Year of the spear

No.

(I was talking ranged weapons since survival is the only spec that can really use polearms/staves)

However, SV still uses a crossbow for two abilities.

100 percent right. I’ve even had one of each just for fun: Dwarf gun MM, Orc Crossbow SV, and Belf bow BM

Why not? The Hunter in the original trailer uses a gun and bear, and Sylvanas and Dark Rangers use bows with no pets

I don’t understand why bow wouldn’t be for MM. Without a pet it’s stealthier, and guns make perfect sense for the pet-heavy spec.

Survival is spear obviously.

Ftfy

Also, Dark Rangers (not Sylvanas) first showed up in WoW with worg pets.

Dont forget tranq.

He is MM in open-world. Pets are good in open-world even for MM.

No. The guns startle the pets, and rapid fire makes more sense if it’s coming from a gun. Cobra shot - did I stuff a cobra into the barrel? No it was hanging out in my quiver.

Why would a Hunter use a bear in open world pve or pvp

I think what’s really going on here is you play BM and like bows

elves = bows
all the good races = guns

He was also keyboard turning and clicking on his spells.
Times change.

I actually play MM and use a bow. But don’t tell anyone.

Yes. I failed to consider this. But they are the exception, not the rule.

Spelled “wrong” wrong.

Crossbows are hideous and i can’t wait till we get something to give us other options than the forced one in survival.

A glyph for a lil pistol I would concede to.

This would be ok. Though it would be best to allow us to use a pickable bow.

I would love this. Literally all they would have to do is copy paste from outlaw.

Legion wasn’t fine because it established this toxic and unnecessary precedent of each spec being mapped 1:1 to a different weapon type (as expressed by this thread) in the first place. There shouldn’t be “the bow spec” or “the gun spec” or anything of the sort. All Hunters should be able to use bows, guns, and crossbows equally since that’s part of being a Hunter.

As for spears; these should be things usable by Warriors and accessible by Hunters for cosmetic purposes. I picture a cosmetic melee slot that allows the Hunter to show a melee weapon on their back without getting a stat bonus + a baseline Wing Clip for all three specs which either uses the ranged weapon in the animation (as it currently works below level 13) or whatever melee weapon is in the cosmetic slot.
