I Don't Want to Use an Eagle

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.

You can’t even test the changes yet how do you know how they feel…

The eagle isn’t even a traditional “pet” unless you consider murder of crows a pet as well

I agree wholeheartedly with everything in OP’s post.

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.

he said it “feels” terrible but there is absolutely no way to see how it feels since it’s not implemented?? you’re very argumentative

It does feel terrible knowing the spec will be completely locked from using our pets again. You can feel something towards it without playing it.

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.

It’s a terrible side effect of my ability to read, I’m afraid.

Y’see, there’s these things called “emotions” and people often use the word “feel” to describe when they are experiencing these emotions.
