It’s ambitious new design, sure, but feels terrible to be forced to use an eagle as a marksman hunter.
I have a marksman hunter who is a tauren cowboy and uses no pet and a rifle. I have a gnome hunter who uses a robot friend and a machine gun. I have a marksman NE hunter who uses a black panther from darkshore to play the warcraft 3 fantasy.
But you’re taking that from us. Why? Because Lone Wolf is hard to balance?
There are going to be hundreds of thousands of us all using the EXACT same pet, no matter what race we’re playing, no matter the background our headcanon is for our character. This is sentinel’s conforming design (with the owl) all over again, and much, much worse!
I don’t want to be a beastmaster who summons rexxar’s 3 specific pets (he used an eagle in wacraft 3, not a wyvern anyway). I have a beastmaster goblin who uses mechs, an undead who uses zombie animals, a hunter who only uses insect pets, a zandalari who is a dinomancer and uses dinosaurs.
Now they have to use 3 very specific mammals because a character from The Frozen Throne’s orc campaign used them? Stop!
The marksman hunter rework is another RP bottleneck.
Don’t do this to us! Don’t force this on us! Revert these changes.
They feel terrible.
If you read the post again, you will notice that there’s nothing in it about how the rotation feels, how powerful the new buttons are, how cluttered or uncluttered the UI is. You are responding to a post nobody made. Nobody needs to “test” whether or not an eagle feels appropriate for their dino-wrangler.
I can sympathize as a Shaman main who hates pets, needing spec into several pets, earth elemental to act as a shield and wolves, in order to be functional just doesn’t feel good and really takes me out of my character mindset.
Exactly! I really am not on keen on having Rexar’s pets shoehorned into my hunters.
I enjoy themeing my hunters and pets. I like the abilities they are giving, it seems interesting. But it feels like the class designers bend themselves into pretzels trying to come up with left field ideas to fix “problems” no one is talking about while also ignoring the actual issues we bring up in the forums.
Side-eyes the belves literally having multiple places named after falcons, as well as falcon imagery across their ranger armor and then the Sentinel Owl that has been with nelves since WC3
And they pretend its fine cuz they will make 2 glyphs once in a lifetime to change the stupid bird into an elf owl and a crow and call a day
I don’t want to be forced with this dumb bird, i want my option to have my own pet and no pets at all.
I already have a goblin hunter MM at lv 70 all ready to rock my mechanical pets for the new patch, and to get the new one, but now i cant, because Blizz decided MM identity is a lame bird now “but its fine, MAAAYBE blizz will make a robot chicken or smth” no its not fine, because there are better robot animals to use
glyph of raven would be amazing for me.
i hate pet especially in pvp. they are very dumb. controlling them is really hard if you are not survival or bm. i was using pet because of MS effect.
They could at the very least create a special “cosmetic bird slot” in the stables so you could add one of your pets to alter the appearance of this eagle to a flyer that suits your character more.
Good riddance to the pets I say. Its not like we had much choice anyways regarding what pet we could use since it wasnt a cosmetic choice. Sick of having to choose between only a few pet types tbh.
