Marauder's Shot (last update: July 13th, 2006)

Current functionality is a bit stale and boring

Issue

Stale, boring skill.

Suggestion

Lower damage to 5...17...21, increase recharge to 7, add "This arrow has an additional 10% chance to critical per rank of Expertise, cannot be blocked, and removes a stance. Ranged counter to sway.

Change to above idea

Issue

Stale, boring skill and above suggestion is overpowered.

Suggestion

Move to Expertise.

15 0 6 "Bow Attack. Marauder's Shot strikes for +10...26...30 damage, cannot be blocked, and removes target foe's stance. 50% Failure with Expertise 4 or less." The 50% failure is so that this doesn't give every profession access to unconditional ranged stance removal, and the 15 energy means that it can't be mindlessly spammed.
