Speaking from PvE experience, i just cant understand the reason Ricochet is 20 points in Trickery.
I’m guessing it’s meant to help pistol/dagger condi builds spread out there conditions (keeping ArenaNet’s philosophy that condition is aoe, direct dmg is single target), but it just seems to me that the bow does it so much better. It’s not 50% of the time, it hits 5 targets, and even has a nice combo built in.
I can see this trait being used in a pistol/pistol direct dmg build to give you a little ranged aoe, because as a thief you don’t really have good aoe (direct dmg) except dagger storm. But in this situation you are forced to go 20 points in Trickery, with gives you condition dmg, something you don’t need.
It just seems like this trait should bee in Deadly Arts, and maybe 10 points. Like this you can get the condition duration if your playing pistol/dagger, and you get the power if you play pistol/pistol.
Maybe I’m not seeing something here and the trait is fine the way it is.
