Bolas should have the same cooldown as entangle

Based in new findings my proposition is now this:

Bolas cool-down increased to 1.5x as long. Entangle cool-down reduced by half.


See posts below for reasons.

----------------

Entangle's cooldown is 4x that of bolas. This means there is always a lot of downtime when the monster is not entangled. Currently you can string bolas' together and have a perpetually incapacitated mob.

The cooldown time for bolas just needs to be longer, double what it currently is. Entangles cooldown needs to be reduced by half. Both skills have comparable effectiveness so they should have equal cooldown.

Discuss.

To make any skill the same as entangle is just foolish. I could see to make the whiners happy doubling the recast time of bolas but you want it 4x as it currently is, seems more like you trying to take a dig at rangers than actually trying to improve the game in any way .

1st a mages cry and make their class op now they feel the need to attack other classes.

Compare bolas to entangle and you will see which one is overpowered.

I am a ranger and I use both.

Ps: ok your right it is 4x, so entangle cooldown needs to be sped up double and bolas cooldown needs to slow down double.

Then they would both be equal and balanced.

Entangle's cooldown is about double of bolas. This means there is always some downtime when the monster is not entangled. Currently you can string bolas' together and have a perpetually incapacitated mob.

The cooldown time for bolas just needs to be longer, like that of entangle.

I think rangers should keep there bolas skill as it is as it gets evaded a lot of the time so I don't like this idea personally(maybe its cause I like bolas as a skill) but would rather see entangled have more of an effect an shorter cooldown

Well evasion is reduced if you have more dex. I don't think it is evaded more than any other skill. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Ahh I get it now.

Bolas has no stat bonus. Entangle has a Dexterity bonus. So entangle will land more than bolas.

But still... Bolas is still way more powerful than entangle. It is also OP compared to other classes monster debuff skills.

Now I will concede to this:

Bolas cool-down needs to be raised by 1.5x and entangles reduced by half.

This would still make bolas have less cool-down than entangle, and i think both would be properly balanced.

Don't post changes to classes you know nothing about, maybe? Or at least to skills, that this very thread has shown your ignorance of...


Sorry bro, but this thread is just plain messed up.
