This is paramount to the fantasy and needs to at least be put as a dark ranger talent. Also, we need glyphs to get rid of this dumb eagle. It goes against both Sentinel and DR. Owl/Crow respectively.

Yeah when I saw that this was gone I was very disappointed.
Wind Arrows/Wailing Arrow was one of the cooler things about MM pre-11.1. They want the spec to be âpetlessâ but there are way too many talents that involve the spotting eagle.

Itâs that ironic? MM Hunters are the least pet focused spec, so what Blizzard do? Gives it a NPC pet that is required for most of Markâs abilities.

its more like a animation then a pet. this just shows your ignorance
^ All of this 1000%
There needs to be a good dozen glyphs to get rid of this eagle so that people can play out their âclass fantasyâ in line with their race and hero talent choices.
Wailing arrow needs to be part of the Dark Ranger kit. Was that new shadowy tendrils animation really only added for half a major patch, wtf??

We know itâs an âanimationâ. thatâs not the point. Itâs an animation that shows a very specific animal that may not be thematic to your race or the fantasy youâve built around it.
A dark iron hunter with a corehound will now have an eagle.
A night elf sentinel typically associated with owls will now have an eagle.
An alien space goat from a planet where eagles donât exist will now have an eagle.
A mechagnome with only mechanical pets will now have an eagle.
THIS is the problem.
And for the wailing arrow - I agree, should be a spell on the dark ranger hero tree, then I can make my Dark Ranger BM.

I hate being at the whim of a dev team that donât even know what they want.

It should have been moved to the Dark Ranger tree from the beginning to make the tree more unique.
Iconic ability, cool visual effect and sound, enhances the fantasy of Dark Ranger.

I just logged into my Dark Ranger, the class I always dreamed about playing since I started playing WOW. I can confidently say that this is without a doubt one of the biggest disappointments that the dev teams have had in a long time. The removal of Wailing Arrow and Wind Arrows removes the immersion of the subclass. The slight cooldown between each black arrow with the delayed explosion is such a nauseating and clunky replacement. Out of touch, giant L, devâs you really need to get in touch with your fanbase. You are repeatedly screwing up the hunter, and I think I speak for most of the fanbase when I say that we are all collectively at a loss of how to make it clearer to you on how to make this class better. Pay attention. I deadass wonât be playing my hunter until this is fixed. The fact that you removed the arrow and kept the shadow tendrils shows really how half assed your ârevampâ was.

I canât fathom why they would not move Wailing Arrow over to Dark Ranger.
It boggles my mind such an iconic ability with so much flavour is just discarded when there is a clear and obvious place for it in a Hero tree that is sorely lacking thematically.
Iâm also feeling the DPS loss. It felt like a powerful shadow nuke akin to chaos bolt. So satisfying.
And the sound was so cool.
