First off, I did not see any insulting of people going on in this thread, but instead I see a disagreement about specific ideas and statements.
You may say that this is "in-fact" insulting, but it couldn't be farther from it. None of the posts that I have read thus far have been anywhere near insulting. Not even close.

If you think that someone disagreeing with your point of view is insulting, and you can't stand for it, then I suggest that you step back from these forums.

The world is filled with people who have different opinions and beliefs about things, and just because I don't like vanilla icecream doesn't make the fact that my best friend does insulting to me. It is just a simple difference of opinion.

If you can't handle this, you need to really need to back off of the keyboard and talk to someone.

I suggest you be a bit more careful with your statements. The thread might not have been straight out namecalling, but it was quickly turning into it. And from some of the posters, it got pretty obvious that those of us who didn't like it are idiots. We have different reasons. Personally? I'm not too keen on having to keep my pet alive to provide that ZOMGAWSUM buff, because my pet might very well go down, quickly even. And giving all those buffs to us hunters? Not a very good idea either.

So will the rest of the raid, seeing as how we're such important buffers now. ^_^

I will take my leave.

Bears will need to have a permanent position in the five callable stable slot for 10M and 25M raiders and demoralizing road is what the Exotic for Devilsaurs should be.

I was thinking more of the non-Boss mobs in a fight that generally do not get the debuff unless one of the tanks you mentioned is engaged; adds in Deathwhisper, Bloodbeasts, Slimes, adds in Dreamwalker, etc.

I love the idea that We as Hunters have something else to offer the raid aside from Pure DPS.
Although we haven't done it in a while, we can CC quite effectively.
Again, since we haven't done it in a while, we can kite mobs that can't be CCed as well. (well, some of us can, others will have to learn how.)
Now we can bring something else, something ALL of the other classes bring to the table, BUFFS!!
And not just any old Buff but just about any buff you need! We are going to be the group/raid multi-tool. We can do it ALL!

Ever been in a 5-man without a stam buff when your tank really needs it?
~Not anymore! As of patch 4.00 it will be no problem! Hunter, you can summon your awesome Silithid or Beetle pet for some Leet Buffage!!

Tank isn't a Warrior but you still want that awesome armor debuff so you can top the DPS charts?
~No Problem! Hunters have a Pet just for that! Just call out your trusty raptor pet for some MAX DPS!

Seriously though, this FIRST pass of Hunter Pets has been awesome. Sure there are some kinks to work out, but Blizzard is working on it.
Sure, like anything there is change, some good, some bad. But so far, the VAST majority of the changes have been GOOD.

Hell, I have to give them some serious props for doing all that they have for the Hunter Class so far in Beta.


If you don't agree with my opinion, thats fine too. I actually love discussions and debates.
Its the only way you can really learn what a person is really like, and what views they actually entertain.
But you do have to be able to explain your reasoning with some logic.

This is actually a fantastic idea. Fort buff AND you can (potentially) root the mob you're fighting, in addition to having traps for kiting. I definitely expect to see more silithids out there for soloing.
