Good lord the hunters just never stop demanding. They gave you your pet. What else do you want?

Maybe because survival is a shoehorned in melee spec no one asked for (RIP old SV) and BM is incredibly boring.

You dont do any content where damage is even remotely important so just use your pet who cares?
The Op has vanished, once enough people chimed in and crapped on their complaint (non issue) they poofed away into the ether.

A 2-poster thread. I should have known. You just know its a forum regular who didnt have the spine to post it on their main. We need linked-toons between accounts on these forums.

I wish they’d just swap the WoW forums to Battle net IDs like all their other forums are. No more swapping to alts to avoid filters and such.

Maybe this indicates that the rework of MM spec was ill-considered, badly planned, and poorly thought through. I have a hard time believing that adding in the one talent button so we faithful few could keep our pets with us “ruined the spec rebuild.”

I’m going to take one crack at responding to this from my own point of view. I don’t expect everybody to agree with or even validate what I’m saying.
To me, playing BM is nothing like playing MM. I, Liaeatha, am NOT a Beast Master. I’m not great at taming all kinds of different animals. I am a markswoman. I am an expert with my weapon of choice, the bow. I travel the world with my faithful friend, Abby, and I don’t need or try to throw a stable of animals into the field to mob my target. I use Hunter’s Mark, Aimed Shot, and a variety of other skills to bring down my target. BM doesn’t play that way.
Now, when you talk to my Hordie counterpart, she’ll give you HER spin on why she’s BM, not MM.
I’ll say it again. Telling a player who wants to be MM spec to “just play BM” is the same as telling an Enhancement Shaman to “just play Elemental.”

Don’t worry. I’m sure they will come for your class eventually. Something you care about but isn’t the most popular will get pruned.
Blizzard will use the same old excuses and tactics - make it underpowered, “Oh, no one really uses that. Let us remove it. It’s no big deal as most players are already playing that way.”
I think some point in the future, players who got burned this way and have become jaded, will adopt crab in a bucket mentality - “Oh well, too bad. That’s the way Blizzard is. I got burned, now it’s your turn. しょうがない。”

Too late they already got rid of slamming down totems. And let’s not even talk about applying blessings and seals. Things change.
Edit: Any Spec Tanking with Death Knights? Come on. Hunters acting like it’s the first time.
Edit 2: just removing dual wielding and other melee weapons from hunters?!? That’s a bigger dig to me, totally takes away the ranger class fantasy.
But you can still travel with your pet. You’re character is just not, as you admitted, as adapt at fighting alongside beasts, and thus your abilities are weakened. Do you think your DPS might be affected by your characters need to not shoot their own pet?
Yes I feel the forcing when I try to spec in Call Pet and my finger legit would break if I try to pick it…
SOMEbody on the dev team has a bee in their bonnet about the MM spec, and the vision/conviction that it is “supposed” to be a solitary sharpshooter, and, come hell or highwater, that’s the way the spec is going to be played, dammit!
I find it personally gratifying to read the reviews saying that the rework isn’t as good as the supporters hoped it would be. BUT, I acknowledge that I haven’t played the new design, and the feedback here on the forums might not be truly representative.
Or, hear me out, it is the opposite. Because I covered that argument and explained it already here:
Getting rid of MM’s pet officially was all about design space. Removing it meant opening up doors to focusing in on what makes MM into MM, which in turn also would’ve opened up doors on how to explore that avenue.
MM is a petless specialization, both by design and by the player base’s desire for it to be so.
Removing it would’ve meant that you opened up other possibilities as to what it could mean for the specialization. As it stands, those doors were closed instead because now the only thing one can (and will say) is “we already tried that, but folks wanted a random bear from Dun Morogh to help them tank things or something like that.”
To make room for design there actually has to be room for stuff to be added, and for stuff that no one cares about to be removed. Folks who said “I want my pet” have two specializations that use and integrate with their pets… whereas MM has never had any of that since at least WoD, and during WoD when Lone Wolf was introduced using it made you weaker not stronger.
Yet Lone Wolf was easily the most popular hunter talent for MM during and since WoD. Regardless of the state it was in. People in-game want and play MM as a petless specialization, yet on the forums and social media folks saw an opportunity for easy outrage farming … so folks took that to heart, and said “damn any kind of innovation - I want my freebie tank because of reasons, and I won’t play either one of the two specializations that actually use the pet.”
… and this is you openly admitting to being one of the outrage farming folks who like to see things burn for your own amusement. Not because stuff is actually more fun to play.
Sincerely, grow up. Only edgy teenagers act and think like this.

Well, in my defense, I DID say in a different post that I did not expect everyone to agree with me or validate my viewpoint.
Looks like I called THAT one!!!
Be quiet, and play BM.

The option is there to have a pet out while MM, and you STILL complain because of performance issues. I don’t think you actually care about your pet being out at all
Having an opinion about the world being flat doesn’t make it flatter just because you have that opinion. No matter whether people agree or “validate” your viewpoint.
Same thing here.
