BTW since you haven’t been around here for a while I’ll let you in on a fun fact. Jinday originally posted here on their Warrior main and bragged about their SV Hunter DPS, not realising that we could easily find the Hunter alt’s DPS and see it was quite poor. They tried to deny it at first. Jinday also got caught out posting from alts.
So that’s about the level of honesty you should expect.
To keep the post on topic: Survival should be a fully ranged spec. Hunters should keep everything they start with at level 1 and that means a ranged weapon.
