Given hunters can STILL actually equip two 1H weapons, at what point are they going to finally just give in and let hunters have this “look” at the very least, if not actually be able to equip two 1H weapons? It needs to happen. Hunters with spears just feels odd.

Meanwhile my BrM Monk can use his two WW fist weapon mogs, while still being BrM.
Or vice-versa.
It’s unfair lol.
Especially because hunters can and would actually dual wield back in like Vanilla-Wrath and stuff.

Right now I can equip two 1H axes and go fight stuff. I can’t use half of my skills, but I can do it. I remember once during DF I actually did a heroic dungeon DW for giggles, I was way-overgeared for the run as was the group, but I could do it. Just have like 4 attacks possible out of the full kit.
It’s silly and frankly ridiculous. Balancing issues are experienced by several classes, equipment drop scarcity is hardly an issue, and even then only at CE type levels.

Back in Legion there was a 1h polearm (Spear of Rethu) that was bugged, and it was actually fun having two weapons and having your skills work alongside it for SV.
Ofc it was hotfixed later lol.

Hunters used to dual wield. It created a problem when it came to getting gear and hunters needing on everything that dropped. Hunters use a handful of weapons and they don’t need to have one in each hand. I’m hoping they don’t go back on that pattern because it’s kind of nice having characters who can get gear because there’s a hunter in the group who can’t need on it.
The gear you would worry about a hunter getting in this scenario:
- 1H Axe - AGI
- 1H Sword - AGI
- 1H Fist (maybe?) - AGI
That’s it. So if you have an enhance sham, DH (either spec), monk (WW or BW), or Outlaw Rogue, you would also have competition. You could theoretically add daggers to the list, which I guess could impact Sub and Sin, who literally have zero comp.
But ignoring daggers, that’s still 6 other specs already in the game you would compete with. One more is making that big of an impact? Really? I don’t think so.
And of course, this is ignoring that beyond high end raiding, you are making a crafted 1H anyway for one of the two slots.
And while that makes sense to you and me, how many people out there play hunters, and simply won’t care? 
they moved away from that system for a reason and took away that ability. I think I would rather just let that sleeping dog lie.
What?
This doesn’t make sense.
