“It’s likely” doesn’t cut it, it’s also not even likely that’s just an unfounded opinion. It would have been incredibly easy just to not have the eagle at all and just call pet1 so it would definitively be YOUR pet, the same one you went out and physically tamed rather than just something that looks different from the default eagle yet here we are.
Because people rightly recognize it’s not an archer focused spec without a pet, it’s an archer focused spec with blizzards choice of a pet instead of your pet. You might like to pretend something else because it makes you easier to paint your detractors as dumb but in the immortal words of children at the playground, “No u.”
Na screw that, again if BM has the option to have one or two petes then mm should have that same privilege of it doesn’t effect gameplay as I outline in the OP
This kind of attitude is why people don’t respect the explanations, actually, because people sneer down their noses and go “no”, then when asked why they will usually give them some kind of easily countered argument. “Its a damage loss” being an example of one, another being “The majority wants it” (With no polls to back that up, of course, they just claim it but both sides do that). “Just play BM/SV” but they don’t like the way those specs play, the pro pet players aren’t even generally demanding MM has to have a pet (Even though it literally does, even if some people find feathered flying rats to be disgusting they’re still stuck with em.) they’re more upset about the Choice to have pets even if suboptimal going away, especially since they’re already baking all the utility directly into MM.
I said it before, I’ll say it again, its not anything to do with numbers. Its what some blizzard developer has for Their class fantasy for MM hunter, and they’ve been trying to push it since WOD.
MM has fundamental spec issues because of the pet/lonewolf issues. They are removing pets because of that issue and the spec will be better moving forward.
This has been answered every time, lmao, some people really do not vibe with the playstyle of beast mastery and it favoring damage from pets and the hunter assisting/controlling them, vs the Hunter being the primary damage dealer and the pet assisting.
if utility and balance were the concern, then we wouldn’t have a pet at all. Instead we got our pets swapped for blizzards pet so no, just because blizzard stated a reason you agree with does not mean it is valid. Just as because you cannot comprehend the words being spoken to you does not mean repeating yourself makes your stance more valid either.
See, that’d work perfectly except, again, Very different style of play, also melee, both have their issues that don’t make them 1/1 changeovers from MM’s playstyle.
IDK why it has to keep being explained that this is a group based game first and when there are issues with a spec that affects its ability in group content it takes priority over solo content.
