They need to design fights with different mechanics for melee and ranged, but they consistently either give melee the same mechanics as ranged or just have melee get no mechanics, neither of which is ideal. This is one of the most melee friendly tiers they've had in years and it's still skewed. Blizzard keeps saying they know this is a problem, and yet continually tier after tier they release bosses that are melee-hostile. Survival could print out a five dollar bill every time you kill a boss and it would still be the wrong choice, because it's against two ranged specs, and that's that. There are 150 Survival hunters to 4000 BM hunters even though all three hunter specs are underperforming to a pretty comparable degree, especially accounting for "better players play the better spec" favoritism that would push Survival lower. And there are more Boomkins than all three Rogues combined, despite all three Rogues taking up the top slots. Like, if we look at 95% Guardian parses, we can see that even though Feral is the 4th best spec, it has a tenth of the parses of Boomkin. Rogue also suffers to a lesser degree since it has no specific raid utility that wedges it into a raid comp. Even when they do the most damage on paper, they're still simply the wrong choice against their ranged alternatives. Survival, Enhancement, and Feral are all in the same boat. It's a victim of a core Blizzard design issue, which is that (mainly in raids, but sometimes elsewhere) ranged is just better than melee. figured id reach out to reddit since this and the wow forums tend to be different communities. i posted this on the WoW forum and was met with mostly people just saying survival is stupid and that it should be removed, frankly there was no good discussion. What do you guys think? has blizzard removed something like this before (other than ranged survival? Am I safe to enjoy survival and stop worrying?Īgain, please enjoy your weekend and I wish you good luck on mount drops (idk if i made that clear enough sorry)īut I feel like thats just me trying to rationalize why I think survival melee should stay and im not sure if thats fair, i just really like it and would probably reluctantly quit if it was removed. The combat style stays the same with BM and MM so it isnt much of a leap, for example if survival was remade now back to ranged, there would be no place for survival hunters to go to in the BM and MM specs.Ranged survival hunter playstyle didnt differ enough from the other specs.Is it fair for me then, to request that melee stay and those players lose their playstyles? Frankly im not sure, ive tried to rationalize it with the following points: On the contrary though, it would be hypocritical of me not to mention the fact that there were probably people who really enjoyed survival spec when it was ranged and that was swiped away from them. I know its silly but its always in the back of mind when i play, maybe im just reading the forums way to much. What makes me scared is that so many people want it to be removed and im worried that one day blizzard will revert Surv hunter to a ranged spec. Surv hunter happens to be my favorite spec and class in the game, im a casual player so idc if its meta or what i just like to slash stuff in melee with my pet by my side.Īnyway, seeing all the negativity towards my favorite playstyle definitely stinks, but its fair that other players dont like it, as it is quite different then the other hunter playstyles. I see lots of people complaining and asking for the removal of Survival Hunter.
