Ragnar the Rock.3174:

Make it a channeled beam ala mesmer greatsword.

Problem solved.

+16

First of all sorry for my english it’s not my native language, i learned english just by playing games with a dictionary on hands
After reading over 250 post and spending some time thinking here are my thought (i take some idea from “Beta dragonhunter feedback/thoughts thread” Dirame.8521, Arricson Krei.9560, Arcaedus.7290. So a special thanks you to them)

Longbow skills

1. Puncture Shot
Increase the projectile speed and change the visual (something like a arc light or a lesser version of true shot I can’t remember who said it in the forum, but ty i really like the idea of making the aa like a arc light)

2. True Shot
increase the cast time to 1s (why, because it has the same casting time that the AA, it is feel like a better aa version in every sense)

3. Deflecting Shot :
Reduce the projectile speed by 25%, Increase the damage by 25%, increase the width by 20% (i really like the idea of destroying projectile in mid air but it is really hard to do so )

4. Symbol of Energy
increase the projectile speed 10% or 15% . (3 years later the skill hit the ground)

5. Hunter’s Ward
Reduce the casting time by 0.25. (to match barrage cast time) increase the aoe radius of the last impact to 450 (to catch people off guard)

Spear of Justice (F1)
Instant cast and revert the last change (just do it for the sake of buddha)

Wings of Resolve (F2)
increase the range to 900 or 1000 (because we want it to be like a disengage/engage skill)

Shields of Courage (F3)
Instant cast (just do it for the sake of buddha)

Shield of courage is larger and lasts longer.

My main goal with this trait is to improve the synergy with other spec, make them feel like they change your playstyle

Trap Trait will be more like a defensive playstyle (weakness + Master Trap Trait + Protection = gg, we dont need that the traps to do a lot of damage we just need that the trap make them useless)

Bow Trait will be more like a Crowd Control and DD playstyle (because people with crippled should feel the wrath of the dragon hunter. I’m just kidding! Or am I! =P, it will feel like a crippled machine if you manage to maintain them crippled, personally i really like the master longbow trait option 1 and gm longbow option 1)

Virtue Trait will be more like a guerrilla playstyle (this trait line is for people that dont like LB or Trap)

Traps

Light’s Judgement
Duration: 8S -> 10s
Interval: 1s -> 2s
Revealed: 1s -> 2s
Vulnerability: 2s -> 5s

(I really like this skill but the Vulnerability duration it just really weak)

azureflame or chaos
