Reintroduce “Skilled Marksman”!


AllNightPlayer.1286

Recommended Posts

It’s pretty unfair to remove Skilled Marksman. Every profession can buff their weapons (including the standard 20 % cd reduction in most cases). You even changed the system yourselves some time ago, so these traits shall not only provide a simple 20 % cd reduction, but a nice overall bonus, too.But now, the Engineer can’t buff his rifle and harpoon gun at all.Reintroduce a trait for rifle/harpoon gun! Every profession has it. Every specialisation gets it.

Idk, the CD reduction alone wasnt enough for compete against the actual No Scope, and for good reason, our Rifle alone with zero modifiers is a lackluster of weapon, it needs damage modifiers in order to deal respectable damage, cd reduction wasnt cutting it, and wont cut it if its reintroduced just like it was, quite a bummer i must said, but its the least of my concerns honestly, rifle can and will workout without it

They should just make Chemical Rounds baseline and re-add Skilled Marksman in on the Adept Major tier of Firearms while also making it affect Pistols. Core Engineer weapons autos aren't that great this would be a nice buff to Condi Engineers in PvE and PvP. Making Chemical Rounds baseline also makes Sword/Pistol setups more attractive.

Agreed 100 %. Totally idiotic change. All other professions can have cool down reduction to their weapons. Why Engi cannot?

Surprised they didn't do this because the replacement is essentially another trait that does a similar thing passively...Hematic Focus - You have increased chance to critically strike against bleeding foes.

@JETWING.2759 said:Was a good and needed change.Rifle got a minor buff with net shoot damage (could also toogle to a secondary skill that explodes the net, damaging foes around the target), and the new trait allows híbrid builds.

Net Shot damage should have been rolled into rifle AA giving it a much better feel and use. I think its the only AA (main weapon, not kit) weapon that is one skill/attack only and therein is the issue. Oh wait, buff sword 1 and 2, a weapon that was already ok with its AA....really? Yea, you gotta wonder sometimes.
