Blizzard is making a mistake with an easy solution

I’m sure you’ll be able to explain what you’re talking about here and aren’t just saying words for the sake of saying words

MM does not have a choice of a pet.

So not like BM, not like what we used to have and still screwing a hunter out of their pet stable unless they play a spec they hate.

Many ideas have been given since we first learned of this. Choices can absolutely exist. They always have.

“Blizzard said no pets, so you don’t get pets, because something something optimal when it wasn’t a problem before if people wanted to be suboptimal and it’s okay for BM to have an option to be suboptimal.”

I don’t know.

Seems we aren’t going to get a straight answer and I’m tired of going around in circles in these threads. So… I’m out.

The only change is the mend pet talent now makes Natural Mending go from 1.0s off per 10 focus spent to 1.5s off per 10 focus spent. Better for raid and dungeons, will do literally nothing for surviving any heavy hitting open world content - it just means we will die with 30s cooldown left on our heal instead of 45s left.

Dude, what’s your arguments against a pet if both pet and pet less play exactly the same???

Answer this and DO NOT REFER TO ANY SPEC AT ALL:

Are specs allowed to have suboptimal dps choices or not?

Correct, it will have other choices based around the way a majority of players play the spec, because it won’t have a pet anymore

BM has choices, MM will also have choices
Frost DK has choices and they don’t have pets
Most specs have choices, most don’t have pets

You will have choices, not pets. As I said:

Answer this

Yes, but this isn’t the gotcha you think it is because the argument isn’t whether specs can or should have suboptimal choices, and I’ve never claimed that

You’ve never claimed that because it’s the exact point you keep missing on purpose. You keep thinking this is about the word “pet” and nothing else.

You mean to tell me yours and OP’s point the entire time had nothing to do with MM having pets, you just want to be able to play suboptimal spec builds and rotations?

I have no problem with that, feel free to play suboptimally. I personally hate using Breath of Sindragosa myself.

Yeah my bad, I must have gotten confused with literally everyone else in this thread talking about MM and their pets.

The good news with the MM update is there will still be a way to play suboptimally, so you should be fine.

Go pull a pack of meader bees without a pet and get back to me about how sub-optimal having a pet out is for that.

Or a silver elite (the big ones not the 9m HP ones).

I think you replied to the wrong person

So you think having a pet go against the fantasy of MM???

Cuz if so, wth is the eagle?

True, thankfully, like any other class in the game, Hunters are blessed with ways to mitigate damage.

Pre-position Tar Trap, then open with Rain of Arrows followed by Aimed Shot, if you have Trueshot, you will also gain Double Tap in this update, which probably means by the time you hit around 600-ish ilv mobs in the open world and tier 8 delves will be melting anyways.

Doesn’t Grimoire of Sacrifices come with it’s own can of worms due to Soul-link and DPS loss? Never played Warlock, but all the guides I am seeing prefer the flat DR as opposed to 5% stam, how is this any better than LW?

You guys gotta get your story straight. Is this thread about the pet, or is it about being able to play suboptimally?

If you think the Eagle is a pet in a way that matters, why are you so upset?

A choice existing for a long time does not mean it needs to. You made your point, I found it uncompelling. So do the people who design the spec. BM is a pet spec, MM is not, is not run that way by most people and it has been a detriment to the people running it as intended.

Yes, because reasons, it’s terrible to maintain and a drag on the spec focus. You want to continue to ignore that it’s up to you.

The eagle? No of course not…

But it removes all our other pets, hundreds of them.
