Maruader's shot O.O!

At 15MM this does +35dmg!!! disables all your non attacking skills for 5 seconds.

That is so friking crazy. Imagine this in a spike build. Ranger's lay down their spirits.

Winnowing, fav winds.

Melandru's arrows. elite. Causes foes to bleed. If it strikes an enchanted foe it does +30dmg at max Ws

it does about +23 at my WS rightnow.

So let's calculate the damage so far.

+4dmg
+6dmg
+35dmg
+23dmg if it hits an enchanted foe. so many enchanted foes out there. GO CRAZY!!

and that's without calculating the normal damage you do with an arrow.

This is going to be abused so bad.

I smell nerf.

Don't forget the +17 life steal from Order Of The Vampire ^^

+5 Vampiric Bowstring

Um....what else? I'm tired right now, so I can't think of any more. But this is going to make Ranger Spike crazy ^^. The +23 is IF the foe is enchanted though...good for taking out soft targets like Elementalists who should have an Attunement though ^^. Anyways, seems like a good build so far.

Maybe Ritualist with Nightmare weapon.. +17-45.. =P

That is pretty ridiculous. It probably will be nerfed.

You do realize that most Ranger spikers use Read the Wind as their preparation and any good ranger spike build brings a R/Me to strip foes just before the spike...the +30 means nothing if they have Barrier and Bond on them

Don't be so quick to wave the nerfing sticks. Consider the damage being done by warriors (and even mesmers!!).

And isn't it Elite?

And tacking on damage dealt by other skills doesn't make it unbalanced.

Is it a 1/4 second shot?

Checked, and its not an Elite.

And no it's not a 1/4 sec shot.

1/2 second? jk. and where is this skill i cant find it on skills list (maybe im messed up) or it coming in factions?

factions skill

while FW is up its fine but when gets taken down its alot easier to infuse because the infuser can see the target being spiked- althou on paper 2 rangers can spike a 60 armour target

Why would a +35 Dmg skill get nerfed when Executioners Strike stay as it is?

I don't see how it's going to change Ranger Spiking at all.
