But forcing MM to not have the utility of a pet through having a passive increase in damage for being petless severely limits the ability of the spec to participate in many activities. Soloing, PVP, and even some PVE, especially in 10m raiding, have great benefits from pet utility. Making it a talent doesn't penalize MM unfairly in these situations, while giving people who want to go petless that option assuming the task they want to do allows them to do so efficiently.

Finally...No more dumb ass pets with retarded AI... WIN WIN
Agreed, I think a pet fits the survival archetype well, they need to do something more unique with it for them.IMO, a huge change like not having a pet should only be available for one spec for the sake of spec homogenization. There are plenty of other ways to make a talent an interesting choice. My ideal spec make up BM: 50% pet damage, SV: 25% pet damage, MM: No pet.
well, you could still take 10 members if thats all you have :P

we should be moving away from spec homogenization, they moved warlocks away from it in MoP, but hunters seem to have been forgotten, rpbably got the most homogeneous specs in the whole game.
wtf is the reason no one is showing hunter talents?
Nice... always wanted to play without a pet, but I doubt it will be worth for me losing Roar of Sacrifice.
Personally, if someone wants to play a petless spec, I say let him/her. I will not, but I won't belittle the choice itself.
Also, as a personal observation, I see Survival as being better suited to the 'theme' of being petless. It may not be the best example available, but I envision the original Rambo movie in which he was alone with just a bow and arrow (before acquiring guns) to work with for defense. For the sake of Warcraft, add the ability to use traps with increased damage/duration efficiency and.. I think it could work. I wouldn't play it, myself, as I prefer having a pet. If someone else doesn't want a pet, that's his/her choice.

i see survival as a pet spec more than MM, Survival to me sounds more like a lone hunter out in the wild, hunting for food with his trusty tiger, whereas Marksman sounds more like a ranger you would see defending a town, or in an army, no command over beasts, but a good shot with a bow.
