And then they played it too safe and we got DF, which was very bland and forgettable.
Make survival Hunter great again.

Isn’t it S tier in arena brackets?
Talking the WotLK version with Black Arrow etc. I don’t know why we even needed another melee class when the game is already saturated with melee classes.
Because it’s more difficult to have 3 different ranged specs for a bow/gun user that feels different from each other.
Case in point, the MM rework that is being proposed.
I’m on the record as wanting MM pets to remain, because if we are going to have a pet, let us choose which one we want! And yes, to the haters, most of my hunters are MM, and all who are use pets except in the most trivial of content! I have a BM but I honestly don’t like playing her, the attacks seem pretty squishy after playing MM so much.

BM pet damage, MM heavy hitting physical range damage, Survival dotting magic damage. I see similarities 
If anything BM should have been melee fighting side by side with pets and survival should have been ranged live lord. The amount of melee specs heavily out weighs ranged.

Yeah, the specs have always had entirely different attitudes to their pets. For BM the pets are the real star of the show. Your abilities are to direct and empower them. You give direct commands to them. Your barbed shot serves to boost their damage. For MM it’s all about the hunter, and the pet is your support. They distract your quarry while you line up the shot.
I think that’s another thing that bugs me so much about the proposed changes. Having abilities that amount to you commanding the eagle - that’s some BM stuff! That’s the spec it would make sense to have a spotter eagle for!

I am looking forward to the changes, finally some archery up in this Hunter class.
As for everyone else trying to derail this and make it about something else, you got plenty of other threads to be upset in.
Edit -
Absolutely.
Interesting you made over 5 threads about this change

I’m psyched!
how is this a “semi-official thread”?
semi-official implies that blizzard is, at least, partially involved.
this is merely an unofficial support thread, right?

I guess since there’s not many people clamouring to support the proposed changes they have a pretty decent claim to it

I don’t know much about playing hunters, but I know how Blizzard does things. So I disagree on that basis, and doubly so because skimming the OP, I feel like I would never agree with someone seeking a Safe Space on GD.
Tldr: No.

Back when Blizzard changed Survival to a melee class they were going to pull pets from Marksmanship. Did not care then. Have not used a pet anyway. Do not care now. Just my personal opinion on the issue.
I have had a MM hunter for 20 years who always has a pet. Do not force us to lose our beloved pets just because some elitist got a bug up their bum and decided we all have to play Lone Wolf. I hate lone wolf. If you want a 100 percent petless hunter, make a seperate Ranger class or spec. Stop messing with MM hunters. A lot of us want to keep our pets, so at least make that an option, rather than force ‘no pets allowed’ on us.

Speaking of which, why was there not a crafted bow this expansion?
