You know what? I had an epiphany.

Step 1: Switch the positions of Ranged Weapon Specialization and Master Marksman.
Step 2: Increase RWS to 4/8/12/16/20% more damage.

Voila, BM and MM are balanced against each other. It then becomes "do I want to hit harder (MM) or faster (BM)?" and "do I want to buff my own damage (MM) or my pet's (BM)?"

It's so simple.

Too simple for Blizzard to ever do it, at least.

Interesting change imo.

I've long thought that's what the specs should be like:

BM: Shoot faster
MM: Shoot harder
Surv: Not quite as hard or fast, but more crits and some fun CC stuff

Preferably they'd all do similar amounts of damage (perhaps Survival not quite so much, just because it has all the CC tricks and we wouldn't want it to override the other specs) and you'd just pick the playstyle you liked best.

i always thought thats how it was supposed to be, but I was proved wrong unfortunately.
