Im not dodging anythingā¦ i also wasnt intending to make a complete list of everything, that would takes longer than i care to dedicate to these forums.
We both know what im taking about, at least we both should if youve actually played a hunter since before legion.
One thing i absolutely do not want back is the dead-zone, or even melee weaponsā¦ make no mistake on that.
There are many many quality of life things in retail i do miss, ill be fair and honest about that. stable slots the ability to swap pets easier as needed etcā¦
BUT, in the end i am willing to trade those, for what feels like a better overall experience, an i hope the Devs are listening and stop trying to tell us what we want and stop dumbing the game down to the floor.
If thatās what you REALLY want, then you NEED to be more specific. Make vague claims like you have, and skill cap boy will have you trying to drop traps on FD again.
Personally, Iād like the see the game returned to itās more deadly state. The REAL issue is that there is no reason to have additional skills at current. Our enemies are tuned to super care bear modeā¦that has ZERO to do with what skills a hunter does or does not have.
I for instance, listen to the lot of you talking about DPS rotationsā¦there used to be MORE to fighting than a GDm rotation ā¦.THAT is what makes the current version of the game less fun. IT DOESNāT REALLY MATTER WHAT THAT ROTATION MIGHT BE. They are ALL rotationsā¦from the first expansion to the last.
Some ones really salty.
I do agree with your points in your post though.
I dont need to do anythingā¦ the point of it was that i hoped they were paying attention, nothing more.
If they ask or are i have a list ready but its been covered so many times why rehash it all again?
WELL THEN. I guess weāll just have to hope the Devs that created an expansion that YOU DONāT PARTICULARILY LIKE, are just paying attention to all the RIGHT things you wantā¦ā¦ā¦lord knows we have an ENTIRE POST that is now filled with things you said you DONāT WANT. Good luck with thatā¦
Considering the sub jump its hardly about what I want, but by all means continue to be a tard if it makes you feel better.

Rank 1 Ice Trap duration is 10 seconds. Only placed out of combat etc.
Thatās pretty silly. Itās no wonder Blizzard made those type of changes as the game progressed.

Itās Definitely not for everyone. Thereās good and bad.
i attempted to reroll, but i canāt stand playing without cheetah/mount. back to hunter.
i agree with this, one of the many QoL issues that def made the game better. i hope that if classic moves forward they might give that back.
The overall tradeoffs right now though are what they are.
Rewinding hunters to classic is not the way to make them better. At all. You want the deadzone mechanic back with all the melee ranged slows and gap closers they have now. It would be a nightmare. Imagine trying to 1v1 a dh with the deadzone mechanic

Like I said in previous posts in this thread. I havenāt played retail. Iām not campaigning to bring back any mechanics. I PERSONALLY like the dead zone mechanic. I think it creates a skill cap to further separate hunters from one another.
What I have said, is that itās naive to think they wont learn or bring ANYTHING back from the classic, or previous iterations of the Hunter class.
Classic WoW has lead to over 200% increase in subs for WoW. Blizzards main priority will be keeping retention on those players. In my OPINION their best bet is to get classic players like myself to TRY retail. They will need to make changes to entice players to give it a go.
Im sure they will. Aspect bar baseline abilties. Deadzone tho has no place in retail. Just a fact. Not everytging needs to be classic like . the game needs to be better. Not classic 2.0

One option they can do is to give melee abilities back to MM and BM while giving the ranged weapon back to SV and allowing BM and SV options to buff their Ranged/Melee abilities and bring a true Ranged/Melee Hybrid to the Class. They wont and the downsides include toxic players still wanting to force MSV players out of their class and Blizzard continuing the trend of forcing certain game play through damage numbers.
Thatās not a fact, thatās an opinion. From what Iāve seen the class in retail is a shallow husk of what it used to be. Cataclysm really changed the class for the worse in my opinion. What things would you want to see brought back aside from aspects?
Yeah I donāt understand the removing of melee abilities. From what iāve heard the class pruning went too far. Itāll be interesting to see what changes are in store at blizzcon. Although i have no intention of playing retail, iām open to it.
They went when the minimum range went. Instead of just lowering the cost of PvP Melee Weapons for Hunters, they just did away with them in MoP.
Not too much else to add from Classic/Vanilla, quivers being on the backs for Bows and Crossbows again, but only aesthetically, Aspect of the Cheetah/Pack and Aspect of the Beast making the Hunter and the Pet untrackable is about it.
Earlier in the thread someone mentioned Wing Clip being removed currently. I think that for sure would need to come back. I have my few things iād like to see but what I want, and what would get me to at least try retail are two separate things. I realize people all donāt enjoy the same things as I do. As was made clear in this thread.
Baseline for SV in Retail. The other two Specs are Ranged only and use a better Concussive Shot than found on Classic. No matter how much people want to pretend itās some hybrid, SV is Melee and itās the only viable Melee we have as a Hunter.
