As the title says if I dont have a pet to hold aggro I am a melee hunter like classic, I cant use feign death because that will end the fight. Don’t say go suv or bm if you want a pet.Suv is a melee spec and bm is pet centric. People who chose lone wolf made a choice and lost some utility but gained added damage. Live with your choice everyone else has to.
how do you think every other spec in the game without a pet solos?
read it again mm is not melee thats suv and that sucks and what about feign death answer all
You cry on forums loud enough. Then the salty water elemental will be spawned that’s gonna tank for you.
Are there perhaps other classes that are not melee AND don’t have pets ?
Standard mobs die before they ever get to you. If you’re in low gear concussive shot takes care of it, they will still die before they get to you. Elites aren’t intended to be solo’d, you don’t see balance druids out there soloing elites. But we are lucky, we have the option to go BM on those occasions, or we can put together a group as intended.
do you think every single spec in the game besides MM has a pet to help solo?
I have 1 of every class some melee some ranged . Getting rid of pets for solo MM completely changes the play style can’t you see that? And for what because people who chose lone wolf can’t face the fact that they gave up pet utility for more damage.
you seem to be having trouble facing facts yourself
So they don’t all have pets ?

You kite with traps\stuns\slows\concuss shot
Ah, the classic thread where one part of the player base blames another for the degradation of their experience.
Is it so hard to imagine that this design direction for MM Hunters might have been the result of a class designer or team at Blizzard brainstorming a creative new path forward? That they worked through a design process to craft something unique - like a scouting hawk concept - deeply rooted in the fantasy of being a master marksman?
Or no, it must have been some shadowy cabal of Lone Wolf enthusiasts meeting in secret, out to ruin the game for me. It must be them.
Yeah never mind the 100 tools at your fingertips that allow you to maintain distance and kill things before they ever get to you
As opposed to MD all agro to my pet , already noticed i cant MD in Delves anymore. (tried it again, guess it was some wort of mechanic)
Which is DUMB. so now i have to be a freaking BM, its like they want to get rid of MM of the days of old.
very upset.
I learned how to kite in Vanilla on my way to level 10, and I honestly never stopped. I am very heavy on the strafe, disengage, and tar trap. I rarely use a pet with MM. Not even in delves. Sometimes I like to take barrage (not for long, though!) into delves and pull everything I can by spinning in a big circle, and then I group all the mobs up and kite them around on my tar trap while I whittle away at their health. Could I just get my pet to tank them? Sure. But that’s less interesting.
The rework comes with other updates to help you survive without a pet. Freezing trap will not break immediately when you attack anymore. You have stuns. You have tar trap. Concussive shot. We will see what else we get.
But yeah, you’ll have to think and plan a bit, like any good marksman would. If you do want to continue playing a brain dead spec, you have BM.
More like crapstorming on drugs, very creative how they apprently stole the idea of ranger with bird from another game
So rooted that you can barely cite 3, even if you google it
Huh? I MD in delves all the time.
As everyone has said, you have a lot of tools to keep things at a distance, but probably, yes, sometimes you will face tank things more than you used to. Just like Shamans, Priests, Mages, etc. You might actually have to eat for reasons other than the buff.
I’m agnostic on the change. I don’t have a dog in the fight (kind of like MM is soon to be, haha!) as my hunter main is BM/Survival. But, I do empathize with MM hunters who like to have a pet as an option. I think it would have been better to continue to have pets as a sub-optimal MM dps option for open world content, solo play, etc., and further enhance Lone Wolf to give MM hunters bloodlust and other abilities that eliminate the need to call a pet in a dungeon.
i tried to MD in i think waterworks the other day and got a message saying something was messing with his mind.
