If Hunters can have a melee spec, why can’t Rogues have a ranged spec?
Can be like Ninja style with ninja stars and/or xbows. Or can go more the pirate/swashbuckler with dual pistols?
They tried that last expansion in TWW and did not work out.
Personally the only ranged rouge I would want to see is a throwing weapon spec. We used to use thrown weapons and We even had a ranged finisher. Then they removed both. Our thrown weapons used to be equipped like ammo for bows and guns.

Did they really? I leveled to max as Sub and stopped playing. Didn’t even notice.
because they didnt make any rogue spec range
hes most likely refering to outlaws ability crackshot which you can use between the eyes back to back
but thats not range rogue, since you still needed to be in melee range for ss/ambush, dispatch, blade flurry, your energy regen kit
dont listen to mafic he has no idea what hes talkign about

A ranged spec for Rogue would be Bard 
TWW Crackshot/DF was pretty fun but it was too hard to balance.
Even on the 12.1 PTR they are nerfing BTE talents again and it feels bad.
Rogue ranged spec would be stealth archer. Sub is already the shuriken spec and outlaw already has guns. That leaves bows, crossbows, and maybe suppressed guns for the theoretical 4th rogue ranged spec.
Nah two of our specs has throwing. Assassination has a throwing ability and sub has the Shuriken throw. Too me if we get a ranged spec it should be throwing at 25 yards. But unlike the dh we should be a complete ranged and not have anything bring us close.

All we really need is an effective finisher. RIP Deadly Throw.
If we had a ranged spec, I’d want it to be a true range spec with 40 yd range. None of this mickey mouse 25 yard stuff we currently see in the game.
Poisoned arrows for single target. Exploding arrows or rocket launchers for AoE. What I visualize is sniper doing its craft from a distance.
