Level req Skills

Hi

I think it was not a good idea with new skills which will only work on high lvl mobs if they are maxed.
EG: Shield bash, Grapsing root, etc etc.

These skills will be totally useless on level 150.
To use Shieldbash on level 150 mobs i will need to put 30 stat points into it.
IDK how much eneryg costs that will cause, but I guess around 150, maybe even more.
SO these skills will be totally useless, as nobody can pay they extreme high energy costs.

It would better if these skills will work on all mobs, but as higher they are as smaller is the chance the get "evaded".

Ya I made a similar post a while back. I hate these skills that require loads of skill points just to be used on OW mobs. IMO skill points should only increase the effectiveness of the skill. I liked how bolas, camo, etc. were before the update. Now I just see these types of skills as a huge waste of points.

Bolas is most certainly not a huge waste of points. Extremely useful in more ways than you may think...

Camo on the other hand, I have always considered a waste of points however, now, for some, it may be necessary to spend the points to max it out.

The bad thing about is, that if your a high lvl (eg lvl 140), you need shieldbash on lvl 28+.
If its on lvl 20 its tottaly useless for you.
The game forces you to put all points in their or nothing...

I beg to differ Bolo is a bottomless pit that I droped quickly after coming to OW. It does not even work properly if you dont have a camo ring or sink more energy into the camo skill pit either way energy waste of time. Admin/Beta testers have basically reduced the bolo to running up and tying the eyeball shoe laces togather by getting pummeled, and not to mention having to spend 50 energy to bolo a eye then truning around and having to spend the same amount to bolo something 20 lvls lower. Utterly pointless and probably the biggest muff by admin and beta testers, they have reduced the ranger into a bonified warrior with a bow.

totally agree with you,

on my ranger i use bolas, rapid shot, light heal and sharp shot

but with the new layout i have to max most of them go get good results meaning i have to not use skill because i cant spair the points, it be better if we got an extra point every 5 lvls or something or even add it to item shop or something because the game has become to reliable on them.

- Bolas is amazingly useful and if it's not working for you then I assure you, you are doing something wrong. I do not have a bolas ring and before I maxed bolas, it was just as useful as it is now minus the mob level cap.

Just figure out what your doing wrong, admin doesn't need to fix anything with bolas.
