Look how simple it is to give Dark Rangers fans some love:

[Fantazma]

Notes:
As you can see the "Dark Ranger" Talent is in the last place in the last row. It's there on purpose so those who don't want that class fantasy (and the benefits the talent grants) can easily dodge and still be able to choose the "Legacy of the Windrunner" and "Wailing Arrow" talents.

Note that the "Dark Ranger" talent only changes Nature damage to shadow damage (similar to the rogue subtlet's new talent: "Dark Brew").
Also, the speed boost benefit is 14% to perfectly synergize with the Hunter's "Agile Movement" talent which once full grants us 6% speed. Adding "Dark Ranger" with "Agile Movement" we have a perfect 20% speed (like rogues and other classes).

It is worth mentioning that the "Dark Ranger" talent does not make the Hunter MM overpowered by granting 2 additional talents, after all, these two talents replace other 2 similar talents from the Hunter Baseline.

So... the "Dark Ranger" talent is fair and fulfills the role of giving Hunters the full Dark Ranger class fantasy without undermining the choices of other Hunters.

p.s: To make it easier to deploy the talent without having to juggle the points allotted for this area of ​​the talent tree, the "Wainling Arrow" talent has been transformed into a 3-rank talent.

Personal Note: Check this out... I'm not asking for an entire class of Dark Rangers and not an entire spec just for Dark Rangers. Well, the devs just need to change 1 single talent in the MM tree and (added to the recent DR skins they gave us) the Dark Rangers enthusiastic Hunter would finally have everything to play with this class fantasy.

Ye would love that. Doesnt seem to much effort either.

Shame its the same as gladiator stance and I thought they didnt like the spec into spec thing.

[xero5141]

I think it hasn't/might not be done because they don't want to, it's got nothing to do with the effort required.

[Triceron]

I wouldn't be opposed to this, but I doubt Blizzard would consider it too. To them, Dark Ranger is merely a racial title for Undead Elf Hunters.

[SinR]

Just Stop. Please. You're going to hurt yourself.

[Rendark]

They still wouldn't be happy because it doesn't say Dark Ranger when they look at their class.

[SinR]

They still wouldn't be happy because it doesn't say Dark Ranger when they look at their class.

And because its not Sylvanas.

[Rozz]

I'd be okay with talent trees actually giving you more choice in this way versus "So..do you want to waste points on a silence you have to get or not? lmfao"

[Celvira]

Tying customization to talents can get problematic if the cosmetic talent in question launches in a very powerful/overly weak state. I'd rather they give us more options to alter our class thematically via methods such as class trainers. For example, if you are a Paladin, you can visit a trainer to replace the "golden" glow of your holy abilities with a silver glow (matching several Paladin artwork and in-game sets such as Judgement armor, in addition for future-proofing for NE Paladins) or with a fiery, orange glow to represent Tauren Sunwalkers.

Very cool. I hope Blizzard takes this one step further where these 'hero' talents become a huge trade-off where a player had to give up certain abilities in exchange for new ones.

[Unlimited Power]

Doesn't seem well thought-out to replace a rotational ability, Steady Shot, with a 15sec CD that doesn't even generate any focus. You're gonna find your new "Dark Ranger" to be very auto-attack focused real quick.

And much like I don't think 2H enhancement should be a talent, I disagree that Blizzard should even entertain the thought of placating Dark Ranger fans further. You're frankly already more annoying than Tinker fans.

Thanks bro. It took a bit of work to make this art but the intention (other than what some claim) is to show everyone how a Blizz developer can solve this old request of many Dark Rangers enthusiasts.. just by changing a single Hunter MM talent.

With the new DR skins we've been given recently and maybe 1 glyph that (why not?) turns the "aspect of the turtle" into a black smoke around the Hunter and 1 glyph that turns "Disengage" into a teleport.... the fantasy of a Hunter being able to feel like a real Dark Ranger would be complete and no one (including me) would be in the forums every eve of major patch or expansion asking for this class/spec.

[Echocho]

Uhm, didn't we just get dark Rangers as a cosmetic option for hunters???

[SinR]

Uhm, didn't we just get dark Rangers as a cosmetic option for hunters???

not only a Tmog for *ALL* hunters, but a special skin tone and eye option for Nelfs, Belfs, and Velfs.

But, its not good enough, not until Blizzard gives us a class named "Dark Ranger" that's a Sylvanas Clone

[froschhure]

while i like the cocept about hunters going into "dark ranger mode" ... the skills are just OP

[SinR]

"I'M MORBING OUT"

Random Belf Hunter trying to be Sylvanas

[Val the Moofia Boss]

Just give us class skins but evidently Blizzard can't be bothered to put in a modicum of effort.

[Utrrabbit]

GET OVER IT.

They do not want the shitty dark ranger to be a thing.

People who want 2hd enhancement to be a thing is cause they want it to be either like it was in vanilla, or how it was in wrath; when WF hit harder with a 2hd.

[SinR]

Meanwhile in some alternate universe there's someone asking Blizzard for Sunwalkers.

Not Tauren Paladins. Tauren Sunwalkers. With all the Paladin stuff renamed and redone to the Sunwalker aesthetic.

Well done, for whole 5 seconds i was under impression that maybe someone at Blizz HQ ****** **** *** started actual work, but then i realised that its fan made.
