Kinda hard to use the Pure AR tactic when in a party. Puppet is almost required because of how the gobies like to fly everywhere, you can't keep a uniform mob when other people are on the map.

Heck, I'm still wondering why a lot of Snipers refuse to use the Pure-AE tactic. Blizzard sucks for damage, they should be doing what Rangers do.

we give i a little dmg for tons of control, if you ever been at the bottom of a gobie party you know how those frackers like to fly up as soon as the house breaks. the blizzard will keep them within range and get them killed.

when soloing, the dmg isnt as crappy as you think, i remember at some point it took me 1 blizzard and 2 AE to kill the mob, or 3 AR. so it was the same, however with blizzard it was 100% profit. hell i remember doing 1 hour of gobies with 10 hp pots.

blizzard is awesome, stable and doesnt suck as much as you want to think. it gives snipers the mob control MM are "famous" for early on. now i agree some people abuse it and spam it or use it on monsters they can 2-3 hit, now that is a waste.
