What is the design intent behind Bite?

"Bite your foe for massive damage"

But it only does the damage of a mediocre auto-attack, and nothing else it seems? Specifically, it does the exact same damage as Ricochet from Axe.

What is the design intend behind this skill?

Lol!6 char!

the short answer?they've just given up when they were halfway through the skills

that is also the reason why bird swoop travels barely 400y instead of 1200or canine leaps and knockdowns travel 130y instead of 400the list goes on

dev: i'm sick and tired of adding new player skills for every pet skill.-can't be bothered for a proper scaling formula-copy-paste

But the copy+paste version of Bite does more damage than this. Devs had to personally tweak the values. There has to be a reason why this is the way it is?

if the dmg formula for proper level scaling or power scaling is not in there it would explain the weak numbers. that was my point with the copy paste statement.Just to make it easier to understand. If you copy paste something, but the reference goes to 'pet power' then the skill won't find any 'pet power' on the ranger and work with a null reference or an error.Instead it needs to look for however the variable is called for 'player power'

Well of Calamity and Gravity Well are also "massive damage".

This. And this right here IS the truth. Too much to think about, not enough time to think things through. Expect this one to last for a LONG time....

It's just sad that they have added so many new skills that are completely useless right out of the box when a number tweak would have made them good. If you were doing this, wouldn't you have just doubled the number from the dagger AA or something, so it has at least some reason to press the button?

it's because you give a wimpy open-handed slap. How much do you really expect such a pathetic attack to deal?

It would be better if they give this skill mroe damage and something like teleport to target in both versions (beastmode and petskill) Just a single target damage is really underwhelming for such a skill. But the most beastmode/pet skills are really underwhelming :dissapointed:
