i love my hunter (dwarf with a bear) i like the look and the feel that i can just send my pet to bite you and when you turn around to hit it i shoot you in the @ss. this is why it is the most simple and one of the most popular class to play. however i think what they should do is completely remove the survival talent tree since nobody hardly uses it anyway. and make a tree that you can litteraly make your pet a Tank. i know beastmaster tree does make your pet powerfull to tank no but im talking about a TANK TANK like it could tank like a warrior for dungeons and even raids then you will have more of a varaiety with the hunter make it that like the hunter can litterly buy armor and weopons for there pets while the hunter instead of shooting it does spells to keep it alive and hold aggro that would be pretty awesome

ex Cobalt razor neck collar does xx amount of damage and has xx armor

swift fire paw braclet has xx damage and causes to make the target to additionly bleed for xx% and adds xx% threat to any attack

blade tail armor occasionaly knocks the target stunning him for xx% and causing xx additional threat *only works on scorpions, dinosaurs, tigers

Fang cap causes your pets bite to cause additional xx damage * works on tigers, wolfs, spiders

blizz can do so much with this class with a better talent tree other then servival and if you think about how the world of azeroth would be if you were a hunter and had a bear or a tiger wouldnt you give it some sort of armor wether it be to protect your pet or be able to cause more damage

The Cataclysm patch sounds interesting too. Hunter’s will get focus instead of mana and pets will no longer belong to a specific talent group – instead you’ll be able to pick the group you want. I’m looking forward to getting a cunning gorilla

I liked it when you actually had to capture pets, learn the higher ranked abilities from them then train your chosen pet with it… but that’s just me. The current system is okay, but it minimalizes the need to manage a pet.

I also named a hunter pet after my wife, it was a blue crab. What can I say? She was being crabby at the time…

All Tenacity pets (tanking pets) have thunderstomp now so it makes picking your choice of solo tanking pet (bear, crab, turtle, etc.) a lot more fun. I still retain that of all of my characters that my hunter is the most fun to level. I’m sure it has something to do with the synergy of the pets.

They certainly have made a lot of advances in streamlining pets and making them more interesting.

I always used that flying beast around Silvermoon as my pet with a Hunter! Nice dmg they do and I liked the fire breath! Woooo fire!
BTW nice hint of Nelson how to handle a pet! Used that passive mode too and worked out well…

It’s very cool. I was disappointed that my pet shrunk after I tamed it though. It’s more like a mini-Ravager now and not very scary

The Beastmaster in Everquest was good although a lot more basic. In that, each race got their own pet from level 1 and it leveled up and grew with them. I quite liked the fact that it got bigger and learnt more abilities although it’s still pretty basic compared to the Hunter’s pets in WoW.

The choice is fantastic and I admire Blizzard for going to so much trouble for just one class. It would’ve been easy to allow them to tame pets and stop there but the pet talent trees and differences between them all add a lot of strategy and fun to the class.

While hunters have a reputation in WoW for being “easy mode” they are probably the class I have had the most fun with. I loved the abilities they have, and the concept of having a pet(s) that grow along with you just rocks my socks off.
