I don't know about this change, it's certainly easier to use now as you don't have to worry about being at the right distance. Seems like a fair trade off with moving targets being harder to hit for it generally being easier, especially as it couples so well with Spiritcrush (SB 4), slows them and additional burns. But I would have prefered they kept the skill as is and just made the focal point of the arrows adjustable instead of it being locked at max distance. That way it would have kept some skill to it and allowed for it to be blindfired to hit stealthed targets.
