Since y’all are broken records. I’ll just requote myself.
A lot of players concerns, gripes, and complaints would never have existed if they had stated we got to keep our pets with the change.
It’s the fact that instead of letting us keep our pets, even after stating they are apart of the identity and should be apart of the MM Spec, They’re instead only providing Hunters this Generic Eagle.
It’s 100% laziness on Blizzards end. Why can’t the Generic Eagle #7, be my pet?

Still pretending to speak for the majority? lol
MM is a pet spec. It has a pet. It can use that pet. There’s no need to make it work like BM or SV because it’s a different spec from those.

I would have preferred no eagle as well.
I think that is something almost everyone can agree on lol.

Don’t worry, Rudolph will be gone in a few months 
It quite literally does not. The game does not revolve around any facet of the game.
Hunters can still do that.
If you want to bond with a beast of your choice, choose a beast-oriented spec.
Slippery Slope Fallacy.
Just having a thing doesn’t make it a thing.
Best example, again. Ghouls do not make blood or frost a pet class lol.

Thats not what makes a pet spec.
Specs like BM Demo and SV where the literal pet is part of the rotation and talents are what make a spec a pet spec.
MM is a spec with a pet
Why are you fighting this? You’ve literally posted the post from Blizzard stating MM is getting a pet, and it should and will be apart of their identity.
It’s like staring at a spoon, saying that’s not a spoon.

That’s exactly what makes it a thing. That’s like arguing that Hunters aren’t really a ranged class just because we primarily use ranged weapons.
Horrible bad example. Nobody is arguing that they’re pet specs. Try again with something approaching an actual honest attempt at discussion instead of rambling non sequiturs.
They should have done it without the eagle. But it’s still not a pet. It’s basically an arcane familiar now that drops by to drop utility.
Marksmanship lose their pet functionalities and it is instead joined in battle by a unique Eagle pet that will exist outside of the game space but continue to support you in combat in a uniquely Marksmanship way."

You literally bolded words 3 words after it states “Unique Eagle Pet.”
The Pen is rrree… The Pen is reeeee… THE PEN I HOLD IN MY HAND IS … ROYAAALLL BLUE.
As somebody who actually is a MM Hunter main, I’d just like to point out that Misdirect works on your Party Tank (Focus and Macro), Exhiliration does not require you to actually have a pet out. And Feign death works find without a pet. Camo is the same.
The No Hard Feelings never gets picked because, well, I don’t use a Pet. So that’s actually one LESS talent I need to mess with. And if I do use a pet (when delving solo) frankly, the content is so trivial that I would still not bother using that Talent.

I did not link misdirect. I linked the talent that specifically affects pets with misdirect.
I also explicitly stated that Exhilaration USED to give more health if you did not have a pet out, specifically for Marksman using Lone Wolf. They removed that because marksman got the ability to use pets back shortly after iut was taken away in WoD.
Good for you. It’s still a talent available to Marksman.
It’s not. That is a disingenuous tangent. The one thing that pretty much ANY genre can agree on is hunters and ranged weapons lol.
You are completely just wrong on this point.
That’s what you’ve been doing this entire time…
I’d say you first, but I feel like you’d get lost in another disingenuous tangent.
Like even blizzard agrees. They say hunters are defined by their pets then immediately state that mm has stood in defiance of that.

Feign Death can be used to reset a mob back onto your pet instead of just resetting the mob entirely. It comes in handy with mobs that your pet can’t taunt and you generate threat faster than MD can come back off cooldown.
