I honestly think sv should have been a toggle class where they can switch between melee and ranged with the focus on using various traps and tools as their spec identity, pet or no pet.
I totally agree. I’ve never understood people hating it. I got kick out of a raid one time playing SV in Legion. The raid leader when on a big rant saying that I am dumb for playing a “Ranger” that doesn’t use range. I explained to him that “Ranger” isn’t called that because they use ranged weapons. It’s because they travel on the range (wide open spaces) and that the two most popular Rangers in fiction ( Aragorn and Drizzt) both use melee weapons as there weapons of choice. In his rage he kicked me out.

I agree the bombs i great concept but feel more fitting to class like Tinker. Don’t get me I do like the effect of wildfire bomb, but I do wish we had a shot like good looking, amazing sounds effect flayed shot.

I’m not a fan of the bombs or any of the shot animations (aka. Mini crossbow) for Survival.
AoE could be handled with either of the old glaive skills/animation instead but tweaked to deal direct damage followed by a bleed/dot to keep similar functionality to Wildfire Bombs.
Any single target “shot” skills should be replaced with a throwing spear animation like harpoon, minus the chain and leap of course. This should apply to Mongoose Bite during Aspect of the Eagle as well. Someone mentioned a toggle, maybe AotE could be a toggle or just stay a cd, I dunno. 
Throwing weapons as a supplement to being primarily melee still would be way more thematically appropriate for the Survival fantasy and way cooler.
