Can’t speak for the class in PvP but yeah. Many players feel as you do.
We need to get back that playstyle of a mobile ranger that does not have a main focus on pets.
Should there be no option to focus on pets at all? Depends on who you ask ofc.
But the old ranged SV from pre-Legion did a good job of filling this role.
Many want it back. As evident by many topics created in the past as well as more recently. One can only hope that the devs hear us…
