agreed. they tried too much with the spec in legion but instead of removing the bloat and focusing on the spear hunter theme, they made it some weird BM-lite with some ranged skills.
i’d just prefer at this point that they drop the bombs and crossbow and add stuff like spear throws and more melee attacks. having a spec with tons of ranged skills that needs a melee weapon just feels dumb and pointless to me. if i wanted to do ranged stuff with my pet i have BM for that.
