    This because players would moan about their beloved BM changing too drastically, it also wouldn't be called BM but wildstalker or something.

    Uninterrupted attacks and no restriction on movement in combat? Sounds like a melee to me.

    It's abilties would obviously have the standard hack-n slash and hunter-traps and disengage but what if some abilties changed on the type of pet it had out or even buff the pet/player.

    I would have suggested Dire Beast if it wasn't already in-game it could fit so well for BM-melee only.
    Honestly I think the only way BM would be fair is if it were melee as it stands now in PVP BM plows most specs it is pretty ridiculous. Making it a dual wield spec would also help itemize better for shamans, death knights, and rogues.

    Wasn't angry (trust me, I'd get banned if I posted when angry), just making the point that for every person who is like 'omg make BM a melee spec!' or 'zomg locks should totally get a tank spec rofl' there is someone like me who likes her classes/specs as they are.

    Discussions about new specs/etc are always interesting, for sure, but you risk people getting up in arms when you make topics like this that suggests reinvention as extreme as 'BM as a melee spec'. Even if what you're actually suggesting is more of a 4th spec.

    Not sure how melee hunter gear would help better itemize for DKs, who use STR items.

    Why would you want a melee hunter? Wouldn't that be a rogue or monk? Petless ranged I can relate to, that's still a hunter, but melee? No.

    Also, if you want that, invent a fourth spec, because completely altering an existing spec that people like to play as it is now, would be... well... how can you even consider it?

    It isn't 'moaning' - its a more than reasonable reaction to a pointless change.

    Imagine if you play an assassination rogue. You love it, its the only spec you'll ever love. Suddenly someone posts a topic that says 'Assass rogues as ranged dagger-tossers!'

    The spec you love best in WoW, according to this person, should be changed from a badass killer-in-the-shadows to someone who stays 30 yards back hurling knives. Yeah, I think you'd scratch your head a bit at that.

    I agree with this guy since my main has been a destro lock for years and being petless is amazing.

    To you maybe, to me BM always was a melee hunter.

    Keep BM as a pure pet spec. Make MM pet-less. Keep survival the same.

    It never was. It is THE ranged hunter by definition, as your pet is the strongest of all and perfect to keep baddies at range. If anything, it's survival spec that was melee.

    Because you think the first appearance of a beastmaster in warcraft universe was in WoW?

    It was melee in Warcraft 3 and it should have stayed that way.

    There will be another class using ranged weapons in the future.
    I don't like the idea, so i prefer that other class gets the melee spec.

    Well that goes on an even bigger issue, where they should get rid of Main stats on weapons and just give attack power, or spell power to compensate for the stat so items can be more widely used.

    Another vote for making MM pet-free.

    if we ever get a Rexxar type of beastmaster my Money would be on a hunter spec. It would take a lot of thinking into making it so I'm not sure Blizz would do it but the hunter class is, imo, the only class that can host this type of pllaystyle. Not warriors as some people have mentioned.

    Oh cmon m8 =P. wouldn't you prefer a Ranger class where the pet is already non existent? I know that a pet in MM is almost useless but at least you got that extra bit of damage and utility IF u want =/.

    It could be done, but I don't think Blizz has the stomach to bring back Raptor Strike.

    You say no offense... and then say something offensive. Interesting.

    OT: I always liked the idea of Rexxar (especially since Worgen can't be monks), I'd love to have my hunter get in touch with his primal side and hunt alongside his pet.

    If it really wanted to be a beast master spec, though, I would have liked to have two permanent pets and fewer hunter abilities.

    The hunter would have some attacks of his own, but would focus more on commanding his beasts to attack like a pack leader.

    I think its a nice idea but might be a bit too much to ask. What about all the BM hunters who like the way things are? should they just pick something else? DKs had to face some of that and a lot of people are still asking for it to go back.

    As far as 4th spec goes I think thats going to be a druid thing for the foreseeable future.

    How is anything she said remotely offensive?
