The only other skill that has a major distance requirement that is also dmg is storm touch. Rogues have no such hindrances, and as we are mirror classes why praytell should we. tbh they could get rid of the pin down for 5 seconds I don't overly care. if your in a crowded TINY room trying to solo AND make ur longshot work... lemme tell ya OTM it doesn't work. its one of the rangers best dmg skills. Please lets fix this so we can actually have good dmg!

Agreeed

Here's a little scene. I'm kiting a boss like, say, Brutus. Bolas wears off, he is instantly in front of me. I bolas again and tart moving away. A spare animation of me firing a bow pops up. I don't move. OP attack. Bam, I'm dead.

I hate this. If the spare animation at least did ANY damage, it might be a bit better, but it doesn't, and I'm dry-firing my bow (Not healthy for the bow) and dying.

Bolas can be effective but vit is more reliable. That said I agree that is another problem we have with bolas and yet another reason why I don't use the skill.

Same here.

+1 to insta longshot

I am thoroughly annoyed with all the ranger set up at the minute but the thing that really bothers me more than anything and I am not sure if its just limited to rangers.....is this stupid mechanic that locks you in combat when you want to move because mob or boss is getting to close and almost every time i get whacked due to this delay in movement. Its a ranger, its meant to be ranged and mobile! If that got fixed I would be a happy person indeed. I don't even care if it interupts a skill i was using, if I want to move my character that should be instant unless I am under some rooting effect.

This is what I was talking about!!! OTM FIX THIS

Is it crazy that I am considering dropping longshot? I cast the skill and can't move or fire another arrow when the mob is pinned...plus can only use the skill once in a fight. Would I be better off maxing sharp and double instead?

Max sharpen or double...

That's another problem.. OTM should remove the distance req on longshot. I don't care if it's called "long"shot, but it's our best dmg skill and it shouldn't have a distance requirement on it.

No its not, it means your still 100% sane. Yes until they fix this skill you will be better off. Sharp shot/Sharpen for dex build, Dble shot to 10 lvls above your own if ur str.

THATS WHAT IM SAYIN AND I BEEN SAYIN WHAT IM SAYIN FOR ALMOST A WHOLE YEAR! ... Anyway OTM should just look at the description.

It says it is a skill "WITH THE ABILITY TO" hit something at a long distance.

This does NOT mean we should only be able to hit things far away... And yes OTM is our best dmg skill WHICH WE CANT USE BUT MOREN ONCE!!!!!! If you require a trade-off of 'power' just remove the pin function frankly IDC. Just don't reduce the dmg or no one will even use the skill anymore. ABOLISH the range requirement. If needed I will be more than happy to make a petition AND posting a link on my sig AND stating to abolish it also on my sig and as I post on a lot of forums in this forum itd be seen ALOT and im sure more than one person would be happy to add that portion of my sig to their sig.
