Any way to make [Needling shot] work in Pvp?

Maybe [conjure flame] or [brutal weapon]?

I fooled around with it for a bit, but I couldn't really get the other half of the skill bar put together.

And it seemed I just kind of waited around for someone to get below 50%.

Discuss.

Under 50% health is far too conditional.
And the damage on it sucks.

It's really just a bad skill, a vanilla damage attack like Sloth Hunter's or Screaming Shot is much better.

Even the currently nerfed "Ranger Turret" will be better than that in all reality.
Needling Shot is really only good in Choking Gas builds, which mostly relies on stupidity.

And as Alex said, Sloth Hunter's or Screaming Shot (I prefer Screaming myself, more degen pressure.

) are much stronger.

Yeah I'm a big fan of [screaming shot] and [burning arrow]. But I'm a pretty big noob, so I think it works great!

Keep it in PvE. It's awesome with Glass, brutal, and vampiric string.

Lol.

Keep [skill]Needling Shot[/skill] in PvE. Needling Shot is primarily used by rangers who think their ~40ish DPS over a period of 20 seconds is teh leetsauce and unblockable, which it isn't.

Also, as Alex said, Needling Shot has waay too much conditionality.

lol.. my friend decided to pack that on his splinter barrage build. it was hilarious- he was like "Dude im hitting 30 dmg and im spamming it" on vent. little did he know i was the only reason we were killing the dan things =S

LOL, I've been saying that forever. People would always post builds with Needle and end the description of how to use use the build by saying "Then just needle them down" I suppose that would work in lowend PvE areas but I always laughed. Yeah 10-12 shots later they are dead and thats only if they had no healing and you didnt die yourself.

Then People would be like "But if you take Glass arrows + Conjure + FW + a Vamp String Then Needle shot is leet sauce" add a rez a self heal and a defensive stance and that leave you ONE skill to get them down below 50% health to use your "leet sauce" needle. I've never been a fan of skills you need to build your entire skill bar around just to make it it work.

The ONLY way Needle is good in PvP is stacked with Choking Gas or Incinderary Arrows maybe even Warmongers, But again it's VERY Conditional
