Proposal for changes SW

For discussion

In the current environment, the game has 2 trees that are either not used or used very rarely is a path of Scout and Assault.
In general, the SW is now used only as a machine for getting an additional chance to crit or gang spec range knockdown with heal debaff and AoE Lilith, ie mainly as a Skirmisher.
In fact, there is no variation in the use of class.

I have a proposal for improving the Scout and Assault path.

Path of Assault.
1. Sweeping Slash - remove the cd to be able to assist slayer in the RVR and transferred to a branch instead of Exploit Weakness (13 pt). Exploit Weakness put in place Sweeping Slash (9 pt)
2. Draw Blood do with AoE effects by 40 feet in front of SW (bind to assault stance)
3. Counterstrike same, do with AoE effects by 40 feet in front of SW
4. Hunter’s Fervor - add 5 seconds to the time of action (20 sec) and + 5% AP recovery value (25% total)

Reasoning
These changes allow the use of SW as a AoE meleDD in conjunction with slayer and would make a variation of the game for SW


Path of the Scout
1. When using Scout stance to make an attack distance for skills Path of the scout + 40 feet (140 total) instead of the current 10%. (Due to changes in the Magus and of engineers, add 40 feet would be a fair decision, because now the SW and SH can not compete in a range.)
2. Steady Aim - bind to scout/assault stance, remove the increase in the time of building up skills, may be increase the cooldown to 1 minute.
3. Flame Arrow - add elemental resistance debuff such as a 250-350 with maximum pumping path of the scout. It helps to mix SW with BW like a good choise.
4. Acid Arrow - reduce casting speed by 0.5 seconds (1 sec total) and increase the cooldown to 10 seconds

Reasoning
At the moment, SW is weakest RDD in aggregate survival, inflicted damage, utility for party, using path of the scout. These changes allow you to change a number of key moments in the perception of the SW and increase its usefulness

There will probably be an .ab ex for SW, so we should wait until then for any proposals regarding these classes.
