So i was thinking of a revamp that would help longbow/power rangers.
This is what i came up with so we can have some survivability and still do some nice damage.

Skill #1
Take out the range penalty and take the damage dealt from 500-1k range and increase it by 10%~15%, Increase projectile speed 15-20%, After you shoot the target 3 times, target gets a debuff that increases the damage of your next longbow skill by 10%~15%(rapid fire/barrage would get increase of 10%~15%% to all arrows being shot) So debuff would display on the target one auto-attack will add a stack. Stacks will refresh its duration when a new stack is applyed lasting 10 seconds.

Skill #2
Rapid fire- 8 second cooldown, 3 second channel, applys 10 stacks vulnerability on first arrow that contacts for 6 seconds.

Skill #3
New skill* Grapple shot~Targetable skill has 900 range/1200 if traited, 15-20 second cooldown, instant cast ,Ranger shoots an arrow that pulls him/her to where the arrow was shot. Also evades attack on use.
Now i was thinking maybe the evade would work right from the start(no movement can be done) or maybe not until the arrow contacts the surface and starts the pull but if having this the ranger would still be able to dodge roll and move. Also maybe if you hit an enemy with it also can stun/damage(Good for trying to catch someone and then switch to melee if thats your playstyle)

Skill #4
Point blank shot~ i think this skill is still alright with the new grapple skill you can use this to give yourself even more room between you and your opponent.

skill #5
Barrage~ This skill is still very nice does good damage if you can keep the people within it and its also are only real aoe skill… So i decided this should be on a 15 second cooldown. Everyone else has a lot more aoe then us and can it can be done in a quicker succession and a more reliable way(single shot aoe) instead of like barrage were its ticking damage.

This is what i would like the longbow revamp to be i’m also like up for any criticism. (What you like/don’t like and give ideas on what you might like or maybe upgrades to this remake)

There is already topic about it (2 actually), why do you think you are special and need separate topic for you suggestion?
No offence, but it’s just boring.

No channeled kill shot, not impressed.

I’d like Point Blank Shot (skill #4) to get a range increase to 1200 and 1500 traited. If it hits a target beyond the current max range of the skill (600 untraited), it becomes a knockdown instead of a knockback.

ive seen quite a few threads regarding this but i do think it would be cool to see a trait or something for bows that give you 3 seconds of quickness after each dodge roll. something like that mixed with the pet swap quickness could be pretty neat!
