I like that he didn’t respond to me saying I hunt, my uncle used a dog, or me referring him to videos on Youtube (lots of them) of people using dogs to hunt deer.
He must be trolling. One of the reasons humans domesticated dogs was hunting lol

They are not trying to get rid of hunter pets, thats a mis representation. Those pets you wont lose because they also go towards your beast master so they will still be there. Marksman is losing the ability to use pets key word use. And will be given a unique eagle pet. As i said read the actual details of the blue post before having a panic attack and spreading misinformation on how its actually going to happen. On top of the fact in real life a marksman is typically someone in the military who doesnt use pets and uses only the sheer capabilities of themselves and there rifle.

Why would anyone anywhere feel the need to respond to something so moronic?
Its like me saying im a engineer so tinkers make sense. Its so absurdly pointless most people assume you would slink off after having said it. Realization dawning on you of what a fool you’ve been.
I’m partially quoting you because it won’t let me full quote, but I read all you wrote.
I’m not misrepresenting at all. MM Hunters will no longer have their stable of pets. As far as I’m concerned, for me. I’m not playing SV or BM, hate them both. So they’ll be gone for MM hunters or other MM hunters who do not play the other hunter specs.
Effectively MM hunters being unable to call any pet makes their stable of pets unaccessible. I’m going to assume they won’t be able to see them, but I don’t know for sure.

Not really. You can have the fantasy of a pet marking targets for you without forcing the player to have a pre-set eagle pet. Hell even if they want to keep the eagle stuff, it’s not like they’ve never given the Hunter animal based abilities that aren’t your pet.
Not being able to have the spec fantasy while keeping the pet would just scream of lacking creativity.
Mostly what they’re doing is just taking away player choice that’s been part of the spec for 20 years.

And let’s be honest about LFR, which I suspect has the highest raiding numbers, it really doesn’t matter if players max out the damage to successfully complete a wing. While best practice says to dismiss your pet when in LFR the lower DPS won’t make a bit of difference to the end result.
What we have is a Blizzard manufactured problem created by high end content requiring a tradeoff of lower DPS with pet buff or higher DPS and lose the buff. The fix is not to blowup lower level content but instead to remove the need to choose from higher end content. This can be readily done via the talent trees or via fixed abilities under the spec.

As a LFRaider or even in groups, I dont care if there are 10 shaman, mages or evokers, people seem to be afraid of pushing that lust button (or they press it at the wrong time, but that’s another story) and it falls to the hunter. If you dont control the flappy, how do you control when lust occurs?
With my pet 100% in my control (yes, dismiss before jumping or sneaking by stuff) I control every aspect of my character and it’s abilities.
Not nearly as moronic as this response or what I was responding to originally, where someone claimed a pet such as a dog would be bad for hunting vs hunting alone, then followed up with a claim that no one uses dogs to hunt.

It goes back a lot further that 2016. They first attempted to remove pets from MM Hunters in 2013.

In pvp for MM, the pet remove snares, reduce chances of us getting crit, stun enemy and applies a mortal wound effect on target, easily four utilities I could think of, removing the pet are we able to keep all of these?

Likely not but MM’s dmg took a hit because of them as well in df. Likely will be a trade off. Got my fancy elite fire bow so know what you are talking about.
Yes. Roar of Sac still works like before, just has been updated to work with the Eagle instead. Intimidation now works with your eagle and does not require line of sight. You can choose between Cunning or Tenacity specialization for your Eagle. Mortal Wounds is now applied with Aimed Shot baseline.
Are you being serious?
The hunter casts it.
The most is heroic not LFR.
LFR and normal share achievements and have below heroic.
Then mythic is the lowest.
You can’t have it both ways. Either we are ALL arguing stuff in good faith of you assume everything you read is bogus. At which point, why even bother coming here. A person posted how he hunts. The OTHER person what mentioned hunting did NOT say he was a hunter, but that he “knows” that people always hunt with dogs. If the 2nd person ALSO said he was a hunter and always hunted with a dog, then I’d just assume that was true. But they didn’t and I think that was telling.

I don’t disagree that group content > solo content where difficulty is concerned. But if they make it really hard to solo then that is by definition challenging.

Yes, T11+ wont drop Mythic, which is why I said that it is NOT Endgame Content. High End, but not Endgame. This is just my own line in the sand.
As I said, the only thing I’m going by is that BLIZZARD are going ahead with this. They are the ones running the company. It’s their neck on the line if they screw it up. So I’m assuming they will make the call based on the data that THEY have.
What I trust is that they made this decision based on what’s good for the long term survival of the game. If cosplay wearing RP is what’s good for the game then they’ll cater to that (and the pet will be available regardless of what spec you are). But if they think catering to Number Crunching Raiders is what’s good, then that’s just how it is.
Now, wether we can trust their judgement on how they go about it is a different matter entirely. I fully expect bugs, problems, and all sorts of drama withing seconds of the thing going live. Even more so since we can expect bugger all time on PTR.
