“Ranged weapon-using pet class”. That is very committed.
How exactly is it vague?
Honestly, that’s not my problem friend. If you’re only skimming the actual discussion we had been having until you reached the post where I finally got too frustrated, then that’s on you. I’m not going to start putting disclaimers on my posts for the tldr crowd.
I know that sounds harsh, and I’m sorry. I get that a lot has been typed and it’s hard to keep track of who said what. But end of day, it’s not my obligation to show unending reserves of patience just so you don’t assume I’m entirely disingenuous.
Especially when you respond with baseless accusation that make your own intentions seem disingenuous, whether intended or not.
I mean, at the core I’m not against 90% of the MM changes.
NGL, it really is about the pets for me. Nearly 20-ish years on this hunter now, and I have boring pet taming stories for… Not even days, it’d probably take months to type them all, and I’m sure I’d forget a few. I’ve tried BM, and it’s playstyle just is not for me at all. So losing access to all those stored up memories, not only of taming my pets but stupid and silly things I’ve only been able to do because I had a pet, just doesn’t sit right.
Especially when we already have a workable way that just really, truly does need some tuning.
Lone Wolf is fine. It just needs to come with a button that allows you to use the big cooldown ability (it’s bloodlust, obviously) of your slot #1 pet. And if you want to add more flavor to that? Hero Talents are literally right there and should have immediately been the go-to. I picked Sentinel, just because then it also gives SV the option to go petless if they wanted.
WoW never does well when options are restricted, and this change is pure restriction. Want no pet? Too bad, bird. Want pet? Too bad, bird.
Unless some of y’all were out here really just craving a bird-only spec, I don’t see who this perfectly caters to, and instead see it as giving both sides what they don’t want.
EDIT: Ahem. So all that to say, I’m not even against a core talent overhaul that adds in the functionality of this “New-New MM” spec.
