Trial by Pain skill for Witch Hunter

[lordnavar]

After the recent patch the skill got a change that it cannot inflict aoe damage anymore.

From my perspective the skill lost its usefulness. Damage base speaking the dps output was low but it had its usefulness in aoe farming and in pvp applying the bullet debuff in multiple enemies.

It also could be combined with sanctified bullets tactic and dragon gun to give some some substain in xping/farming.

Problem in dungeons. Cant not aoe the mobs. And in my opinion investing high in confession tree should give you the option.

The skills range could not be abused because you need be close (5ft) to gather enough accusations to use it. The skill has channeling and we know that channeling skills aren’t the best because you loose the autoattacks and need to break the channeling to use another skill.

Also for a witch hunter that invest high in the confession tree, to hit from 5 feet then get distance use your range abilities makes a very enjoyable playstyle.

Most Witch hunters in server invest mainly points in judgment tree, and you see all play with the same skills and almost the same tactics. A different option would be a good thing.

My suggestion.
Give aoe ability in the skill again. Or increase its damage output so the players feel it is worth it to play confess as main tree and use trial by pain instead of spamming absolution.
