This is not a QQ thread about how bad hunters are. I've done my share of those. This is a suggestion I thought of today looking at my stable.
So I don't know if anyone has posted this before, but here goes.
I dont like that exotic pets are BM only. I realize that Blizz did that to make BM feel special, but really all it does is limit the pets a spec can use, even BM, and make you have a stable full of useless pets that can't be moved if you drop BM all together.
So I was thinking, now that they have a system, where non exotic pets have a non exotic ability, like a buff, or something non damaging, and exotics have an extra ability, why not expand on that.
I think that ALL pets should have exotic and non exotic abilites. And as BM you would be able to you would be able to use the exotic ability. Take a current pet, like the worm. If i remember, it has the 4$ physical damage buff. As MM or SV you could use the worm, and that would be its abilty. As BM, you would still have that, and slo get the burrow aoe attack it currently has.
This would accomplish the goal of making BM feel its pet's are special, and even bring more utility to the spec. Currently, there is almost no reason to use non exotic pets as BM.
No some obstacles are just creative, non balace ones IMO. Like, we currently have many pets which give buff/debuffs, and then we have some with utility, like web or pin, or slow etc. So I think you would pretty much have to keep the base abilities the same as they are now. Maybe the current pets with buffs/debuffs get a utility as an exotic ability as BM, and the ones with utlity, give a buff/debuff. Im not sure, but ccertainly we could think of something.
Also, I think this would open the door to the idea of picking your pet's talent tree, instead of the tree being based on family. Ferocity turtles anyone?

The system is already in place, just needs to be expanded. Also, I really liked the addition of special abilities like play, and rest, and the bird tricks. That could be expanded aswell.
