Well, those three examples are all commonly-maxed skills. I'm talking about things like blessing of amazon, final attack, etc. that the vast majority of people don't max (at least nowadays for FA).

It takes me 3-5 shots to kill mobs in TT and Skelys with maxed Pierce.
I think Blessing of Amazon should give more like 100HP per point, not 20HP.
None of the rest of the stuff I have is really any good =/ I have a hard time believing that you can take 5 charged pierces and not kill a regular monster.

You have a point but I still dont think that nexon should refuse to make a skill more useful simply because in the past most people didn't touch it. In fact, that should be even MORE reason to buff said skill.

well if they do change some of the lower level skills it's all bad for my bowmaster. unmaxed inferno, 0 thrust, 12 final attack (yes 12), 1 focus, 10 arrow blow. yay for pretty much screwed up 1st-2nd job builds (3rd job is debateable). This should be fun...

I wouldn't care, if the change implemented was significant enough. And it would be in nexon's best interest to buff unused skills, and make us spend SP resets.
If they made shield mastery or armor crash even remotely useful, I would reset shout/mp recover points I think.

Or they could give us quests that give SP rewards like Evan has.

Yay I like the increase in CL's dmg  (and blizzard too of course). Also finally meteor is stronger than blizzard. I was always wondering why it wasn't. Ice demon is still meh
I wonder, for the BM changes, why they make inferno burn and phoenix not. Maybe next patch? Anyways the increase in bomb's dmg makes me not regret skipping inferno so I'm still happy. The 3% chance to 1hitko is pretty lol. I wonder if it would make alot of difference...

I hope they make some useful changes to MM next update, the ones so far are laughable.

Perhaps that is supposed to tell you something
Hooray for inferno now being even more useless when compared to bomb arrow!

Pierce cooldown reduced, well that's more than I could've asked for really, although if charge walking wasn't useless already it's now pretty much completely gone. I'd like to see the new snipe skill tables, but really 'slightly reduced at lower levels of the skill', are they stupid? A one hit/200k damage skill with a 240 second cooldown is absolutely just as useless if it had a 235 second cooldown. The whole lower level snipe cooldown system needs a complete overhaul. Even at level 1 the cooldown should be 120 seconds max (although I'd say 60 is a better number).
3% to one hit a frozen monster with strafe, eh? Maybe if it's calculated per arrow, it has a chance of making any sort of difference, but I doubt it. If it has some really cool animation though I won't mind if it's not actually useful.
Archmage changes look nice, I'll now seriously consider making one once we get this balance patch, as a 'just for fun' character. Maybe they'll give them HS in the next balance patch?

If it happens to be 3% per arrow, as I said in the other thread, that isn't too bad, makes it a 11.5% chance of ohko

Everything I see about the strafe skill tells me it's per arrow.

I would assume so, everything else [that I know of] about it is calculated per arrow, so it's a good assumption me thinks, thanks for the extractions again.

3% kill per strafe arrow is BS. i dont even spam strafe except at bosses and that wont work there.
5 secs lv 1 snipe is a slap in the face.
i guess better pierce is nice and so is stronger IA.
i am still feeling down that sairs and pallys god awesome boosts and i got a pile of cold dog crap.

Inferno is still useless, burn is a horrificly useless effect, and now bomb arrow got made stronger, it hits MUCH more than inferno on average,a nd only ~17/18% less when it has advantage. If a BM has a mob skill on a key stilll, (yaright), this just solidfies it should be bomb arrow.

Can anyone post the new Venom skill table for Shads? I'm especially interested if lvl1 Venom got boosted.

Pretty obvious that the strafe change was meant to help 3rd job, not 4th job.

Feels like part of an Aran's Tempest skill concept got implemented into freeze and strafe, and yeah that part is pretty useless for higher leveled MMs. While training, we rarely use strafe anymore, or at least I do. Mobbing with piercing, using snipe on lone targets, and then using strafe on already weakened monsters that would ko them in a hit anyway. But this probably isn't the last update; so we'll see what comes next.
