Return of Reckoning

It's strange that it can deal damage from a distance.
⇒SW Nerf
⇒Understood

BW/SORC buffed ranged damage.
⇒Because they have little utility and are fragile.
⇒Understood

Magus buffed 100ft ranged attack.
⇒But they have a lot of utility and high defense.
⇒Why?

As everyone expected, after the patch, Skirmish became useless. It's useless in wide-area SCs.

Scout's Festering Arrow is also difficult to use and practically impossible to implement. Since you can't even apply DoTs unless you're within 65ft, having a 100ft Scout skill is pointless.

The developers might have intentionally caused the target to be untargeted when using Shadowsteap. I'm starting to lose faith in the developers.

Think about it in a very simple way.

Who would be happy to have an MDPS walking towards them who can't even stealth, can only perform fragile single-target attacks, and doesn't have much offensive power?

Their tanks and healers would be burdened and unhappy.

They've become even weaker.
Whose opinions are they even listening to?

Here my quick feedback:
- Scout SW: should be fine I think. Gotta see how they do on live.
- Skirimish SW: not fine. The AOE nerfs were really heavy. mSH feels a lot better, tankier with great tools and higher AOE damage/pressure. SW doesn't feel right. Please have another look.

Based on the feedback the team has received thus far, several adjustments have been made. You can find these below.

Shadow Warrior
- Festering Arrow: No longer able to cast on the move.

- Grim Slash ...

The concept of stance dancing is interesting, but currently it seems to be nothing more than the developers' self-indulgence.

- The forced stance change to use specific skills hinders smooth gameplay. This makes the character one step slower than other characters. And it's not even particularly ...
