Regarding 10k stars and ranged Balance !!!!

[~HellCloud]

I remember the devs stating that 10k stars was to be made into a feat . Which had some of us thinking yay maybe different classes will get a chance to stay pure and have a chance at a great ranged output !!!

Now you have kept your word i guess , cause 10k became a monk related feat which is super easy to obtain and you do not have to give up much for it with the change to pre req feats and prestiges .

And yes extra shot can not compare in no way shape or form , This change will actually push you to have monk levels for 10k even more .

You Turbine , Did not address that balance , Other bow users wanted away to stay ranged most of the time too , Yes the pre"s look a little better now/more clickie . But everything an AA can get That monkcher can get plus 10k and an extra crit multiplier with really no drawback ..

I hope you have more to give to us outside of extra shot ! More along the line of extra shots ... plural also with a higher rate !!

How would non-Monks generate the ki to activate 10kS? Especially if they're full time archers who dont melee?

Unless you're suggesting they remove the Ki requirement and just make it a clicky like Manyshot? In which case, you're just making it another Manyshot on a quicker timer with a wis req...thats not really adding diversity to the game, its just adding another must-have cookiecutter feat for archers.

Since its always preferable to offer a better idea when you shoot one down (no pun intended): how about adding enhancements to Ranger and Fighter Ranged Kensei that shorten the cooldown on Manyshot, down to maybe 1 min cooldown when fully invested? That way, non-Monk archers (which, really, are Rangers and Fighters) can achieve something like a similar ROF without having to go Monkcher.

And Monkcher itself doesnt become obsolete, since Monk itself offers many other bonuses over Fighter/Ranger that offset the need to spend a feat on 10kS/Zen Archery.

They " Devs " can easily implement a ranged charge up via stacks or whatever !! It's not unfathomable it can be thought !!

Monkchers wouldn't loose there viability at all ! I wouldn't want them too atleast , But they shouldn't be the only ones with that type of high rof when it comes to ranged weapons .
