Well ive played a hunter since vanilla. so since MoP i feel like ranged weapons get boring and ive never really liked the idea of exotic pets. So this is how i would re do BM. So if ur not using ranged u of course would use melee weapons. How would that work well u would first either chose between a two hander (staff or polearm and some agility axes that pop up) and then u would dw(daggers, fist weapons,swords, axes, ect) in a way it would work a little like a fury warrior but not dw two handers, why i say that is ur abilities if u use a two handers it does the direct damage, if u dw it will use both weapons with the abilities like a frost dk, of course all ur armour will be the same just using melee agility.
Now to the pets i hate the exotic aspect of the bm and the dumb abilities of pets.
So this is wat i would think would be very awesome take exotic pets out all are normal pets. now along with that u will redo all there abilities now that every pet can chose between all three specs when they chose a spec they also get there abilities example. cat Fer. Rake-all fer abilities will do direct damage will a small dot so like rake would do some initial damage with a little dot like some bleeding damage. Cun. would be a straight stun like pounce and stun them for a few secs. wich all pets would do that and then Ten. all pets would get a aoe taunt.
Now some people would be like well wat would u do with the beast master u should tame special pets well this is wat i came up with and i like this idea the most.
Drake Tamer. Dragons are alot more exotic to me and would put a nice twist to things. u would have different flights. The dragons would still use the same abilities like the pets i just told u about but they would be more powerful. Fer. would be some breath use direct damage with a little dot and ect.
U would have a few different flights
Bronze-which also includes infinite
This will not include dragonspawn and draknoids just welps drakes and some full size dragons
Now the last thing would be the abilities. Most abilities will pretty much be the same just turned to melee
Like Cobra shot will turn into cobra strike? work a little like slam has a casting time
and most moves will work like that
now misdirect can still be used u will just gain an ability with will be called pee shooter its a 30 sec cool down and it shoots a hand gun for no damage but dazes and it can be used for misdirect to pull
