrets of the Unblinking Vigil potentially gives us additional Прицельный выстрелs to be cast while Resonating Arrow is active. Paired with our tier set bonus and Беглый огонь, Kyrian's toolkit allows us to output incredible burst every minute. The only major downside of Kyrian is that forced movement during cooldowns really hurts our damage output, since Resonating Arrow's strength directly relies on the spells used while its active.

The other major perk when playing Kyrian is that Пакт ловцов душ not only gives you an additional 10% Critical Strike every minute, but it also gives everyone else in your party that same bonus. The value of this is largely dependent on your fellow party members, but since it's our only option as a second legendary, it's a nice little bonus that you'll have to factor in when considering the strength of Kyrian compared to other covenants.

Night Fae: Осколки древних рогов & Тайны неусыпного бдения

Night Fae's strength in Mythic+ is very similar to its niche in raid. Night Fae excels at min-range burst every 2 min. If you're consistently doing smaller pulls or have a group that can adapt to pulling around your Дикие духи, Night Fae may beat out Kyrian. Night Fae excels in dungeons such as Theatre of Pain or Plaguefall where you're consistently pulling smaller. Night Fae also brings slightly better single target and burst, so dungeons such as Mists of Tirna Scythe might benefit Night Fae more than Kyrian depending on how you pull the dungeon.

Known Issues Surrounding Marksmanship Legendaries and Tier
With 9.2 around the corner, there are still some major issues with Marksmanship Hunter that will affect our overall output and quality of life. Depending on whether or not these problems are fixed, it may influence our choice in covenant and our relative strength compared to other specs. Below are some of the major issues that still persist with both our legendaries and tier.

The tier bonus Сосредоточенное коварство is set to trigger at greater than 40 Focus, rather than equal to or greater than 40 Focus. This causes some weird scenarios where you may have to cast an additional ability to receive the proc. For example, casting 2 Чародейский выстрелs back to back does not trigger the bonus (2 Arcane Shots equal exactly 40 Focus).
Прицельный выстрелs that trigger the Коварные выстрелы buff from the tier set instantly consume the buff, but do not actually benefit from Trick Shots at all. i.e that Aimed Shot will not spread to multiple targets.
When using Тайны неусыпного бдения and the tier set, Vigil does not seem to refund Прицельный выстрел when Коварные выстрелы is gained via the tier set after casting an Aimed Shot. Instead, it will visually show you that you have charges when you in reality do not. This is likely caused by the aforementioned scenario where Aimed Shot instantly consumes Trick Shots.
Отпугивание does not count towards the 4 piece Focus requirement and Стая воронов counts as 30 Focus towards the 4 piece rather than 20 Focus.

Despite these bugs, Тайны неусыпного бдения remains the best choice of Legendary to use once all four pieces of tier have been acquired in all scenarios. Of course, when these issues are fixed, our overall performance will rise and our quality of life while using Secrets of the Unblinking Vigil will improve.DoolB

NOTE: As of writing this, the tier-set is in a moderately/severely bugged state. The below essay is assuming there will be no changes made to the set or any Hunter ability/legendary/Covenant power. As a refresher, you can find the tier-set bonus below—this set bonus will influence your Legendaries/Covenant selection going forward. If you'd like to see the bugs, please read the drop down below.

2-piece set bonus: Сумасшедший бомбардир When Kill Command resets, it has a 40% chance to make your next Wildfire Bomb incur no cooldown.

4-piece set bonus: Сумасшедший бомбардир Your Wildfire Bombs deal 30% additional damage. This bonus is increased to 80% for bombs empowered by Mad Bombardier.

The 2-piece set bonus is not resetting the cooldown as described in the tooltip. Currently, it is refunding a flat 18 seconds cooldown of Огнебомба. This means that with the Партизанская тактика talent, you'll be refunded more than your normal cooldown for the ability and waste a few seconds of cooldown.
The buff from the 2-piece, Сумасшедший бомбардир, is currently fading too soon. As soon as your Огнебомба damages one target, the buff will expire. This means that the 4-piece bonus from Сумасшедший бомбардир does not buff the damage on the proper targets hit. Sometimes, if the targets are close enough, all will be damaged by the buffed bomb. An example would be in a group of 5 enemies, only your primary target receives bonus damage from Сумасшедший бомбардир while the other targets receive normal damage.
The buff from the 4-piece bonus currently does not work on any of the damage over time caused by Огнебомба (including Огнебомба itself, as well as the separate Усовершенствованная бомба effects.) Instead, the direct damage is buffed twice,—this is the case for both the Сумасшедший бомбардир 30% buff and the separate '80%' buff.
The buff from the 4-piece bonus , Сумасшедший бомбардир, seems to be applying the damage buff in an unintended away. Instead of the listed increase to 80%, it seems to be an additive 50% on the passive 30% buff to Огнебомба. This effectively means that the following is happening: Огнебомба x 1.3 (30% from the 4-piece passive) x 1.5 (50% from the secondary 4-piece bonus to total 80%). However, this also is somehow duplicating itself from the previous bug, making the actual benefit from the 4-piece to be something like Огнебомбаx 1.3 x 1.3 x 1.5 x 1.5.

Single Target

Night Fae: Осколки древних рогов and Кассетные огнебомбы

With the current (albeit bugged) state of our tier-set, Mad Bombardier pushes out the usual suspects of our usual suspects for single-target damage focused Legendaries. Instead, with the amount of times you’ll be using Огнебомба, you’ll find that Кассетные огнебомбы gives very respectable numbers in almost every possible fight pattern, even in single-target!

But why Night Fae?

Two big factors here. First, throughout the history of single-target fights in Shadowlands, we'd typically avoid playing this Covenant as Дикие духи, the Covenant ability, did not synergize at all with our (at the time) strongest single-target legendary: Постановщик ловушек Эрнестуэя . These two did not work because the traps necessary for the Legendary item did not proc the damage instances of Дикие духи.

