I just read from the top of post, this is my opinion: I like my SV hunter the way it is. I just started playing hunter in bfa, played all 3 spec a bit. I bounce from MM to SV. If all were ranged, it would reduce the flexibility of the class, for me.
My only wish for SV: I do not like pets much. MM has an option for petless play. Would like to see that for SV too.
