Okay guys, i have a level 53 ranger by the name of TheRedHerring on the world Danu, and i have a problem with the skill barbed shot. I have it at level 5, and I'm not sure whether i should totally kill it or keep leveling it up. Please help! -TheRedHerring

I had about 10 skill points in it before I killed it. Im a dex built ranger, and its doing the same amount of dmg it was when I had 10 points in it. :lol:

no do not "kill" it that skill hits hard and does over time damage think about if you used it bolased then went to heal yourself, your STILL doing damage to the mob- i have it maxed.

I disagree with ya there pash yes it does dmg over time but quick shot or whatever it is can do more dmg quicker than big dmg followed by lower dmg attacks and I hav a ranger all I'm probaly gonna use is bolas light heal camo and quick shot thingy :)

I suppose you have a point there... but I dont use bolas, and my light heal is uninterruptable atm. Plus, when I go back to auto, the mob's health decreases alot because of the auto I was doing while I was healing. :)

You dont see that you can use them both at the same time?

I really wouldn't waste points in it. Well, it didn't work for me.

The first shot has the same dmg as your original base dmg even at level one. (Rend works the same way)
