SH Changes - Speculations and Inspiration (Maybe)

[Brutinho]

This post is primary to have fun speculating what SH’s patch could bring. If SH changes are delayed and it brings some inspiration then even better. I will be basing my forecast on comments from devs, such as how they want to balance classes and make adjustments to less viable masteries without mirroring classes and my own personal take on what the classes should be doing in spirit.
Taking a look at changes to rSW -> Scout is meant to be single target turret burst mastery, assault is a melee single target burst mastery and skirmish a medium to long AoE mastery
SHs already have a AoE mastery which is bouncing, which means the other 2 could be modified to be debuff oriented and burst oriented masteries . Quick Shootin’ seems to be more adequate for a burst centric mastery due to its name, and Big Shootin’ can relate more to long distance debuffs and support to front lines.
