[Shadow Warrior] Skirmisher tree changes.

Post#1 » Sat Sep 09, 2017 7:11 pm

1. Identify the issue
Shadow Warrior is a very simple class at the current state with a little variety of builds. Such thing as "Stance dancing" barely exists because of the mandatory of the Skirmish stance/build. So the main issue is low diversity and little use of Scout and Assault trees.

2. Explain why it's an issue
Powerful draw - this tactic takes everything. It must be picked almost always. Just a core thing. But it is placed quite high in the tree so no matter you want it or not, you have to spend lots of points in the Skirmish tree to get it (Of course if you want to be a good player with a good positioning. Caught and killed SW doesn't deal dmg -> useless for a group). But I believe that things can be changed in a very simple way. Just some swaps.

3. Propose a viable solution to the problem
So the solution is quite simple:

Firstly, swap of Powerful Draw with Keen Arrowheads (Red pointer). This would be such a wonderful change, it will open new possibilities for different builds and will let us spend more points into other trees. Also it won't nerf current Skirmish build at all, it still will be viable.
But I think that the trade should be fair (Green pointer). We had such position of skills back in time when only T2 was available, but it was a little nerf/tweak. This time it will be a payment for the possible diversity and I believe it is a good and fair trade.
So the final form of the tree will look like this:

These changes won't buff Skirmish but will bring more viable builds in a group play.
I do believe that it is possible to give SW other place in a group than just RKD and Heal-debuff bot. I hope these changes would help it and we'll see more interesting builds in small-scale and open rvr. Let's give it a try!

EDIT after 22/09/2017 patch. I still insist on moving Powerful Draw tactic. Refreshed both pictures.

Declining. Powerful Draw is a very strong tactic and deserves being that high in Skirmish tree.
