Why does it exist? It is all-around inferior to [crossfire] and [Sundering Attack]

TheOrangeFalcon · Nov 22, 2008, 09:45 AM // 09:45

Because Power Shot is from Proph. Its been around long enough like almost every other proph skill to be outdated by new campaigns(crossfire=NF, Sundering=Factions and a copy of [Penetrating Attack]

pinooh · Nov 22, 2008, 11:02 AM // 11:02

yeah its useless.. but if you see around there are more skills like that (also for other profs)

just ignore them i suppose

Artisan Archer · Nov 22, 2008, 11:09 AM // 11:09

Cause it rocks in pre-searing.

dilan155 · Nov 22, 2008, 03:22 PM // 15:22

it is pretty leet in pre. and many proph skills are outdated now a days.

Dmitri3 · Nov 22, 2008, 03:53 PM // 15:53

The only advantage is 1 second "cast". Guess that matters sometimes... but in most cases, it's inferior to any other bow attack.

Tyla · Nov 22, 2008, 04:08 PM // 16:08

This skill is a very brave skill.

It's good in pre,otherwise its kinda meh.

It needs to be lowered to 5e,but like most prophs skills it will most likely always be ignored.

Skyy High · Nov 22, 2008, 05:02 PM // 17:02

The 1 second firing time made it, well, not strictly inferior to everything else, but it's still pretty horrible.

Xenomortis · Nov 22, 2008, 06:03 PM // 18:03

[Penetrating Attack] and it's duplicate [Sundering Attack] have 1 second cast times, do more damage and have a 10% armour ignoring bonus for the same energy cost and a lower recharge.
[Power Shot] is inferior and outside pre, pointless in PvE.

I wouldn't say all Proph. skills are outdated there are some good skills in Proph.I would agree that powershot shot should be on par with power attack.

And others say Power Attack should be on par with Powershot.

Precision shot is exactly the same as power shot except it cant be blocked

and is easily interrupted

and theres lots of useless attack skills
its purpose is to make the useful attack skills more appealing

(but it was used in pewpew builds at one point in time)

Alright then, to avoid making a new thread:

What should be done to make it viable?

more dmg? utility (ie, armour pen, conditions, interupts, +dmg-conditional)?

What if you need a 1s attack and already have [[Penetrating Attack] and [[Sundering Attack] equipped? Right, you can take [[Power Shot]

For a single-target DPS bar with tons of 1s skills it still can be useful (not saying that such a bar on it's own is useful

).

Not that much that could be done without creating more powercreep. Perhaps conditional energy return if you hit a dazed target with it? Conditions are already pretty much covered. Cause exhaustion on interrupt? Again there's not very much out there without creating duplicates of skills or making the ranger too much of an energy powerhouse.

Just some imba for luls:

Power Shot. If powershot hits you strike for +5 ... 17 ... 21 damage. For each five points of enegy you have, you strike for extra 1 ... 4 ... 5 damage and loose one energy point.

Or

Power Shot. If powershot hits you strike for +5 ... 17 ... 21 damage. If you have less energy than target, target is interrupted.

Or

Power Shot. If powershot hits you strike for +5 ... 17 ... 21 damage. If you are under effect of preparation, you loose 1 ... 3 ... 4 energy and you preparation duration is increased by 1 seccond for each energy point lost.

Or

Power Shot. If powershot hits you strike for +5 ... 17 ... 21 damage and +1 damage for each ally withing earshot. You loose 5 energy if there are more than 8 allies within earshot.

Luminarus · Dec 22, 2008, 02:54 PM // 14:54

Or leave it as is and buff other skills... rangers have enough in the department of dishing out damage. As well as their access to interupts. If you want more imbaness go buff something to become a decent IAS.

Power Shot. Shoot a very slow moving arrow at target foe that strikes for +50...200 damage, causes daze and blindness, and knocks down target foe for 4 seconds if it hits. You lose all energy and suffer from exhaustion, weakness, and cripple.
