Hmm...as a long-time hunter player, the only time I can remember melee as being a real part of their "class fantasy" was Rexxar. And that's more of the fantasy of Rexxar than the class itself. Melee hunters in WoW were always a joke. I don't really understand why they thought Hunter players wanted a melee spec, or why the game needed yet ANOTHER melee spec in the mix. Although more often these days I think Blizzard just tries too hard to retcon bad ideas. They've always made decisions that seemed out of touch with the playerbase.
But I see your point. And I agree that there are some redundant specs out there. I'd love it if Blizzard moved out of the entire Class-Based system entirely, and switched every skill in the game to one massive Artifact unlock tree like Path of Exile. I guess that wouldn't really fit the game very well, though. Oh well...Wishlist for WoW2.

I wouldn't say she ALWAYS wins. But often enough that I respect it too. That's what happens when you base on facts.
