I am so fervently grateful that BM will not be the unwanted class any longer. From everything I have read, all hunters are getting a huge makeover, but Beast Masters most of all. For almost my entire WoW gaming experience, I have been spit on, kicked from raids and laughed at, all because I roll with BM. I LIKE that spec, it makes my gameplay FUN.
We BMs take SO MUCH TIME to hunt rares, explore unknown territory, and generally peek under every rock and look in every nook. Thank you Blizzard, thank you for looking at us and realizing how much time we give up to this game. It's nice to finally be rewarded back for our time. We will no longer feel shoehorned into a different spec to be wanted for raiding! We will no longer be looked down upon because we prefer an XXXX pet to a XXXX pet, just because it looks nicer! No longer will we Beast Masters be treated like the scum of the huntard world, just because we have a slight case of pokemania!
Beast Mastery brothers and sisters, stand with me now, and be PROUD to be a beast master, for with the rise of Deathwing, our day will come!
