With the latest deafening lack of updates on Hunter for the Alpha, I sure hope this means they are completely reworking the class and want to drop a huge surprise when it’s ready to reveal.
It’s so disheartening to hear nothing on this very iconic class for so very long. Please give us hint that something is awesome is being worked on!
Yep. Coming soon™ in the newest 12.0 Midnight expansion!
2 months later this tree is still the same and garbage
spell slinger and frost fire are extremely boring.
What did you expect? A whole expansion later and the Survival tree is the same as beta except the cost went from 3 to 2 for a couple talents.
SS looks a lot of fun actually
Agreed.
All 3 Mage Hero Talents look like a ton of fun to me as someone who dropped Mage in BFA after maining it for 10 years due to the class feeling stagnant.
Anyways.
Just wanted to once again bump this to show how disappointed I am in this tree. The only Hero Power tree we had that was class focused not race focused and its ultimately a nothing-burger.
More KCs and Barbed Shots. The entire tree is essentially a forgettable tier set bonus.
Bottom of the barrel hero tree. Dead last in all hero tree tier lists I’ve seen. F tier. You can tell someone is playing pack leader by the fact that they look like they have no hero tree at all.
no update from devs at all.
i’m okay with pack leader just being passives. the play style is fine. i got into a car accident a while ago and can only really play with one hand, so bm is perfect for me.
but visual stuff for pack leader would be cool. Even if it’s just another pet that is pure cosmetic.
Ngl if this keeps going on with 0 changes and the devs not giving a single flying F about hunters im re-rolling to another class, the hunter dev should lose his/her job cus they getting paid for not doing a single thing. Yeah Im mad already.
I would like to give a bit of constructive feedback.
I suggest dropping the concept of ‘Pack leader’ entirely; in favor of some sort of Loa/Wild-God based talent tree.
Wild Avatar:
The hunter calls upon the power of patron wild-gods to empower them in battle, and smite their enemies. The hunter may choose a/multiple Loa/Gods as patrons. Loa/Gods can be switched out for cosmetic differences in attacks. Wild Avatars will also receive empowered versions of Aspect abilities.
The tree would revolve around replacing some shots and bombs with powers granted by the Loa. Some examples:
Beast Master: [Dire Beast] now summons Spirit Beasts representing your patrons. Some would have special abilities like casting lighting, spitting poison, and so on.
Survival: Bombs are replaces with [Wild Smite]. The hunter calls upon their patron to smite their enemies in a small radius around the target.
A Beast Master who pledges themselves to Ohn’arha can summon flocks of birds that shoot gusts of wind.
A Survival Hunter who pledges themselves to Yu’lon, and smite enemies with jade fire.
If warlocks can get raid bosses from Antorus as summons why don’t BM/Pack leader Hunters have a giant Ursoc Spirit Beast summon come in and wreck some stuff.
So disappointed to see the hunter class has not yet received any major changes. Beta is around the corner which means time for major or even minor rework is swiftly evaporating. Please at least give us a heads up if anything is being worked on. This continued silence is incredibly demoralizing.
You say they have received no major changes. Beyond a grammatical change, and a little number shuffling of Sentinel in week 1 or 2, the only change of any sort we have seen is having the melee range increase removed from Lunge. Not only was this part of a game-wide change for all melee range increasing talents, it was left to last like an afterthought.
I find this lack of changes and the minimal communication increasingly frustrating, and I feel neglected and dismissed.
That would be fun! A visual for Pack Leader would be nice. I know the visual cue for BM is 2 pets.
I do wish there was something like we got all pet abilities like Spirit Mend, Blood Lust, Fortitude. It’s not the end of the world having to switch but having to choose between a little heal which can help out & BL is annoying. But that might be better in the hunter tree.
I do wish there was another pet battle rez. But I’d call it Battle Rex and have a devilsaur roar to wake up the fallen ally.
I wish that the game play aspects of the classes/specs were just in their trees & tier, while hero talents were just cosmetic flavor.
Pack leader. The hunter is able to call any pet from his stable as a secondary pet.
New exotic pet abilities:
Roar
Resurrection
Cleanse
Immolation Aura
AoE stun
AoE fear
Seed of Corruption
Mass Bleed
Chain heal
Whirlwind
Doesn’t matter. Give back actual exotic pets. That would be heroic.
To my understanding half of Pack Leader still doesn’t work correctly as we’re approaching the Beta.
Am I wrong and it has been fixed? If not is this going to be addressed?
Well in the past 2 months we’ve had a 3yard nerf to Lunge, a typo correction, and a downgrade to Sentinels visuals. So still bugged.
no it’s still not functional
