Yet another survival rant, but with suggestions

[Vladicek-982357 (Vladicek)]

So firstly, when I was finishing TWW and trying new classes, I decided to play Surv in the next patch. I really liked the class fantasy, especially melee sync with the pet. But when I saw Boomstick, Butchery and FotE gone I was like WTF ? What have you Blizzard done ? Butchery was the spell I really liked to press and FotE was a nice little cooldown. But now ?

Boomstick is totally out of the place, I am still not sold on grenades and raptor swipe feels weird to me. Who thought a Sentinel running around with molotovs and shotgun was a good idea ?

In order to really have an actual melee hunter fighting in sync with his bonded pet I propose:

• Butchery instead of Grenades with its bleed effect. Bleeds increase pet attack speed.
• FotE instead of Boomstick, obvious for me.
• I dont mind having a Surv version of Thrash and Beast Cleave instead of this fire pitch molotov spell.

I think these minimal changes would really improved the gameplay and make it more enjoyable.

Oh, I play BM now.

Yeah, honestly I have no idea what blizzard was thinking with when they made boomstick it just interrupts the flow, but really you picked BM instead?

BM is so much worse gameplay wise BM frequently runs out of buttons / focus, and you just have to stand there making dial up noises until you can play the game again.

SV has none of those issues while the damage is low at least it flows well and SV can both do ST and AOE without loosing out massively granted the SV damage is pretty bad

Well I can say that I seriously dislike dumbstick.

Hatchet toss is useless and doesn’t do anything. They could have made it the new killshot and let it do some dmg.

The playstyle with dumbstick is boring me. FotE was 10x better and looked good in stead of the stupid looking shotgun.

Gutting all the traps as a hunter is also stupid.
