Bow enchants and SV hunter bow ability transmog

Classes Hunter
1

Now that we have SOD and rogues have the new rune allowing them to use ranged abilities such as quick draw. I thought it was a cool feature that they pull out the bow they are actually wearing. This is a huge improvement cosmetically to SV hunter that I think should be considered. Allowing for a ranged weapon transmog option would be amazing and make the class fantasy feel that much better. As of right now we have a very simple and lame looking basic hand crossbow. It looks like I’m pulling out a level 1 weapon to use some of my most important rotational abilities. (Also adding this feature to outlaw rogue in retail would be nice.)

I also think that having a option to enchant future bows would be amazing. We get things like seasonal pvp rewards that seem rather useless on hunters because we can never use them. The only time I get to use these enchants is if I’m playing survival which has a cosmetic issue that I listed above. Hope some QOL cosmetic improvements can come the hunters way this time around. :slight_smile:

sv used to have a hatchet toss ability so i wonder why they went with a little hand xbow rather than that

Cause most of Survival’s range abilities are shots of some form. Serpent Sting would be odd being applied by throwing a hatchet.

Serpent… cut?

Come on, that’s for a great ring to it?

Right…?

I really wish they would update the graphics if the hand crossbow, and also allow survival hunters AND outlaw rogues to choose between a hand crossbow, pistol, throwing dagger, or throwing axe.

Transmogging a ranged weapon would be a great option too. But it seems they are really leaning into this offhand ranged weapon thing.

prepare to have your mind blown then!

Blizzard should just update the Glyphs and add one that turns the crossbow into either hatchets, blow darts, or daggers. It give Survival Hunters more ways to customize their character.
