Zevix.1479 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Just a little thing would be nice if Ranger Warhorn 4: Hunter's Call required a target within range before even being able to cast it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleazar.9478 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Well your in luck!!! Cause it does need a target! And is only single target SMH.Now mad king runes on the other hand do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krispera.5087 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Agree.Hunter's Call needs more punch. It's fine by itself, but when you look at other professions skills, it kinda misses something more. Also, not getting hit by multiple retaliation would cool too...

Zevix.1479 Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 For some reason I thought Hunter's Call blinded targets at or near launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcbroe.4329 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I'd take it a step farther, keep the lack of required target, and make it an AoE that can affect 3-5 targets within range.Your suggestion is just a QoL though, mine is an actual buff, so I guess it would be up to determining whether the buff would contribute all that much to the power creep.But yes, anything useful is an improvement.

If we assume 250 retal dmg per hit (it can get higher), that's already 4k dmg from one target with retal, 3 targets would deal 12k dmg and hitting 5 targets could result in taking 20k unavoidable dmg.

There's no reason why we (or any other class) can't have nice things because 1 boon mechanic is designed poorly and more heavily persists at creating this issue in 1 gamemode (what you're suggesting is basically a nonissue in PvP and PvE).

Frozen.1347 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Hunter's Call hits even more than Barrage, so it would be worse and it can be an issue in PvP too, not just in WvW. It is not about "rangers shoudn't get nice things", i just think that it wouldn't be as nice as it might look at first glance (whenever i see someone suggesting aoe Hunter's Call it reminds me of killing myself with mad king rune in PvP against a single chrono - with retal on his phantasms).
