Was anybody else confused and annoyed by the changes made to some of the rangers main Combat Art lines, such as Triple Fire and Deliberating arrow lines? Surely if these have had there recast doubled they should have had their damages increased significantly.
 
My main Question is will this affect DPS? My guild is going to start raiding T5 content and to me this seems like it would cut down DPS by at least 20% which is a massive amount.
 
Anybody got any answer? Thx in advance.

I'm afraid you lost me.  I was aware of no such changes.

Can you be more specific about the changes.  I haven't noticed any changes to the cast times myself.

lol i was just as surprised as you guys seem to be. There were a few ranger combat arts which had a 30 second recast timer, which have now be changed to 1 minute. I was surprised that i hadnt heard about it, but i doubt it can be just a bug. Just checked the Combat art names (im level 44):
Miracle arrow
Triple Fire
Crippling Arrow
 
Before EoF these were on a 30 second recast timer, or they were for me at least....

Nope.  Unless they were changed last night / this morning, they are the same now as they have been.

There was no changes, so your the only one that's confused and annoyed.

Hmm so can everyone confirm that they were 1 minute recast before EoF, because they were definately not 1 minute for me.....

That line has always been one minute.  There are some items that reduce the recast time, but none by as much as 30 seconds.  The base recast has always been 1 minute.

I would have loved if it had been 30 seconds but it hasn't been in my recollection and I've had Triple Shot for over a year now (slow leveler).  Since Triple Shot is the first on my bar by the time I went through the rest of the bar it would be back up by then.  Its not, its been longer than 30 seconds.

We all do weird things like that..  And the only abilities on a 30s timer are confounding arrow and mortal reminder(think its 20s though) - thats it sorry.
