I've been playing a ranger for a long time now, I remember the pre-nerf of the amazing/miracle arrow days. I understand the reason why they nerfed it was to cut down on farming, but that brings up a question in my mind, one that we all have probably been asking ourselves, What is the point of having amazing or miracle arrow? I believe that it didn't cut down on farming at all but rather people found other classes to play in order to farm.

What makes this ranged attack so amazing, or miraculous? So it does a fair amount of damage, but Requires you to currently have line of sight or to have acquired the target with line of sight. Is it just me or is that just redundant, the second part of that shouldn't even be in the CA description because its Line of sight period!

I'm hoping that the devs look past the previous indulging of farmers back in the day to give the spell a chance again. I know it might seem like talking to a brick wall when posting about maybe making a change but we have gone through alot of changes in the past couple weeks.

Maybe a solution is to have it fire like a regular attack which it already does but must have a certain distance when an object, wall, cliff, whatever the situation is, is in the way. That way the attack still stays amazing and miraculous. I would make it when using the CA same distance and damage, but when objects are in the way lessen the distance, or just not touch it at all, just fix the CA to make it amazing again.

Mages seem to be the best at farming mobs,specifically Wizards. I've seen mages solo mobs in chardok, I was wondering how that is fair to have a nerfed CA, but they are clearly farming nameds and other mobs by themselves, I don't know many other classes besides summoners.

These are just ideas, maybe something will be done about it and maybe we get a CA back that really would be amazing.

I'm a Ranger to the end, all we can do is hope, maybe something will be done.

I used to solo farm all but one of the named mobs in Chelsith that wizards did Although with the changes they made to the fishman named in GU44 that's gone by the wayside for them and me both

And while Amazing Arrow isn't even close to as useful as it used to be it can still be useful. I use it often when solo farming still for pulling. And used to use it on most of the named in Chelsith I used to kill, tell they gave them that ranged nuke

It's called amazing arrow, because it's amazing how often people ask stupid questions about it.
But tbh, you can still use that CA like you did before... only that you cannot /target mobs some rooms away and you have to sneak "around the corner" (*g*) to get target with line of sight.

Functionally it's really not that amazing, given the horrible method for determining line of site. 9/10 of the body visible, big toe in a sand dune prevents targetting...come on =/

Yeah, it can be used without LoS, as long as the mob was targeted with LoS; but alas, sometimes the game thinks seeing almost the whole damn mob isn't LoS enough...

They should have left it the way it was after the /target command was fixed, that would have stopped the targeting through walls farming well enough.

As long as pets can pull mobs you can /target the functionality of amazing arrow is really bullshit.
