1 This is my personal view on how to make Tanks Dps Archers more interesting by changing weapons Any skills or numbers that I suggest come from my point of view. Some may bring small difference and some big based on how I feel that I would be fair.

2 changes to:
2H. Remove heal from Momemtum and insert minor Heroism. Add passive that soft CC target every 10th light atk.

BOW. Add stun shot active skill. 7000 8000 stamina cost. For every Bow ability slotted increase stun duration by 0.75s. (Max stun duration 2.5s) - target cannot break free.

S/B. Remove gap closer. Add passive 6k p. resist + 5k m. resist + resist 1.2k crit Dmg. Add "MomentumHealSkill, no major brutality. While skill sloted reduce WD SD by 8-10%


3 in addition.
What if we had 8-9 slots main bar? What if secondary bar had 3 slots and took 1.5 seconds to swap weapons?


4. When
should these changes be implemented? They are game changing.... people may be upset. Overall the game will become better IN MY HUMBLE OPINION. If Zos @Zos_GinaBruno people like those ideas pm me for a one sentance successful implementation tactic to minimaze customer base possible outcry.

You think the issue is that people can switch bars as they please? Why?

I personally think that if suggested changes require a rework of basic game functions like how many skills are on each bar, and how many seconds it takes to swap weapons. Then the changes are not well thought out.

Wow those are some pretty bad suggestions imo.

This would flat out kill PvP. I'm not even kidding.

You missed, "DPS" with the proposed changes to momentum.

Bow needs a redesign for it to be a viable dps weapon.
Currently it's best for ganking and support.

Then the game would become somewhat iffy for console players due to controller issues. Heck, even as PC player I really love how we have only 5+U to work with, and how the ability pre-selection can mean the difference between vistory or defeat.
Not to mention, how changing this one would mean a lot of code rewrite, for no perceptable advantage in gameplay whatsoever...

All in all, I do not exactly like the suggestions... and it looks like I am not alone in my opinion of themr value. While there are some rebalancing issues that could be valid discussion... well... any such discussion might be best held for now until we see what actually will change in the near future with the DB base game patch.

But messing with the best parts of the basic game system? Not any kind of improvement, not at all.
