That makes no sense. Show me the math, because Blizzard, which deals more damage, inflicts KB, slow, and a major to hit debuff is on a 170 second timer.
Their design formulas are kinda crap anyways given they dont even take animation time into account.
DPA needs to be taken into account, and that it wasnt shows just how bad the OG devs were at balance. The damage design formula should be reworked to have animation time plus recharge and set the baseline at 1 second. Alternately I'll take that damage on a 50 second recharge and use it once a spawn once slotted. It beats the "never" it will sit at otherwise.
Putting 1 point of energy damage in Disruption Arrow. Now you dont need to make a macro, because its AE, or have a trash power on your bar.
Why are you so opposed to lighting it, if its so easy to do?
And have to make a macro to target the fucking thing. Can we just do away with the middleman? I've yet to hear an argument about WHY you guys are so against this QOL change.
You wouldnt even know they are using an invisible jetpack unless you intentionally went looking for a way to break your "immersion".
This is simply about being contrarian and imposing your own tastes on others when it impacts you in no reasonable way.
What's great? The jaw dropping 5% to-hit debuff? The slow recharging AE slow that will be resisted and provides negligible benefits? The single target hold with a pitiful duration? The single target immobilize? Rad's toggles essentially do more in 2 powers than TA does as a set.
5/9 of the powers are the same or significantly better in Tactical Arrow. Time to face the truth - TA is a weak set. All it has going for it is oil slick, and Burn on that cooldown isnt impressive.
Then follow the rules you want to impose on others. Use DO's or TO's. Its a waste of resources to create this for the tiny handful of people who want the game like it was for a miniscule slice of its existence. IO's have been around longer than they havent.
Or maybe youjust dont like COH outside of nostalgia goggles from when the game first started before you got bored by the gameplay itself.
I'm going off playing it. That's the Illusion part pulling double duty. Try it on a defender and you'll see what a jank ass set it is compared to dark, radiation, time, cold, poison, etc.
Also, the ability to solo an AV doesnt mean it is a good support set. Most of the game ISNT soloing AV's, and TA provides mediocre team support.
Sorry, no. TA is weak by the numbers. It's powers do one or two things, resulting in long setup for little payoff. It has been weak since release, and kept crappy by those too enamored by bows to see the poor mechanics of the set. It's debuffs are worse than radiation's, and radiation does other stuff.
Look out for that single target immobilize!