With Mad Bombardier pushing us into a more Огнебомба playstyle (and encouraging Кассетные огнебомбы), as well as the ability to use two Legendaries, moving forward we can safely play as Night Fae without having to worry about any counter synergy. Not to mention, the sheer power of Осколки древних рогов in a low target (4 or fewer) environment, it simply out-performs the competition. Venthyr and Выстрел свежевателя eat up valuable Команда "Взять!"/Огнебомба GCDs, Kyrian’s Пакт ловцов душ is currently lackluster (for you—this Legendary and Covenant combination could potentially see some play, but it requires optimizing group composition and party wide cooldown management, which can be difficult with Бурный акселератор анимы.) Lastly, Necrolord is, well, not very good in single-target fights. You would need a second target up to really make Necrolord shine and even then Night Fae will outperform.

What are the numbers like?

In a single-target fight you can expect Night Fae to be about 1-3% stronger than Venthyr, Night Fae to be about 3-5% stronger than Kyrian, and Night Fae to be about 7 to 9% stronger than Necrolord.

NOTE: This does not include potential group wide benefits from Kyrian's Legendary Пакт ловцов душ. This only considers your potential performance and the relative differences between the covenants in a single-target fight.

Multiple Targets/Area of Effect

Kyrian: Пакт ловцов душ and Кассетные огнебомбы

Most of the time, you will find yourself in a classic favorite—much like every other AoE encounter since the dawn of Shadowlands, you’ll want to use Кассетные огнебомбы . Mad Bombardier only makes this more appealing as more bombs (from the 2-piece) equals more Кассетные огнебомбы equals more damage. What’s not to love?

But why Kyrian?

The extremely potent combo of Бурный акселератор анимы, and Резонирующая стрела (with Ослабляющая метка) is the real star of the show here. This combination in an add-heavy encounter will keep the cooldown of Резонирующая стрела very low and really push your Огнебомба/Кассетные огнебомбы damage to truly nutty numbers. The party wide (this does include you!!) critical strike buff from Пакт ловцов душ is just icing on the cake.

What are the numbers like?

In a raid encounter with multiple targets you can expect Kyrian to be about 1-3% stronger than Night Fae, Kyrian to be about 6-8% stronger than Necrolord, and 12-14% stronger than Venthyr.

NOTE: This does not include potential group wide benefits from Kyrian's Legendary Пакт ловцов душ. This only considers your potential performance and the relative differences between the covenants in a multiple-target fight in a raid.

However....

Depending on the encounter and damage pattern, you could very well find yourself rocking Night Fae for AoE encounters! There are a few things to consider when picking your Covenant for a multiple target fight. How long are the adds up? How many adds are there? Do adds spawn in at intervals to match your Covenant ability? Do the adds live long enough to get the full benefit of Дикие духи or will you waste uptime on adds? For example, a fight with fewer, longer-living adds or spawns at regular 1 or 2 minute intervals really synergizes with Дикие духи and Осколки древних рогов.

On the other hand, if there is a fight with more frequent adds, adds that die very fast, or enough targets to disable Осколки древних рогов, you will find Kyrian benefit you more due to how the Covenant works with more frequent adds and Бурный акселератор анимы. If you find yourself in a fight where both Covenants are very similar in performance you'll want to stick with Kyrian as it does buff your party members as well.

Based on initial raid testing on the PTR, for Sepulcher of Domination, a fight that would prefer Night Fae is something like the Prototype Pantheon or Dausegne. A fight that would prefer Kyrian is Vigilant Guardian or Lihuvim.

Best Survival Hunter Double Legendaries for Mythic+

Kyrian: Пакт ловцов душ and Кассетные огнебомбы

Much like the write up above, you'll use the tried and true Kyrian build. The sheer power Mikanikos brings to us with Молот творения and Бурный акселератор анимы works great in Mythic+ and our normal AoE playstyle really leans into the explosive power the tier set brings. Not to mention, Кассетные огнебомбы works fantastic with Бурный акселератор анимы providing your entire party (and you!!) with very frequent uptime on a flat 10% buff to your critical strike chance.

A lot of people have their eyes on the potentially strong Necrolord legendary Сумка с боеприпасами. It's important to consider the party benefit Пакт ловцов душ brings as well as the frequency you can bring this to your dungeon group noted above. Not to mention, with Бурный акселератор анимы, you will find the cooldown of Резонирующая стрела rivals or is even shorter than Шакрам смерти. Not to mention, Kyrian buffs the rest of your party with Пакт ловцов душ.

As always, it's important to consider your party's composition and damage needs.

Important Feedback
A frequent discussion in the Survival Discord channel in Trueshot Lodge is how odd it feels to use an AoE focused Legendary (Кассетные огнебомбы ) in single-target focused environments. While the flexibility and ease-of-use is appreciated, as well as the synergy with our shiny new tier-set, it can feel a bit odd using our beloved AoE legendary in single-target fights.

Some suggest buffing single-target Legendaries we haven't touched the entire expansion, such as Ошеломляющие удары охотника на рилаков or Инъекторы медленного яда. Another common suggestion is embracing the current bugged state of the tier-set (mentioned in more detail towards the start of the article) and have the 4-piece buff the damage of Огнебомба for primary targets to have a new tuning knob to turn.

Another item of interest is that it's frankly hard to test and get a good feel for the tier-set and double Legendary combination with the currently bugged state of the tier-set.

All that being said, a large portion of the Survival Community is very excited for our powerful tier-set and how it synergizes well with our kit and a fan-favorite Legendary item. Many can't wait to see where our favorite spec ends up in 9.2!
