Blizzard will never admit that Survival rework is a failure

You say you’ve seen me make this claim before however I’ve only got about 2 weeks of post history on these forums… so go ahead and try to find that post you’re making up.

I apologize. I could have sworn you had before. I mixed you up with another poster who made that exact claim over a month ago.

Its been 7 years…ranged survival is never coming back, nor should it.

So, my apologies there.

@Vonille-moon-guard

However, even considering that, Survival as a purely ranged spec only existed for four years (MoP Spec rework in 2012 to Legion rework in 2016). Survival was a hybrid for about 8 years, strictly ranged for about 4 years, and back to a melee focused hybrid for the last 5.

I don’t think I ever mentioned purely ranged, since the class itself wasn’t purely ranged until MoP. SV absolutely was ranged for 12 years, with the version of the spec most people remember starting in Wrath so 8 years.

Let us play the Rexxar-themed hunter class, you have two other ranged specs to enjoy. You don’t need ours, too - don’t be greedy.

I’m not trying to take your spec away from you. It’s not greedy for me to want what I lost back though, which is why I argue for a fourth spec consistently. I’m not here to take away your fun. Please do not make excuses for Blizz since the same wasn’t afforded to those who liked the old spec. The other two (BM and MM) play differently and fill different thematic niches, which leaves a good portion of the community unsatisfied since the old spec was outright removed.

It would be wrong to remove the current spec. Please try to understand that it was wrong for the old spec and that most people aren’t being “greedy.”
