Just some quick timeframe questions for the devs. Answer what you can.

So with the introduction of recent things such as the single weapon fighting feat line and melee power we have seen a strong increase in melee power which personally I think was good as kiting still wins pretty hard on EE high level content. However, some of EE for ranged builds, and more so throwing builds, tend to be more of a grind through hp than the original challenge they were meant to be.

During the development of these various items I also heard mention of things like a feat line for throwing builds and the eventual add in of ranged power so I'm just wondering when these will actually come out, assuming that a dev is allowed to give some indication on these at this time.

I'd really like to see these things come out to provide even more fun builds (I'd like to see some swashbuckling thrower builds but right now ninja spy, pure or multilcassed, shuriken wins hard over any other throwing build).

Also as a side note that kinda ties in, is the knight of the chalice divine sacrifice ability only suppose to work with melee like smite foe? If so, would we be able to have clearer indications of this and other similar future enhancements to prevent future misconceptions?

So that's that for now. As mentioned answer what you can when you can.

Well it's been over a month now. Any possible updates on this info devs?

So it seems that at least ranged power will be fully implemented in update 25 as per some dev posts in another thread, so that answers that. However still no word on the throwing feat line that had been mentioned at one point. Hoping that this will be also part of 25, but we shall have to see.

Also, any word on the intended use of divine sacrifice? I'd be a really nice boost to ranged dps if it were allowed to work with ranged weapons too. Kinda stinks that most of paly doesn't work for ranged so it's best to go mostly into sacred defender for the saves, prr/mrr, and movespeed boost when it's more dps that ranged builds are hurting most for.

As another side note are there any plans to fix the ranger past list feat to include throwing weapons into the list of missile weapons that gain +2 damage per stack as they are in act missile type weapons?
