SV Hunter: Equip both Melee Weapon and Ranged?

No. Less ranged and more melee.

“Handicap my spec even more pls Blizz”

No. Go back to your own class (which has 3 ranged specs btw)

I wouldn’t mind if SV had the crossbow equipped on the hip so you are not pulling out the mini xbow from the void. I think putting the Xbow and whatever melee weapon on the player’s back would look to busy/messy.
