Survival Hunters don’t get an actual melee ability until lvl 13. Can Raptor Strike be made a baseline ability that is known at lvl 1 so players who want to start a Survival Hunter aren’t forced to choose between using a ranged weapon or having no abilities?
The talent slot for Raptor Strike could be replaced with a combined Viper’s Venom (Raptor Strike applies Serpent Sting) and Contagious Reagents (Reapplying Serpent Sting spreads it to up to 4 enemies within 8 yrds).
This is an easy win / win.
