The NEW problem with Capture Signet...

And here's what it is... certain bosses that have skills that you want trigger mission end sequences when you kill them. Now, with the recent change to Capture Signet, you cannot capture certain skills. This is most notable with Markis in The Iron Mines of Moladune. Now Rangers cannot get Barrage until they get to Abaddon. What would've been better than altering Capture Signet was simply adding functionality to it. Make the "Capture After Death" ability an addition, not a necessity. While capturing while they were alive was somewhat troublesome, it's preferable to not being able to capture the skill at all. Sound off if any other skills are now impossible to obtain because of the change to Capture Signet.

I didn't even think of that. I was just thinking about how hard it was for me to get skills like Life Barrier and Charge. Skills that were used by the boss when I was out of range, but your concern is an undeniable valid one. Hm, better for some things, worse for others.

I actually didn't realize they were required to be dead to use the capture signet. It should be able to be used both ways.

Why not apply the KISS principle and let you capture any one skill from a boss at any time?

Yes, definately. I agree with it needing to be both ways, because some of the skills you may come across at the Facets, are hard to capture because it's hard luring the facets with said skills away from the portal, and if you get too close to them, you trigger the scene where you enter the portal. This has happened to me multiple times now...and I guess I just get to wait to be infused, do Thunderhead Keep(the lack of IQ on that mission is appalling) and get to the end volcano islands.

Yes Grenths balance is hard to get because one idiot always comes to close to portal
