I got quite angry with you when I saw the changes that had been made on the skill Strike as One, Thursday, December 11, 2008. I suppose arena.net made the functionality change because they thought that more people will use the skill and that not many used it as it was, not because it was to good because then they could just have nerfed it. For me that skill was the ground stone to my great PvE build that I have used with great success for about a half a year, which now is ruined.

Have also tested the new Strike as One but concluded that it was to bugged to use as well, sometimes the pet will not teleport to the foe at all and sometimes it is teleporting to me instead.

Has always thought it was fun to play with a pet but this really sucks. Rangers have had no problem before on spreading Cripple and Bleeding, why bring another skill that does the same.

As the build is obsolete it doesnt matter if i post it here, This is the build I used with great success:

Beast Mastery=11+1+2 Expertise=8+1 Marksmanship=11+1

Strike as One, “I Am The Strongest”, Heket's Rampage, Call of Haste, Read the Wind, Companionship, Comfort Animal, Charm Animal

With Drago's Vampiric Flatbow or Swiftscale's Shortbow

Which made about 65-75 dps.

Please change back the skill as it was.

If the skill sees more playtime, especially in PvP, than it did before, than I'm pretty sure that you're not getting your wish.

Strike as One was underpowered by many other elites/builds before the nerf, and the change gives it a somewhat new functionality. I support changes to skills for new options and new playstyles, especially when it's underused skills that are changed.

More qq from people who think their "great" unused, crap elite was actually nerfed when it was actually buffed significantly.

It's like asking to revert Peace And Harmony back to the way it was because YOUR build(you, 1 in thousands of people) is now ruined.

meh, I agree Strike As One was better in its former state, but it still was a subpar elite then.

Please name one circumstance where this elite is worth taking.

So you thought of a build that no one else did, and just because no one else thought of it, it doesn't matter whether your build is ruined or not?
Ok, the OP's build isn't exactly "great," but your reasoning is very... flawed...

Realization: Your build wasn't good, it was the henchmen and heroes that did all the killing.

Degen-covered cripple. Instant bodyblock. Pet positioning that works. Pet can bleed different target than the one you cripple if you want. This skill stacks with Preparations and attack skills (no bows required!), enabling you to abuse it in several ways. Really, this skill is destined to be abused, because it looks like it is designed to be abused.

* Cripshot alternative.
* Thumper that can also cripple. (!!!)
* Strong on Packhunter.

BM rangers might add nice chunk to pressure in GvG with pet randomly teleporting all over the place to annoy unprotted people.
