Changes to Point Blank Shot

[Ranja]

<div>May I ask why? As it stands now it is 4 secs. That is just about perfect. Now the notes say it is going to scale as you update the skill. What they leave out is that they knocked the App 1 version down to 2.4 secs and we get a whopping .2 per upgrade so at app2 it is 2.6. This is taking a pretty cool skill and nerfing it into utter uselessness. Why does SOE insist on taking anything that adds flavor to the game and crushing it? So at master 1 this spell will stun for 3.6 secs no where near long enough to accomplish anything of note. And this is at master 1. Ugh! Stop the senseless vanillification of the classes and their skills.</div><div> </div><div>Elbryan</div><div>64 Ranger</div>

<div></div><p>Totally agree, this sucks !</p><p>The worst thing though is the fact that, from whatever way i look at it, I just can't understand why they did it. The DEVS should know that this spell has become useless for a Ranger in its current form. Maybe they designed it with Assassins in mind ?</p><p>Rhan</p><p>Ranger</p>

I believe the skill should start at 2 seconds and update 0.5 seconds per level.<div></div>

It's pretty much pointless trying to figure out why things are changed.SoE tend to find something that people like about the class and simply destroy it. What then follows is months of posting and the class will get back the skill 50% nerfed over what it was to begin with.Whats amusing is that point blank wasnt in any shape or form overpowered, just a nice solo spell which allowed rangers to use their bow.I am prediciting a LOT more "balances" to AP skill lines for all classes over the next few months.
