Guild Wars 2

Ricochet: Pistol shots have 5% chance to bounce to an additional target.

Lame, boring and underpowered in my honest opinion. Why not remake this trait into something useful? Pistols already lack any AoE, so why don’t we give them some with a trait like this:

Piercing Rounds: Pistol shots have a 20% chance to pierce targets in a line.

OR

Why not remake Ankle Shots: 60% chance to cripple an enemy for 3 seconds (10-second cooldown). Let’s face it; 3 seconds is next to nothing and on a ten second cool down? Maybe if the cooldown was 5 seconds I’d find it even worth considering over the other damage dealing abilities.

Let’s remake this one into a different kind of Piercing Rounds;

Piercing Rounds: Pistol shots have a 60% chance to penetrate targets in a line on critical hits.

This is fun — no, I dare say way more fun than “Oh look, a chance to place a condition on an enemy.” With a trait like this, you actually have to line yourself up and strive to keep enemies in a line, which would be fun, involving, and interactive. Way better than a crappy, 3 second cripple.

Anyone feel the same?
