STOP!

STOP DOING THIS STUFF!

If you want an entirely new class, then make a new class!
Stop completely destroying a class' identity and calling it a remaster or revamp...

All you did was delete Wild Hunter and made a completely different class called Wild Hunter...

Wild Hunter only needed very small changes, not be deleted into something unrecognizable for a playstyle no one signed up for, removing the playstyle that players actually wanted to play.

This needs to stop. This stuff is actually unacceptable!

We no longer get new classes, instead we get deletion of classes and replaced with a class that is super generic and plays the same as every other class with a different coat of paint on it... this direction will only kill the game more and more.


Better Solutions:

First off, the two main summons for Drill Salvo (the machine gun wall) and Hunting Unit (the spinning machine gun circle) are very nice and is what makes mobbing so satisfying for Wild Hunter.

The jaguars and have a jaguar buddy that attacks alongside you is a core aspect to Wild Hunter.

The thing that Wild Hunter needed is just the option to place all of the jaguar skills into auto-mode, that is it. When a jaguar mode is placed into auto mode, when any jaguar is in range to use that skill against a monster, then that skill will automatically be used without interrupting the character's movement or other action(s).
~ This is the option to turn the jaguar skills into passive attacks with cooldowns, but the option to keep them all as actives is still there, or run a hybrid setup of some passive jaguar skills and some active jaguar skills for each individual player can customize their playstyle to their liking.

The other thing that could be done too is the character always rides a jaguar, but a jaguar is always summoned next to you as well (meaning, you always have 2 jaguars summoned at the minimum, one jaguar is the attacking jaguar), so jaguar riding has all of the benefits of both modes of on and off jaguar at the same time.

With Jaguar Storm still doing the same thing which is spawn in a bunch of extra jaguars.


Conclusion:

Do not implement the changes currently on KMS.

Rethink things over, and then do proper changes that upholds to the current Wild Hunter playstyle that players fell in love with!

Key word here is uphold to the current Wild Hunter playstyle and make only the necessary small improvements that are needed for a more enjoyable experience which does NOT involve alienating the current player base whatsoever or deleting Wild Hunter from the game.

    This change didn't kill the theme WH had going on. When it was created long time ago, the Resistance was known for mounted combat not counting BaM. Wild Hunter losing its ability to alongside its jaguar is just reverting back to its older iteration in some way and bring along some skills they acculumated over the years. The removal of Hunting Assistant Unit for mines is a callback to Wild Hunter's old defunct skills to drop mines and so is ditching dismounted combat.

    We had this iteration for Wild Hunter for well over 10 years now, this has been the longest standing version of Wild Hunter.

    If you cared so much about the original design, why didn't you speak up at that time. But now we should uphold to the design that is the most recent and been around for the longest.

    And it is about the gameplay they are yeeting away into a generic class with a wild hunter skin. The gameplay is the most important part to a class!

    I rarely log into my wild hunter, but I specifically wanted the Snow White jaguar for my character. I really wish I didn't have to lose it.
