I’m sure some people like the random “from the wild” aspect, so that’s why all it needs is a glyph. Having one of my own pets temporarily help me is way cooler than a random cat or monkey I have no attachment to whatsoever. Why can’t there be an option for Dire Beast to randomly pick from one of my 4 other active pets? Then I can assemble a team of my favorites, and literally all 5 of them can see action. I get that Blizzard’s intention is for the Hunter to call on the aid of wild beasts wherever they are, but I have 4 extra and perfectly fine pets already on me. You see these pets constantly, especially since Dire Beasts now spawn beside you and charge into the target. In Legion, you are using this ability every 10 seconds or less.
I never thought much of it because it was a talent on a longer cooldown. It summons a beast appropriate to the zone you’re in when you cast it. I like summoning my own pets, the ones I spent hours, days, weeks, months, or even years acquiring. Permanent second pet? Double awesome. Here’s the problem: Summoning pets alone is not why I like playing this type of Hunter. Summoning pets as a rotational ability? Awesome. I like the gameplay direction Beast Mastery is headed from a fantasy perspective.
I’m not going to be talking about mechanics or numbers here, I’m going to talk about what I think is wrong with Beast Mastery on a more aesthetic level. This post concerns the Hunters like me who camp rare pets for days on end and agonize over the naming of their pets. Alright, I know some of you don’t give a crap about class fantasy. That’s fine, but this post probably doesn’t concern you.
