For BM this doesn’t fix the tree bloat at the top still. Moving stuff and making choice nodes helps with some of the points but the top is still very very bloated

Agreed. If they remove Loaded Quiver, and add that extra charge back into Barbed Shot by default, it would free up one point in the top section at least.

@Vulonnah-uther

There are 19 points that can be spent at the top of the BM tree. One could spend about 15 points before progressing to the center of the tree. This doesn’t leave much to select at the bottom of the tree.

Blizzard: There are too many multi-point talents at the top of each of the Hunter spec trees!

Here’s an idea: Please, do NOT require multi-point predecessor talent requirements to unlock a successor. Have the successor talent unlock with a single point. This allows the player flexibility in where the put the extra points at high character levels. During leveling, a player will need to be very selective as they progress. At max level, the player should have options at how they adjust their play style for the type of content

Yep, pretty much. I would vastly prefer more 1-point nodes, and that they add more nodes to the existing ones instead.

really want to see lonewolf become baseline, and a ranged survival type (mop/wod) dot(black arrow)/instacast arcane magic type shot spell added into MM tree, shoehorn that in somewhere, make it 4 main branches down the trees and everyone would be happy, would have aoe, trueshot type mid, wailing arrow to the right, then next to that branch the ranged survival type dot/insta cast style of game play.

again, lonewolf should be baseline like how it is now

I def agree on Lone Wolf going back to a baseline passive for any hunter spec that doesn’t have mandatory interactions baked into their core gameplay, with that of pets.

Having said that, I do not agree that they should bake the old RSV mechanics into MM. It will require many nodes in the MM tree to be replaced/removed to allow for adequate space for these new talents/effects. Not to mention how it will affect/impact the core structure of MM itself, and its intended playstyle.

If anything, I would want them to add old SV in as its own option, something like: [Updated for Dragonflight] Munitions - If RSV was to return (my thoughts on what it should/could look like)

@Aneìra-emerald-dream

also when dual wield survival hunters? transmog or otherwise

Sure, why not.

@Rocknroll-kargath

I do love the communication and effort being shown by the devs thus far. Gives me a dangerous level of hope that some of these issues get hammered out.

You make some good points. But like Rythgar said, if you have access to the alpha forums, it would be best to make a post there with your feedback for the spec. Especially as this topic is mostly focused on the class tree + Beast Mastery. Not Marksmanship.
