Blizz's own words about Hunters

Prove how the hunter is empowered by ohn’ara

The only thing i recognize is that you are acting like a clown

You sure are. Done with you now. Run along and cry in the feedback forums.

Your proof that the hunter is empowered by a wild god, is their class hall in legion? are you high? :laughing:

Even survival have more ties with Ohnara cause their artifact weapon :face_exhaling:

That would be interesting. A ranged DH.

It should be noted that Ohnara empowered the site and gave it her blessing specifically against the legion, not that Ohnara is the source of hunter abilities as they had those prior to Gaining her favor during the hunters class hall questline.

Thanks for this post. I was hoping this was how it worked and I’m glad because this is exactly what I wanted.

You don’t get it. A spell efect is not a pet anymore than Murder of Crows is a pet…

Yes, I do understand that, I totally and fully understood that so I have no idea why you are responding to me. Have a happy Sunday.

What I do not get is why they did not just make a 4th spec for hunters called Ranger and have that the petless spec. It fits the lore and it’s not like a 4th spec would be new, druid already has 4 specs.

That way you can keep your single pet (MM), menagerie (BM) and melee (Surv)

Because that would require actual effort and work on Blizzards part to develop a new spec and make it stand out against the three other specs. And as has already been well established, blizzard employees hate work when they can just take the easiest route.

they’re justifying a change they wanted to make.
of course they’re going to play-down the relevance
of a pet.
i saw this coming when they dropped kill-command
from the previous mm hunter tree.

I have kited dragons to Org, I have solo’d elites plenty of times without a pet, you are acting like kiting is some new skill to Hunters which is laughable at best, trolling at worst

I think they should just have those moves that summon an eagle for MM to instead summon your primary pet or something. Idk make a glyph? Kind of sucks for players who don’t want to run around with two beasts or be melee to have to use an eagle for their beast attacks on MM. At least let them use the pet they’ve had - possibly for years.

I HATE this proposal. I like using a tenacity pet to tank while I’m doing solo content. There is already the option to not use a pet and get a 5% damage bonus. There is NO NEED to force MM to not use a pet.

Blizzard backed down on this change.

With the next PTR build, we’ll be given a talent in a choice node called “Unbreakable Bond;” it’ll allow us to summon pets.

We’re assuming, based on blue posts, that the MM pets will no longer have “special” abilities beyond growl and basic attack — all the pet utility are being moved to that eagle.

Blizzard did say they’ll slightly buff pets (HP and DPS) in order to compensate for some of the DPS loss that we’ll take by not taking Improved Spotter’s Mark (which is a 20% buff to Aimed Shot — that talent is the other choice in that choice node with the pet). Some players speculate that it’s also because the MM pets will lose family abilities, which are a form of utility.

Ultimately, it’s a lot of speculation right now.

Here’s what we do know:

  1. We can opt into keeping our traditional pets to damage loss, but increased survivability.
  2. The eagle itself and the Hunter will have the formerly-pet-only utility, like Bloodlust.

We’ll find out more with the next PTR build.

they just made mm very boring…
well, it began when they pulled
kill command from the hunter tree.

I wish Blizz wouldn’t make drastic changes in the middle of an xpac. Thanks for the info, though!

They think, there are already too many people playing Hunter.

The solution is a new class, not a new spec:

  • 13 ranged caster specs
  • 13 melee DPS weapon specs
  • 2 ranged weapon specs

The fix is to add a new ranged or semi-ranged physical DPS class to compete with Hunters, not break Hunters until they are only popular with niche players.

Edit: Don’t attack me if my numbers are not exact. They’re close enough.

The way I see it MM would be petless archer sniper. A 4th spec would be the OLd Ranged Surv. Kinda like a scout using stuff like EotB for surveillance. Traps Camo Bl Arrow, LnL. AoE CC.

Imagine quoting 23-24+ year old flavor text, thinking it creates an absolute definition of anything, in a game where they can’t even keep their own canon straight.

How did this thread go to 500+ posts without everyone simply walking away laughing? lol
