Love to see Survival.
I’m afraid for Survival and its popularity. Devourer is coming to steal more popularity and some of its niche.
What can Survival do? What can WoW do? 2 more expansions in view, and power creep is creeping. I think I have an idea. We can’t keep adding to talent trees. I think this idea can help the game and Survival Hunters specifically.
Please bring back the item slot we used to have. Tomes, Librams, Grimoires, Quivers, and throwing weapons.
For hunters specifically, Beastmaster and Marksman would have a quiver slot. They don’t need ammo it is just an item slot to enhance your spec. Survival would get throwing spears. Maybe rogues get throwing knives and warriors get throwing axes.
Survival can get rid of bombs that don’t fit the spec identity at all and are responsible for breaking combos or being an unpowerful finisher of combos. Bombs and having to use them always contribute to the feeling of spinning plates, but they aren’t considered nukes either. Bombs are why we can’t have any burst.
Bring Survival closer to Rexxar. Maybe have a dedicated companion like Misha is for Rexxar. Perhaps the dedicated companion you choose can affect your playstyle. Misha is a bear so maybe they can add a couple other relevant permanent companions to fill out different DPS niches.
Double down on spears. Stab with spears. Throw the spears. Use traps like bringing caltrops back. Be a hunter. Where did bombs come from?
We aren’t interesting.
Well, interesting to me, but not everyone else.
