"Volley: Increased the cost of this ability and its morphs by approximately 30%."

There wasn't a developer comment on the change to explain why there is an approximately 30% cost increase. Can you please tell us why this decision was made?

    Bow is pretty much a back bar support weapon, so why the nerf?

    Just part of the goal for characters to always be short on resources. Nerf buffs, nerf regen and increase resource costs.
    and then the parrot said, "must be the water mines green too."

    I could be wrong but I never thought it was that strong of a skill until I got the vMA bow. Logically they wouldn't balance skills around a weapon the majority of players don't have, but logical balance decisions isn't the first thing that pops to mind when I think of ZoS.

    I know that ZOS want to seriously hurt resources, but do they really think that a stamina AOE skill needed a nerf?

    VMA weapons are supposed to be powerful but i ndeed they are not much.

    Volley is out performing in PVE even with VMA bow!

    Its just a good aoe skill like others!

    As amazed as grouping with an cp600 pet sorcerer who only do light attack and never activate pet.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    I seem to have a curse on my main character - whichever direction I develop it toward, the nerf usually follows... :/
    I'm running out of ideas.
    But I'd really like to know how will the game be better with these arrows shot into the knee...
