Hey Galedron! I share your concern and wrote about concerns similar to this in the Community Council forum here. However, I am reminded by reading the official Hunter alpha feedback thread. That quote:
- New spell visuals and audio for several new Hero Talent trees are still a work in progress. Many trees are using placeholder assets for now that will be updated over the course of Alpha.
So let’s hope that many of the visuals are just an artefact of being in Alpha. I think this may be true because of the Dark Hound graphics being very similar to the base wolf model from Classic, the dark chains resembling a low-res Nax-type texture, and dark arrow being very simplistic as well. It’s very possible these were quick placeholders.
(Also, shameless weekly reminder to anyone reading that fingers should be crossed for Wailing Arrow to be buffed for Dark Rangers. Please Blizzard! It makes too much sense!)
We want this!
