I doubt anyone from Blizz reads this, but..

There are better options.

Remove the spells like Blood Lust.

Add a 3-5% damage debuff to the hunter for having it out.

Or keep lone wolf as it is.

Many of us have been playing this class for years or decades (I have been playing since release in 2004) with this hunter as my first and main character. And my pet has been with me since day 1 and been there for every event and achievement I’ve had along the way.

Taking away the pet might as well be entirely removing the class for me and for many others.

Don’t tell me to play BM or SV. BM is nowhere near as engaging of gameplay for me. I’ve tried and do not have any fun playing BM. Bestial Wrath, barbed shot, kill command, repeat and weave in some cooldowns…. Boring. And I have a pally if I want to melee.

I enjoy playing MM. i did not like Sentinel Owl as a talent. Only used it as a heroic spec because it was all passives until you fixed Dark Ranger, which has a dire beast still. And not interested in some eagle thing doing whatever.

I want to keep my pet as MM and enjoy another 20 years of WoW like Chris said at Blizzcon last year. This makes me want to call it a career if it goes through.
