somebody nice ideas for cover fire and snaring shot ? both are imho really underpowerdthx<div></div>

[Kiluvi]

Really neat ideas, but Hawk Dive is now way overpowered.Something else you need to remember is that some of the spells your listing as need 'fixing' are spells designed for T6, so they're naturally not going to be your best option for T7; hence Veiled Fire being just as powerful, if not more, as Sniper Shot in some cases.

<P>im sorry but did i read that right? a pack of hawks? lol. amusing.</P> <P>dood and [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] 7k sniper shot at m1? get more strength gear mate!</P> <P>Coverfire is not underpowered, it is Ranged and unresistable/cant miss. and then gives every attack after it a higher chance of also not missing. it works fine imo.</P> <P>Also yes Snipershot is tier 6 so dont worry next tiem the level cap increases rangers will be on top of the high melee hit because decap wont get a upgrade and sniper shot will, But It is underpowered in the fact that decap is near a instant cast and sniper shot has a long cast time that requires you to be in stealth during that cast time.</P> <P>I like the focus Aim idea except the the spell crits and dps+ imo tho it should remain what it is and just become a self maintained proc buff. Rangers are supose to be master archers afterall.</P> <P>Thought, whats the highest you can get your ATK rateing to? not DPS/HASTE but ATK above your mitigation in the persona window. Why cant Rangers Buff that like we could in EQ1?</P> <P>Edit: ah btw if anything we should complain about the change they made to lunging joust awhile back. they changed it form sustained DoT DPS to a crummy 4sec root. i mean [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] a 4sec root?</P><p>Message Edited by RinionX on <span class=date_text>08-07-2006</span> <span class=time_text>09:25 AM</span>

So I like that change.</P> <P>2nd Ancient spells do not get upgrades. So it's unlikely Sniper Shot will have an upgrade either, otherwise where the hell is my Stream of Arrows upgrade? The main problem I see with Sniper Shot, and really any skill, is it can't get any better. At max STR for level 58 Sniper Shot M1 does around 8500, but at level 70 the max is the same amount. So if you don't upgrade your gear then you actually start doing less damage as you level, which is easily in the top 5 most [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] ideas in this game.</P>

<P>Hehe! <STRONG>Someone</STRONG> has copied my CA representation from the "Stream... again <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />" thread <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P>I knew it was just a matter of time lol <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P>

<P>Simple fix for the "Ancient" CAs:  Make them upgrade with level, as a few other CAs do.</P> <P>Those abilities are very nice, and it seems sad to just leave them behind.</P> <P>The fix mentioned for Stream of Arrows seems a bit too powerful, especially with a high DR bow.  Better to simply increase the damage (possibly upgrading with level) to the point that it's a useful tool.  Alternatively, boost the damage even more, and increase its recast time a great deal.  I'd like to see a version of Stream of Arrows that was a bit like EQ1 Trueshot.  Once every 30-60 minutes, for 30 seconds, make us DPS gods again.  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P>The Hawk Dive fix above may be a bit overpowered too, but they dang well need to do SOMETHING to fix that CA.  Try comparing that hawk with a brigand's Band of Thugs.  :p</P>

<DIV>i think they should change hawk dive to a duck. you cast it and it waddles over to the mob and quacks at it for a bit then vanishes.</DIV>

I dont even use Sniper's shot anymore.  Takes too long to cast and everything.  Veiled Fire is the man now.  Plus i have the master 1 version.  Got a high hit critical with veiled on a raid for 14k+, plus it takes 1/2 as long to cast and only like a 1.5 min recast?   yea, screw sniper's.<div></div>
