Talk:Sloth Hunter's Shot (PvP)

No wonder why Ranger players prefer using an axe or a scythe for PvP because all of the decent damage bow attacks are constantly being nerfed.William Wallace 05:46, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Rangers arent about damage. Its for shitters who want to farm glads and fame that use r/w's or r/d's.69.74.236.101 12:51, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

-15 dmg in total or just -5 unconditioned, thats not that big deal. this skill does up to 150 dmg in pvp if used properly.Zomby 07:45, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Oh yes, against squishies I've pulled 180 dmg out of it. Against spirits the dmg goes up to 200 --BeeD 08:38, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

lol, why would you waste this on a spirit? If you want to kill spirits use AoE Ele spells.Crimmastermind 09:43, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Uh, if you hadn't noticed, this is a talk page on a RANGER PVP skill. If you're worth your salt as a PVP player, you probably wouldn't bunch your spirits up close enough for an AOE spell anyway. --BeeD 09:49, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

^agreed on that. 69.74.236.101 12:51, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Nerf, nerf, nerf. That's all rangers get, not to mention a lot of other non-elite bow attacks are crap.

Whine, bitch, moan. That's all retards do, not to mention a lot of them don't know shit about balancing issues.

This thing hit like a mother, it did more potential damage per energy than pretty much anything I can think of offhand. The nerf was moderate but necessary. And yes, I do actually use a bow-ranger in PvP.Krelus Derian 05:17, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

I use a bow too, but im hitting 100 without any attack skills, sure it takes a hornbow, my elite, and ele secondary, no ones complaning about that, up to 140 with a 3 sec recharge skill, so ones nerfing those or complaining, sure it takes up two slots and a bow, but deals 100+ dmg constantly, heres a skill dealing 120dmg every 8 seconds +normal bow attack, so about 400dmg per 8 sec with that or use my elite and another skills for 800dmg per 8 sec, why bother with anything other?

Because some people want to do something different? Perhaps something like not using and ele secondary? --BeeD 11:56, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I use burning arrow, poison tip and a bunch of fast-activate bow attacks. And throw dirt to screw up those pesky crit-defense sins. Only thing that really flummoxes me with that is Restore Condition monks and God Mode Trees. Krelus Derian 00:07, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Please tell me how this skill is good? I'd take +22 damage, 17 secs of bleeding, and a 8 sec recharge with screaming shot, over +30 conditional damage and a 15 sec recharge any day. 97.112.216.68 01:19, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

It's not. Before this skill was split for PvP it was quite strong, and did up to +60 damage at 15 marks against targets not using a skill. This made it great for spikes, but also reasonably overpowered. So arenanet did the classic balancing act by reducing its damage potential by around ~25%. Of course, the skill was still regularly used after that reasonable nerf, and anet doesn't like when skills they Nerf are still used, so they nerfed the damage potential by a further ~20% and then doubled the recharge, effectively killing the skill in PvP. 68.198.97.123 04:54, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

The notes on each page don't match up this page says ranger and the other page says necromancer. Weaponmaster 06:49, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
