I was going to say "Damn! I might have to change mains!" What with the demon hunter coming out and all. Totally blindsided, did NOT think they would do another hero class.
But then I realized Survival's weapon is a Spear.... *Evil Grin*
Yeah baby. Melee hunters are back.
Confirmed in interview later, Survival hunters are melee, and there's no weapon drops in the expansion. Just various reformations of the legendary for your spec, and transmog.
