Survival Hunter appreciation from a new player

Sup people! New player here. 1 or 2 month’s old account, more or less.

I often used to think that the ranger/hunter archetpe in mmos was extremely boring. Different strokes and all that, but it never really spoke to me.

Then i read about the hunter specs in wow, since i like pets and i heard hunters could stealth.
They actually wield a spear (well polearm, but still) which is my favourite medieval weapon, they have a chain to pull themselves to the enemy, they can stealth, they can lay traps, and pretty much ambush people in tandem with their pets.

Mind.Blown.
This is literaly the coolest thing ever and i dont think i ever saw something similar in other games.
You can fight in melee with the ranger in gw2, but its dreadfully dull.

So i love everything about the spec. that’s well established.
I got to 80 and saw it absolutely explode people’s faces in open world pvp, i saw it do great damage in dungeons and more importantly, it feels FUN.

Then i check the hunter forums and see people bashing SV for being melee and singing the praises of hunter back in Cata.

SV feels unique, feels fun, and makes your feel like a bad**s!

I saw that we got a couple of nerfs, but im still ambushing people and blowing things up.
How come this is the least talked about hunter spec? whenever i see someone talking about SV, its to bash it.
I genuinly think its perhaps the most fun class in WoW.

Pointless tread i know. Just wanted to show appreciation to the spec and debue myself in the forums. lol

Cheers
