Wow. And here I thought that it was just my imagenation when my ranger started doing less damage when I got back from vacation...Done25 15:12, 13 April 2008 (UTC) Just a word on sundering attack and power shot:


 * 1) Sundering Attack/Penetrating Attack: decreased damage to 3..10; decreased armor penetration to 10%; increased recharge to 4 seconds.
 * 2) Power Shot: decreased damage to 5..20.

I want to say this from the PvE point of veiw, PvE seems to be left out more than ever since it is a constant battle between PvE and PvP and in the end the skills will go to PvP and we all know that. I know you've tried to settle it with things like PvE-only-skills but it isn't entirely making the whole community happy, except for their ursan teams all the time, lol. Anyway I just want to say this...Power Shot, 10 energy right? 20 dmg at 12 marksmanship with 6 second recharge. Ok, recharge is perfecly fine, but don't let that be an indication to nerf that too ;) But what im getting at is the cost of energy for the damage is extremely high, +20 dmg with high attributes is just not good enough. Power shot is one of the starter skills in prophecies and used to be a favourable skill, but now when someone looks at that in their skill bar its basically meh. A secondary Ranger would find it useless. Lets compare it, you know, just for fun. Can't compare it so well but lets try anyway. Unsuspecting Strike. 10 energy. 2 recharge. +29 dmg and 63 if health was above 90%. 12 crit strikes btw.

Ok I really have to wrap this up on both skills now, but let me just say, don't you reckon its a bit harsh on the PvE players and further consideration should be taken on Power Attack and Sundering Attack? Expecially sundering attack. thanks. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Dwaynas Hot Friend (talk).

C'mon guys we all KNOW that power shot was overused in HA and GVG. You hardly saw a ranger build without that skill on their skill bar. It was overpowered for the energy cost and completely dominated high-end pvp. Izzy was only being considerate for the needs of the game. . EXCUSE ME Izzy. That's like nerfing....stone sheath or something. I meant your nerfing a starter skill. When was the last time you nerfed ignite arrows, or healing signet, or firestorm???!!!

 * You're stepping into personal attacks. Discuss the actual changes, and not the mental status of the changer. --[[Image:User Brains12 Spiral.png|15px|Pling! \]] Brains12 \ Talk 00:59, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Happy now? It should have been obvious sarcasm (notice the play on my username anyone?)....but I guess people here just don't have a sense of humor. :( Psychiatric Consultant 04:18, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
