No pets for marksman hunters!

Because pet is the core part of the hunter class

Is like asking “why does every mage need magic”? “why does every warrior need weapons?” is nonsense statement

I feel like the hunter is the “core” part of the hunter class.

Not every make uses the same element. Not every warrior uses the same weapon type, IE 2h vs sword and shield vs 2x 1 handers.

Marksmanship Hunter stood in somewhat stark defiance of that for much of its existence, as it was often more than willing to abandon pet access in exchange for extra throughput from Lone Wolf. Over World of Warcraft’s history, this talent was iterated, changed, and grew to be a core part of Marksmanship’s identity.

There were many fantasy and gameplay issues with Lone Wolf. Pets had legitimate utility behind them, such as Bloodlust, defensives, and mobility. Having to summon your pet and lose Lone Wolf to access that utility as Marksmanship often had legitimate experiential and throughput consequences. Why should a Hunter be frustrated to pull out their pet? The discord between Marksmanship Hunters and their pets felt like something that needed to be solved-- and our goal was to solve that problem in a way that not only reembraced pets as a part of Marksmanship’s identity, but also did it in a unique and fantasy-forward way.

Face it, the pet isn’t part of mm core gameplay.

You are trying to make that this is just about me, when the forums clearly show this is also about a huge chunk of the community that play MM, and is not by just “wanting” and “wanting” is not reason to discredit either.

No. But you seem to be one of the loudest ones in all these posts. Which is why I singled out the “YOU” part.
And a huge chunk do not use the forums.

Pocket tanking, expedience questing, better control in PVP, player enjoyment due to pet hunting and playstyle that fit then

It brings a lot to the spec, you are being disingenuous saying it bring nothing, because it doesn’t in the context you play

1. Pocket tanking (basically the only thing outside of main utility that the pet brings)
2. expedience questing (so pocket tanking)
3. better control in PVP (aka holding someone in combat so they can’t drink)
4. player enjoyment due to pet hunting and playstyle that fit then (user choice - which you can play surv/bm if you want a pet if that’s what is important to you)

That’s not a lot. A pocket tank, annoyance in pvp and personal choice.
And you are twisting my words. It does not bring anything combat related to the spec other than pocket tanking.

Literally been saying that for weeks and you continue to twist my meaning rofl.

sO iTs OnLy OnE tHinG?

Yeah, try to answer again without being disingenuous

Personal choice is not a good reason when 2 other specs exist.
Purely keeping someone in combat because white hits is not a good reason.
Pocket tanking is the only good reason, so yea. One thing.
