See, though, this is different. If they made UH a caster with no melee components whatsoever, then yes, that would be a valid argument. Blizzard unmade the core vision of the class when they said, “Uh, well, this thing is going to use a 2hander now for REASONS.” There was quite literally no logic behind it, when only 3 specs used ranged weapons to begin with. Now two. I can’t make sense of it.
I said before that SV should have interchangeable weaopon options since they are, by name, survivalists. You want to dual wield? Cool. You want to rock a gun? Why not? 2 hander? You do you, bro. It’s just a matter of calculations and making a handfull of skills interchangeable.
- Only conc shot, no more WC
- Raptor strike usable with a ranged weapon
- Only Counter Shot, no more Muzzle
- Kill shot usable with a ranged weapon
- Arcane moved to MM only
I think that’s it? You’d have to keep Eagle if someone still wanted to rock melee. In my opinion, there should be incentives to use different weapon types - haste, splash damage, better kiting, whatever. Just make the spec appeal to everyone. It’s pretty darn close to is already.
