Yes aspects, mostly that aspect of the cheetah that i miss seeing people getting dazed instead of speeding up to run, was quite fun to watch lol You even touched the subject of one of my favorite expansions, WoTLk was great and was when i stayed playing the most, before Legion and i felt like coming to the game 24/7. I will always have a certain love for tree talents because of WoTLK and hunter in that time too. And how many macros i used for hunter. And yep on a place full of cold that is northrend you CAN TELL that my fantasy of loving nordic stuff was fulfilled but unfortunately now there's nothing more related to it.

Or that too could be done, i just don't see why a beast master needs to have only 2 archer spells. Basically only Chimaera shot to gain focus and Serpent sting. But you barely see the player there reflected, you even open the meters and see on top "beast" damage. I feel like i'm playing my pet more than i have a companionship and work with them in order to bring an enemy down.
I see your reasoning. And it's obviously not wrong too. Reason why we have Camouflage as survival because of stealthing and hiding. And yes. Totally see it, but then make BM not just about commanding pets, you know what i mean? Make a proper long live companionship with true archer or gun slayer that has not the components of a survival and needs a pet to help it out.
I accept your judgement but at same time i don't think the hunter class spec fantasy would be broken, the backlash being immediate and devastating i can see that as many people don't like sudden changes, i think it would give balance to hotfixes and more.
So in your idea, what could be done exactly to make the 3 specs more interesting as a whole class, like, what would be the synergy that would work the best as specializations for a Hunter, imagine survival, BM and MM didn't exist, you just had this hunter idea, what specializations you would think about?
(For me i would do a mix, as i expressed myself.)
