I miss my old Surival hunter with Black Arrow and old Lock&Load+Explosive Shot so much ÇÇ Also BM talents looks a bit boring... i wonder why they choose to make Survi melee when it was a very cool and unique spec instead of making BM the Melee one. Fighting in melee with your double big fat pet would ve been much cooler :(
I would like getting the old ranged survival spec from MoP back. The old SV spec was focused on elemental ranged DPS with poison, explosive and arcane damage, which distinguished it from MM doing mostly physical DPS, and it was fun to play.
Ok, but why not though?
They're not gonna make survival ranged and invalidate all the survival-only polearm transmogs people farmed in Legion guys.
I would like to see option for survival hunter to change his melee attacks to throwing attack, something like "Aspect of the Eagle", but pernament with maybe shorter range (30 yards ?). Then we will have hunter who throwing his spear and this is what i am missing and it was allready in warcraft world, throwing weapons ... Also it fits well for survival hunter, someone who throw his spear from the range.
I'd like a no-pet subspec for survival
I've always wondered why they didn't make beast master a melee spec. For me beast master is more of the D&D fantasy, charging in with your pets adopting abilities based off animals, survival having more tactful ranged abilities.
I genuinely dont get why people complain so much about SV melee, I played cata and MoP too.. it was fun, for sure, but melee SV is also super fun, specially now given how strong it is... it just plays different from any other melee and thats what makes it so unique
@Blizzard : Looking at the 3 hunter spec trees and the class tree, it looks lazy when I compare it to other classes like rogue or shaman. I would start from scratch.Also, why are you so hell bound on Survival being melee ? no one asked for it and even by now only a handful wants it. People only play it atm in M+ because it does a lot of damage. After the planned nerfs for S4 come in, it will be a dead spec once more. Why not use DF talent trees to give players what they asked for since Legion. Left route down the tree is ranged Survival , right side melee. Why not give players the choice ? You have shown recently that you try to listen to feedback. Why not here ?
I am surprised with what Blizz are doing with Dragon Flight.. That they have not gone back to when hunters had both a ranged and a melee weapon..

Implying survival isn't ranged already? Have any of the devs seen PvP, arena? Surv is always at range they don't need melee range to do damage :S
I miss Legion's Survival, a true melee class.Don't really enjoy this hybrid spec. More often then not I end up pulling something because I accidentally throw a bomb one millisecond after the target died because for no reason at all the bomb automatically grabs a random target D=
Melee SV has been one of, if not the, most under represented specs in the game throughout its entire lifespan. It's time to admit the experiment failed, people have no interest in this spec and want the proper ranged SV back.
