Totally agree. That’s the issue. They are trying to cram 5 specs into 3 so it’s watering down everything. Ranged SV is gone. Melee SV is confused and doesn’t fit the class identity. MM is now an Archer. There are persistent calls to make one a tank spec. Holy cow. It’s crazy.
If they are going back to class identity, melee survival doesn’t fit the class at all. Nothing demonstrates this fact like the new hunter class abilities. I don’t think they realize it, but they have not abandoned spec identity for hunters. If they want a melee hunter, and a ranger, and a tank, they need a new class.
There is plenty of room for a new “Ranger” class. It would keep them from watering down the hunter so much.
