They are ruining marksmanship because of M+ players

First of all, raid bosses never target pets. They don’t even respond to pet threat or taunt anymore.

Secondly, that wouldn’t be an MM issue, that would be a pet class issue and would be a problem with Warlocks as well.

Third, I’ve never seen that happen in a raid.

Queen goes right to pets on phase3 immediately because pets keep their threat from p1 while players lose their threat.
Play the game and you’d know that.

Not an issue normally but can be a huge issue in heroic because idiots manage to get into those. Raid finder ver doesnt even have the add explosions from infest.

Only an issue with hunter pets because warlock pets despawn instead of teleporting around in phase changes. Also because noone raids demo. People still raid BM because it can do good damage in phases where people normally arent doing damage.

I’ve done queen plenty of time and never seen that.

It can be fixed by tanks forcing taunt in P3, but does happen if they don’t.

They do in freak events. One such event happened on one of my AotC attempts; a Warlock pet took aggro from Queen because nothing else was in range for her in the final phase - and she applied one of her mechanics to it, which wiped us.

To your point, of course, this was a pet issue. Not a MM issue.

They are removing pet from MM because having a pet on a spec completely changes the balance\gameplay of a spec. So instead of being a pure ranger with mobility and lots of ways to get away you play as a turret with a pet taunting.

Its a boring gameplay and the one reason why people are complaining about the removal of a pet is because MM does not have a great kit for solo content without a pet to tank which will finally be looked out now that it isnt shoe horned into using a pet in solo content. Pet and all its keybinds required for it will finally be gone and we can have some new abilities for an actual ranger spec rather than a BM hunter but instead of kill command we have aimshot.

They could have just gave us choice of which pet buff we want to have for run and problem solved. But as always blizzard choses nuclear option that will divide player base further :face_exhaling:

It doesn’t change “completely” they are removing because people doing M+ were whining about summoning a pet to lust and dismiss it.

aren’t the pro-pet camp whining about not having a pet to tank world mobs? seem like both sides are just whining :wink:

You think its not a huge change to have no pet in solo challenging content on hunter? Its a huge rework and i wouldnt be surprised if more changes are coming due to this change. People are so use to having a pet tank for them while they afk that they dont even know how to kite or survive without it.

Blame M+ people all you want, if it was only for a small minority of people they would of just added it to lone wolf but they didnt they redesigned the spec so pet micromanagement isnt a thing.

Its more than just world mobs, but i doubt you do any other kind of content, so you would not know.

the pet is part of their kit, they are using the pet - a tool their class given to then - to survive, why would they not use it? LOL

If they want to make things harder on purpose, well they can do that already

Thats because its blizzard, they always take some minor thing and blow out of proportions like this trying to reshape MM “identity” completely by making totally different from what it used to be, just to say they are “seriously working” on it

world content means nothing, you can solo anything in world content. the only thing remotely challenging solo is mage tower and casuals think its overtuned.

this is the same issue as outlaw rogues complaining about vanish reseting mobs in world content, it doesnt matter cause you dont need to press vanish you can just blast any button and win.

It doesn’t for you, i’m sure it does for others, nevertheless, i straight up said it wasn’t just that, so going back at it again as a nitpick is pointless

Nope, isnt the same, at all.

Well, maybe when they remove vanish from outlaw, cause someday blizzard wake up trying to define outlaw fantasy as pirates so they remove it

and it would be fine? most outlaw players would not care whether or not vanish lives or dies

it doesnt in general, world content is so trivial that you can have the worst build and be naked and still be able to do it

Would be? for you maybe? its weird that you think everyone should be fine with something just because you are, especially when options existed before.

For you yeah.

Already said is not just that

And some are so smug and insulting that they miss the mark; we might not know how to kite without the pet, but MM is not going AFK

Peet micromanagement? we are MM not BM, if we wanted to micromanage our pet, we would spec BM

what content do you think a pet is useful for mm

Literally all of it with the exception of M+ and raid

you dont need a pet for delves. world content is a meme.

what other content is there

Absolutely clueless, cant you imagine anything else? lol
