Stop trying to remove melee

I posted about what I would envision a 4th spec looking like here: Ranged Survival seemingly a no go in 9.0 - #97 by Beastbashx-area-52

I honestly think they could keep survival as melee, if they introduced “Dark Ranger” as a 4th spec.

And has most of it’s abilities apply dots, with a permanent crows going whenever they attacked, and spiders applying venom in swarms, and had some cool cloaking effects and the ability to teleport short distances “invisibly”.

Black arrow could make a return and most of their pets could be shadow based. A more modern updated version of the old survival hunter with a new motif and cool aesthetic.

That I could see, and it would fit the expansion, as we are going to the shadowlands… what better time than then to introduce the dark ranger to hunters? (Survival ranged 2.0)

Could even make their traps apply bleeds, fire, poison, shadow damage, etc.

Sounds good to me

Those are just off the top of my head… if they did it right they could make it a fan favorite spec of all hunters in one go. Kinda like a cross of a unholy dk, shadow priest, sub rogue, and affliction warlock, all tied together in a survival 2.0 ranged addition mesh. I think it would be a cool spec addition and a solid middle ground for what is currently missing in survival being melee, without removing it entirely.
