OK so we finally get someone to take a look at SoA and how it brings teh suck for DPS and in the next breath they talk about AA damage...

Probably reading into this but the way it's presented on this site, it's almost as if they looked into LOWERING AA damage to make this pos spell viable somehow?

Either way the fact that SoA is being re-evaluated is nice I just don't understand how a CA that lasts for 30 seconds by stifling and rooting the caster was ever "intended" to be used in between AA's and yes I know it can be canceled.

I wouldn't mind Stream being made into an encounter AE... even with the same limitations. Would limit it's uses, but might fill a gap in our AE output if it was tuned correctly for damage.

It should not be made into something that allows rangers to just click one button and stand there and achieve optimal dps for 30 seconds, even in just AE situations. It needs to be something that meshes well with the rest of the class' abilities, and potentially something that meaningfully increases the class' AE dps. I don't have a really good solution off the top of my head.

I think it should be turned into an AE with a good initial damage amount, and then a dot effect every 2 or 3 seconds hence the "stream" of arrows. Just drop the whole stifle rooted slow constant pew pew part of it. Would be nice to have an encounter dot.

Make it a non stealth attack and id be fine id it had the same kind of reuse timer as shower.

Pudaan

Just delete it and buff storm of arrows a bit, we dont need this spell imo.

turn it into something else tbh

maybe a buff to help the other classes in our group instead. I always feel like the greedy child in a group...a single mit buff for the flappy mage (annoying when they die and you lose IA, haste etc) or a group or single ae block on a longish timer. Or a short duration in combat speed buff like cheeta...

it doesnt have to be over powered like a 100k hit, just something that might help in the odd encounter
