Default Concept Skill: Heavy Arrow
Ranger - Marksmanship - Bow Attack
15 Energy cost - 4 second Casting time - 15 Second Recharge time

You shoot a heavy arrow that moves slower than normal and deals blunt damage. If it hits, target foe is knocked down and takes +10...20...25 damage.

Always thought there should be a Knock Down bow attack. Maybe speed up the casting time and make it "Easily interrupted".

The Icon would have to be an arrow with a a rock or something tied to the end of it.

That's why it has such a long casting time and reduced speed. Your ranger needs to pull the string back far enough to fire it and has to aim high enough to get it anywhere.

Besides, this is Guildwars, not physics class/real life.

And tell me you haven't wondered why the Dwarves have gun powder but no guns.

Last time I checked, this is Guild Wars, not real life.

Anyways, this skill would really see no use. 4 seconds to shoot an arrow, it's really not worth it.

actually that sounds like a cool skill, but definetly lower it to 2 second casting time probably instead of easily inturruption though, have half the range, heavier the arrow the shorter it will travel im guessing
but there should be a knock down bow attack 4 seconds is rediculous though, no one would use it, as they can deal way more damage with 2 attacks then 1 with knock down

i think this would be better though
Heavy arrow
ranger-marksmanship- ELITE bow attack
15 energy -no casting time (like almost any attacks) - 10 recharge

your description + half range

that would make it so people might actually use it.

Alright, lets be logical then. Give a person a staff, see if a magical beam shoots out. Give a person a map, see if they can map travel. Give a person a ring with the gale image on it, see if they can use it to knock someone down. I can go on, but this is really pointless.

Yes magic is out of physcial world LOL. It's imagination concept. It's not under Physcis. Travel by map, yes you can do because it's a game and you don't want to waste time. Would you want to change? Like WoW? LOL

But Shoot a rock by a bow is kinda pathetic.

Throw a rock you need a torch not using a bow lol.

It would makes more sense if this is a throwing rock skill lol! Like throw dirt. Shooting a rock with a bow is urg hahahahah!!! Better shoot an arrow that make of rock lol.

Btw for the skill, no it makes no sense lol. Arrow can not knock down people, period lol. Only Spells such as a rock faling on your head, hammer or spells can do that lol. Arrows can not knock people down lol!


Last word: Just give me a physcial action in GW that is not true lol!

You fail.

Make this skill:

Elite
10 Energy
10 Second Recharge
2 Second Casting Time

Make it: If this arrow hits, you deal +10 - +20 damage, and target foe is knocked down for 1...2...3 seconds.

If Mr. Realistic Physics really gives a crap, he could have suggested that it would be named either A. Arrow of Rock (which he did) or B. Heavy Arrow, but the skill icon image is a bow firing an Arrow made of rock, steel, ect.

A mod needs to put a stop to your "lol, this sucks" +1ing, it's rather anoying seeing it in the last 7 threads I read.

to the OP: It's a fun concept to add a little more depth to the ranger. My guild has always jokingly talked about such a skill and it would be great to see it added. Mickey made a good suggestion to help the skill a little bit, so I'm going to leave it at that.

I think that this should be an elite.
Read the Wind and a recurve bow would just about fix the "slower" part. Then you use Broad Head arrow without worry because your target is knocked down. Where as if this was an elite, there's no need to worry about such things.

Just take off the stupid 4 second cast time, that's just a baed idea.

Make it normal attack speed, but "This attack has half the normal range" or something.

Maybe 10 energy instead of 15? Just to kind of fall in line with Cripshot and Burning Arrow, and maybe make it elite
