In general, it’s better when spammed spells either push another resource forward (e.g. Another missing part is giving Cobra Shot a reason to exist outside of Bestial Wrath with Killer Cobra. Adding a 2nd charge to Dire Frenzy went a long ways, because I think the future of BM in 8.0 will be Dire Frenzy baseline, with the gameplay of maintaining Dire Frenzy stacks being one of the core parts of the rotation. I think BM Hunters aren’t far from being in a good place. With the power of Battle Rez (Quilen) and Bloodlust (Core Hound), I don’t think I’ve used a different pet on my BM Hunter alt in PvE in a long time. We don’t have any solid plans currently, but I fully agree that we’re not in a great place right now.

I call my pet when I'm really in trouble, or just when I'm out for a stroll in the world.įirst Question, is there any plan to update Hunter pets? My second question is, what is the future of BM Hunters? Honestly I really like your suggestion because it maintains the spec's identity while allowing us to still go into the ranger direction. Looking back, I think that losing the pet completely from the spec probably feels like a bridge too far for hunters, even though there is definitely space for the Legolas/Robin Hood archetype in our favorite gun and bow slingers. Beastmaster however landed in a place of having ALLTHEPETS! so the core ranged hunter with a pet was lost in the shuffle and thus Lone Wolf was brought back. Marksmanship during Legion almost made it to live completely pet-less, as a way to separate their identity more into ranger/sniper so that Beastmaster could have more heft as the ranged pet spec. This would free up the first talent row to have a meaningful choice instead of every MM Hunter picking Lone Wolf. Is there any chance of Lone Wolf being made base-line and changed to how it worked in WoD? You can use a pet at any time, but you lose the buff while your pet is out.
