Rain of Arrows and Audience with the Queen

[barecm]

They currently suck and I don't know anyone who uses it. If i did, I would probably laugh at them asking them why they wasted skill points on them. Compared to just every other Epic Moment, it is garbage. It is not even as good as the tier 1 abilities for Shiradi Champion.

So, please consider making rain of arrows a cool down elimination for manyshot; with a 5 minute cooldown and a kill counter or skill counter like every other destiny has. You can have it a 10 rolls of a 20 like Unbridled Fury or whatever the case, but change it. The damage is putrid IF it hits and a certainly not worth of being called an epic moment.

Audience with the Queen is just plain bad. Bad idea and bad execution. Random effect of mediocre results that requires a high skill of something rangers typically don't build for = bad. I would change this around to be an effect, which you should be able to choose between when aquiring the skill, that enhances the two things this ED is based on... spell power or ranged attacks. AwtQ could grant a certain spell power increase for a duration or an attack and/or damage bonus for a duration. Again, tie it to a cooldown and/or completing a certain amount of attacks or spell casting etc like all the other good epic moments.

The way it is set up now, it is a total and complete waste and a joke why it even went into the live game considering all the negative feedback it got during beta.

It is time to do the right thing. Maybe less development cycles on creature companions and make some real fixes to the game such as this and others in the ED system that you charged a pretty penny for.

Audience with the Queen isn't an epic moment but a high level ability. Also while it's in primal and has some synergy for archers shiradi doesn't mean ranger, honestly fotw is probably better for rangers. That said the queen ability has given me something useful every time I've hit it, it's just proc'y like the whole of the destiny and fits the theme.

Rain of Arrows is useless. It's just a way to throw away the fey favor you've built up. Audience with the queen is worth it if you can no fail DC 40 diplo.

[Jaid314]

DC 40 diplo shouldn't be that hard.

single point in the skill (well, 2 points paid if you're not multiclassed into monk like most archer builds are these days)
+5 epic levels
+4 greater heroism
+20 item
+2 luck item
+3 cha item
+3 easy from tier 2 greensteel item (also an SP item swap if you don't have better than wizardry VI somewhere else)
+1 cha tome
-1 typical ranger starting cha

so... that's already up to +38 right there...

so ummm... seriously. spend a couple of bloody skill points, and farm some easy gear. maybe *gasp* even spend more than 1-2 skill points on it (the horror!). i mean, i know you're totally rocking those points in heal, or repair, or whatever other thing it is that rangers do with their otherwise useless skill points, but seriously... not a big deal for something you need to do once per rest.

I like having tea with the queen. Always gives something good, and sometimes it is amazing. And at least rain of arrows does some damage.

If you want to see worthless top tier powers, check out the unyielding sentinel destiny, and you will quickly realize there is nothing to complain about here.

[Jay203]

they need to remove the 1/rest restriction of audience
it's really stupid to have
just the long cooldown is more than enough

[MRMechMan]

Teatime is a very good ability.

300hp
75% elemental absorb
100prr
+10 saves
+10 stats and JOY OF THE QUEEN.

Rain of arrows is really not.

[Rian]

If you really impress the queen then you may get a chance to start adding all sorts of random magical effects to your spells and ranged attacks. Oh, and those are effected by spell power.

But yeah, I do feel the rain of arrows is lacking, especially because it can heal your enemies and it's really random.

Don't know if this is still true, but the one which gives 50% chance seemed to only work on spells, not ranged, which is really lame (the wording of it from the buff bar tooltip seems to say that's wai ). . The wiki specifically mentions that the indulgence proc works with both spells and ranged, which is good, but I've personally never gotten it.
