I’m with them.
Demon Hunters already have a melee spec, why would they need another?
You don’t need to transfer the spec to some other class, the game already has a sufficient number of melee specs. The only time that Hunter had anything close to melee was back in vanilla when they started out with an axe and had to level up before they could learn to use a bow. So my suggestion is this:
Give Hunters the option. Have some melee abilities on the new talent tree which can be chosen if that’s the way they want to play the spec but also give them the old system of Survival with its traps and so on.
