They could do it too, easily. Less than 10 changes:
- Multi-Shot, Counter Shot, Concussive Shot baseline for all specs.
- Counter Shot triggers a 24 second CD on Muzzle, Muzzle triggers a 15 second CD on Counter Shot.
- Concussive Shot and Wing Clip trigger a 5 second CD on each other, Wing Clip does not trigger a CD on itself.
- Change all instances of “Requires Two-Hand Weapon” to “Requires Melee Weapon”.
- Change Kill Shot from “Requires Polearms” to “Requires Weapon” and “Melee Range” to “Weapon Range”.
- Change Viper’s Venom from “Raptor Strike has a chance…” to “Raptor Strike and Arcane Shot have a chance…”.
- Change Tip of the Spear from “…next Raptor Strike by 25%…” to “…next Raptor Strike or Arcane Shot by 25%…”.
- Change Birds of Prey from “Attacking your pet’s target with Raptor Strike or Carve…” to “Attacking your pet’s target with Raptor Strike, Carve, Arcane Shot, or Multi-Shot…”.
Bingo, now Shadowlands SV is fully functional as 2h, DW, or Ranged. No new abilities or crazy balancing required. Anybody can play with whatever weapons they want. Truly skilled SV Hunters can swap from melee to ranged and back again in the same fight as needed to min/max their damage output and group utility.
