Patch Changes

[Ruvanal]

Hi,

Any of the hunters out there want to take a moment from "testing" ( ;) ) and address this?

Next time you are around Chaku we can go out and you can see some shooting there. Just going to level 6 he has used over 400 rounds of light shot in fighting. Typically he can get 3 shots off before having to melee the melee only opponents. If he is taking on spell caster or ranged opponent the rate of usage climbs dramatically. If I had a tank that could hold the distance, then I would also expect to be using up a lot of amunition then too. As such, I am looking at having a rather copious supply of amunition with on a regualr basis. Also, I had already planned taking engineering to help supply my own needs for ammo. I figured that I could get the leather goods from one of the other guild members that pursed the leather crafting line.

Now for the warriors or rogues or others that are just using the guns/bows for pulling, I would suggest sticking with the regular bags since it will likely be that you can only get off 1 or 2 shots anyway before the target is only you for melee.

It also looks like the guns have had their DPS reduced to about 3/4 of what is was prior to the patch. In addition the damage value of the shot for guns is now listed as a bonus to the DPS instead of an addition to the min-max damage. For example pre patch the mithril slugs were 11-11 damage bonus but are now listing at 7.5 DPS bonus.
