I’m typically against looking people up and using data against them but if you’re going to talk down to the community like that then you’re going to go need to iron out your mechanics lol
The entire class basically ran on this fantasy until Blizzard, at the behest of the community, optimized the fun out of the game.
Granted, the ammo itself wasnt magical (except when crafted of magical metals) but you definitely had to keep ammo, and often imbue said ammo with magic, poison or explosive properties through spec or class abilities/spells.
Its funny, how you think the entire hunter class fantasy prior to removing ammo was goofy, and yet you think RSV was somehow immune to said goofiness.
Explain how? Your words were “the thousands of resto druids who lost their true tree forms”. It was a cosmetic look and that what this tome does brings back the appearance of a Treant.
If you want to still look like a walking tree you still can. The argument would have worked if you had mentioned Demo locks and metamorphosis as they lost that for good.
it was actual class identify removed for a talent option. A cosmetic doesn’t rescue that. The glyph doesn’t even do the same thing the original form did. You lost this one already homie. Like, no point in going further than this because anything else you spew out will just be squirming to attempt at a point.
There’s a big difference between extracting venom from a creature or mixing together/attaching an explosive to an arrow or bullet vs. learning how to harness the magical elements, on a level that allows you to infuse said magic into an object, in a way that makes it potent to harm/Kill something. Especially if you count for the fact that it would, for us Hunters, require doing this with multiple different schools of magic, not just one.
I doubt it, the more likely scenario is that someone who do in fact know about the properties of unholy magic, could have figured out how to extract said magic from an arrow left by a Dark Ranger on a battlefield(this is just an example). They have then lended their services to any hunter who wishes to make use of that type of magic, or parts of it at least.
I’m not saying that you can’t make the fantasy of hunters involve magic, in the way you said. I’m saying that, based on what we’ve seen so far, regarding the history of the class and any lore tied to it, the later scenario is the less likely one.
Anyway, you also have the fact that, if you were to somehow bring the mechanical elements of RSV back, but repurpose them in the style of the Dark Ranger-fantasy, then you wouldn’t have RSV anymore. The theme and fantasy of RSV was to be a munitions expert and trapper. Not a Dark Ranger.
