Survival Hunters Going Forward

Now you see I was a big fan of the flexibility that was provided in WotLK with death knights, I feel like most classes should have then after been built somewhat around their model

First off we need some changes to address their issues and carve out more of a niche and address their issues

I’d propose for the time being to make mongoose bite base line and whack another talent in its place for the time being, as well as rebalancing tip of the spear
I’d add a passive to serpent sting to make pets auto attacks return a small amount of focus to make sure we are keeping SS up most the time and don’t drop it when we are at high stacks of goose bite and to steady out focus regen
I’d also make butchery base line with 2 charges, and the current talent boost it up to 3 charges to carve out a high AoE niche to compensate for the fact we are melee

For the long term changes I’d be wanting to rework the 45 talent tree
I would scrap all 3 talents and replace them with a talent for duel wield options; 2 handed options and a ranged option
The duel wield would focus on pet damage and cleave, 2 handed would focus on single target burst and ranged would be focused on dots by returning black arrow as the focus dump and increasing our ranged damage

I believe this could be done and balanced out pretty well

The ranged option of course would gain less AoE damage but would have decent multi dot

It could be done
