Perhaps they could make a combination of Read the wind and Seeking Arrows. Arrows travel twice the speed, deal additional damage and cannot be blocked or evaded.

Its not exactly unusual for them to simply combine old skills when they run out of ideas afterall.

That would be ridiculous. The duration on such a skill would have to be trash or it would be completely game breaking.

How would that been an elite preparation be game breaking? A ranger spike is defeated by a large number of things beyond block/evade. Shields Up still gives a large armour bonus.

And yet the fact that Choking Gas can hit regardless through blind is perfectly normal. Your blind, for all you know the arrow could be 20m from the target, yet its still perfectly accurate to spread choking gas around them?

Besides how is this game breaking yet Order of Apostasy isn't clearly the most unbalanced skill in the game?

A good Rspike deals with these already, without much trouble, as do all good builds.

You would have one of those on your Rspike with this uber over-powered unstoppable spike.

Rapid Shot
Rapidly fire 5 consecutive shots at target foe, each shot doing 50% less damage from the last (going from 100%, 50%, 25%, 12.5%, 6.25%).

Not too much damage. Just thought it would be interesting to see all those arrows flying rapidly.

Actually that could be a ton of damage, and quite a good spike skill, depending on how you define rapid.

Oh, and I take back what I said about having an OoA on your Rspike team with that Seeking/RtW skill... you wouldn't need it, since the other team has basically no protection versus your spike anyway.

It couldn't fire faster than say a needle shot spread, else that would be insane.

But that would be a very powerful skill paired with Orders, Spirits and preps. I'm not sure if the declining damage would be enough to balance it. It would have to strip preperations in my mine, like barrage.

How about making only the first shot affected by preperations? For example, if the first shot does 20 damage (combined with the damage added by preperation), then all the following shots will all be calculated from this number, doing a total of 20 + 10 + 5 + 2.5 + 1.25 = 38.75 damage. Slightly more powerful than Dual Shot (which has both arrows affected by preperation). If increasing the decline from 50% to 60%, then the damage will be 20 + 8 + 3.2 + 1.28 + 0.512 = 32.992, lowering it down to normal skill category instead of elite

How about this

Snatch Arrows

Touch Target Foe and steal their preparation. This skill disables all your preparations (expertise)

And, if completed, your ranger says "Gotcha!"
Nice idea though..

Blurring Speed - For 10 seconds your pet moves 50% faster but does 25% less damage.

I couldn't really think of much. Anyways, I like this thread alot, gives me some hopes for Nightfall. Ghostly Arrow sounds like something that would be very fun to use, maybe ANET could incorperate it into a preperation even.

Rather than a shout...

Head Shot! {E}
5 energy, set cast time slower than normal attack

Elite Bow Attack. If Head Shot hits, you strike for +xx damage, and it results in a critical hit.

or

Fear the Headshot! {E}
10 energy

Elite preperation. For 24 seconds your arrows deal +15 damage, and have an addition +xx% to deal a critical hit.
