Which is why its surprising you still cant comprehend it.
Enlighten me how an auto attack is so game breaking
…so they think they can balance 1 or 2 pets, but they can’t balance 1 or 0 pets. Too rich.

I think the reason Blizz is taking the pets away from MM is also to make the specs more defined.
BM and MM are similar, so much so that BM seemed like a weaker version of MM to me. Stronger in open world/questing but otherwise, nope.
So they probably decided to automate the pet for MM to make it a more defined spec along with fixing the pet follow and drag the dg & aggro issues.
This is just what I think though. It might be better, Idk.
I think everyone should try it 1st. If you don’t like it, shelve your hunter and move on til they change it again.
MM still has a pet though.
How is BM with 1 pet now not also thematicly the same as MM with 1 automated pet? In fact, without factoring in talents, playstyle or abilities (becuase you didnt when you claimed they were too alik), BM with 1 pet is now just MM with better player expression.
Of course when we factor in aaaaaaall of their kit, we can see that MM was already quite different than BM and this rework not only doesn’t change the degrees to which they are distinct, they make MM even more bland flavouless
Except it’s not since mm will still have a “pet”…
Whether you’re using 1 or 2 pets, the spec is designed to use pets.
That’s different than designing a class around using a pet or not using a pet.
And to be clear, for over 10 years they’ve tried to design MM around both, and it hasn’t worked, and a vast majority don’t use the pet because it doesn’t work, so now they’re trying something else
Dude, no matter what they do to mm design wise, a pet would simply just add a second auto attack to a pet that just passively attacks…
The main point of this is having the option to have a pet companion cuz of the aesthetic of it.
Same reason fury has a good damn talent which lets you use one handed weapons despite being weaker than TG
And Arms doesn’t have that option, so play BM
Does arms dual wield??? It never has.
Mm has had pets for twenty years. Stupid comparison
Yep, and now it doesn’t, so play BM
Good thing we are talking about an effectively petless specialization since the last decade in that case. Furthermore, hunter is primarily a ranged damage dealer class - that changed with Legion sort of, since Survival has never been the most popular it still means that hunter is first and foremost a ranged physical damage dealing class. Where your pets can range from zero to two.
Isn’t it weird how everyone who tries to counter the things I have been saying either can’t, or simply just throw out random insults? It is almost like folks can’t refute what it is that I’m saying and instead opt for other strategies, such as avoiding basic common knowledge or in your case pointless hostility.
You realize this change also hurts players who enjoyed the petless fantasy, since now they have a pseudo pet with this eagle.

Yeah I would agree that they shouldn’t hide utility behind spells with animations featuring pets, but at the same, I don’t consider Shadow Priests a pet class
So is this a mechanical issue or thematic issue for you then?
Yes absolutely
Which one

is it though? Or are these just your feelings? It’s not an attitude, it’s an observation based off of decades of seeing it happen in various forms of media.
