Love the class. Hate the pet

Community General Discussion

I really like Survival, but depending so much on a pet is annoying. Switching target isn’t super convenient either. And the damn thing dies.

Thing is, even Marksman can’t do without. Yeah, 10% damage on lone wolf is nice, but you lose so much more for it.
Master’s call (mobility), Roar of sacrifice (major defensive), a mortal strike effect.

Survival is stuck with it because Kill Command and Coordinated assault require a pet.
I wish I could dismiss my pet and get all of the aforementioned benefits in another way.

If you want to play without a pet, roll a class without a pet or play a mm hunter

Blizzard literally designed classes with and without pets, and you say you want to play a pet class without a pet in a spec that needs a pet?

are you doing drugs?

Other classes don’t play the same, and don’t have access to the same toolkit.
Survival’s half melee, half ranged gameplay is completely unique.

Your comment isn’t flattering for your intellect and I’d like for you to get out of my thread.

Sounds very much like Death knight tho… plenty of ranged abilties there as well.

Not sure that’s how the forum works.

DKs are slow juggernauts with a big focus on just smashing the face of their target.
They don’t play at all like hunters do.

MM would be a joy if it was purely petless, with the pet talents baked into the spec.

All pet specs would.

Just dismiss your pet. Don’t let dps get in a way of your unique gameplay and toolkit.

Did he bring enough for the whole class?

Something unknown to a Demon Hunter, whose entirely spellbook is filled with spells stolen to other classes.

pets are like a huuuge part of pet specs. Without pets they’ll just be like lesser warriors and mages.

That said, wow’s pet gameplay is really, really clunky and is in quite dire need of an update.

Considering both lock and hunter are pure dps classes ,i don’t see reason why one of three spec shouldn’t be proper pet less spec.

This is hunter! He can’t be without pet, who will think instead of him?

I don’t know. Demon Hunters can’t use their brain, yet they don’t have pets and still manage to handle themselves pretty well I’d say.

Bring the pet and not the player !

I just wish they’d replace kill command with flanking strike as baseline and lower its cooldown. Never felt like kill command made much sense in survivals kit.

While survival should have a pet and fight alongside their pet, I agree that having kill command generate your resource is annoying and one of the reasons I won’t play survival even though I said in the past the spec itself is super fun.
