I think it's more that we'd prefer to see stand-alone skill ideas, in general. If I'm thinking of revamping rangers, for example, it's generally easier for me to take one well-thought out rangery skill and shoehorn it a bit to where it helps specializations or whatever balance out best than to try to do something with rough ideas for a whole specialization choice.

All that said, the idea of bow-focused rangers is an idea that's crossed our minds, and we definitely haven't ruled it out as a possibility at some point. Most of the skill ideas/implementation here don't really set my imagination afire, though.

We like making little puppies happy.
