NEW Ranger Enhancement Line

[bhgiant]

Update!

We intend to restore positive spellpower (devotion) to Rangers in some form.

Well, here it is. Some interesting things going on here. IMO, it equates to a net positive, though not without it's drawbacks. Remember people this is ALPHA. Things WILL change. Please be constructive with your feedback and be courteous to each other.

Completely underwhelming. I waited a year for this?

No Deepwood sniper?

You missed the first line

[Ape_Man]

You missed the first line

Ahh, well that better blow me away because so far this all looks meh. Tempest isn't any better yet is more expensive. The devotion line is GONE so goodbye self-healing. AA looks overly complicated.

Not looking good so far.

[redspecter23]

Adrenaline + Arrow of Slaying looks quite fun. It should lead to some nice big numbers. I'm wondering how it interacts with manyshot or 10k stars. Perhaps all arrows during that volley get the slaying effect? If so that seems quite powerful.

20 second cooldown. This is a nerf over existing slaying arrows.

[redspecter23]

20 second cooldown. This is a nerf over existing slaying arrows.

I see it not so much as a nerf, but as a completely different ability in use and function. You see glass half empty, I see it half full.

The ability to perform this attack at will instead of relying on the luck of the dice means that quite often, this will be your lead attack when first approaching a mob. Improved precise shot + adrenaline could equal a line of dead epic elite mobs. It's not the same consistent damage over time that the old slayer arrows provided, but there is much potential here.

[Ape_Man]

I see it not so much as a nerf, but as a completely different ability in use and function. You see glass half empty, I see it half full.

It's a mathmatical function, this isn't objective. If you're need seeing things this way you need to check your glasses.

Ironically enough, I'm thinking the exact same thing about your glasses. We'll see how it pans out.

[maximus123123]

20 second cooldown. This is a nerf over existing slaying arrows.

The worst part about it is you have to click something to proc it.
I like the current mechanism where it happens by chance, no need to actively click it.

Too many active clicks and there's just no room on hotbars...(adreniline, manyshot, 10k stars, otto's whistler, now slaying arrows as an activatable click...not liking that.)

have no fear, the fanbois will rave on about how wonderful this is and we'll get stuck with it.

[Ganolyn]

I agree. With the exception of the interface needing improvement and maybe tweaking some costs and abilities here and there, I like the "old" system and its versatility. This seems like an unnecessary and wholesale revamp of a system that really isn't broken.

[Fecerak]

Except for that this slaying arrow isn't instead of a AA stance, but rather in addition to it - making it a different ability and not a nerf. If you can get a different stance that does slightly less damage per hit than slaying arrows do currently, but the new slaying arrow ability makes up for that it won't be a nerf. If the new stances are way worse then it would be a nerf, and if the new stances are better it would be a buff.

While it isn't objective, I wouldn't say for sure this early whether it is better or worse.

[orakio]

It's a mathmatical function, this isn't objective. If you're need seeing things this way you need to check your glasses.

Except for the fact that it now stacks with primary imbues, no longer invalidating their existence, and additionally is affected by crit multiplier. It is also no longer the only mechanic that Arcane Archer has for dealing damage, as both the Inferno and Burning status effects from Inferno Shot and Improved Elemental Arrows: Flaming arrows should add a significant chunk of sustained damage to Arcane Archers.

The question is, if Slayer arrows add +250 damage, and if they are affected by crit multiplier, are they physical bonuses to damage dealt and therefore also affected by Adrenaline? If so this is a VERY nice position for the ability to be in.

Now of course if you have the mathematical function available and would like to show where it is a "nerf" over existing slayer arrows for Adrenaline archers then it may invalidate his statment of it being a different use and function.

[Ape_Man]

While it isn't objective, I wouldn't say for sure this early whether it is better or worse.

The synergy or lack-thereof with deepwood will make that determination.

Maybe AA's still savable, tempest is meh.

[droid327]

Wow couple questions this raises, since I cant get on Lamm...

-Does everything work with xbows now? repeaters? The core AA "capstone" seems to suggest that RXBs will function with at least some AA enhancements...

-You only need to splash Ranger 5 for all tiers of enhancements, minus the core skills?

-Does Inferno Shot refresh the timer as well as add a stack? It seems like, if it doesn't, there's no point in having a 6-second DOT with a 3-second cooldown stack up to 20 times...

-Monkcher + Soul Magic = lots of free SPs... Also, same question with RXBs and Soul Magic. If you gain 3 SP per volley, I could see a whole lot of Arti AAs after the update...

[maximus123123]

I don't know how many of these abilities are imbues as opposed to activatable clicks.

My fear would be that most of the power will be coming from activiting something making the build a lot more complicated to play than current mechanics. There just won't be enough room on my hotbar for everything I'd want to do (hotbar is currently full as it is).

[HatsuharuZ]

Looks okay, so far. Arcane Archer seems a bit weak, but I like the imbues overall. Tempest looks wonderful!

Two questions, though:

1) Where is the devotion line?

2) How does the Shattermantle imbue benefit the user? It's not like rangers are awesome spellcasters.

[Ape_Man]

Tempest looks wonderful!

What am I missing? What's so wonderful about it that we don't already get from practically no AP.

Seriously, I'm not trolling. What's so great about it?
