I feel like both melee and old survival could exist in one spec. They already added ranged weapon only abilities back like arcane and steady. Just need to rework some talents.
Delete flanking strike and add black arrow, making it ranged weapon only. That way you have to choose between raptor strike talents or a ranged playstyle. As the op suggested you can make some of the other talents like wildfire infusion baseline and the double bomb talent imo. Add explosive shot and lock and load in their place. Explosive would replace bomb. Lock and load is already in the last tier as mm so why not ours? It could proc an empowered bomb or explosive shot if your talented into it. Maybe even change steady to cobra and let it build focus.
Then for flavor, can we add snake trap back maybe as a pvp talent. And maybe even wyvern
Added: Then delete explosive shot from mm and give them something they want. Don’t want the specs feeling too similar.
