Brillaint discussion Archery/Kinetics.
Score!
I love Archery but Rain of Arrow takes a long time to shoot so between FS and RoA, you probably need to spend like 7-8s.
I wonder if each wave of arrow has its chance to scourge? RoA shoots 1-3 times.
What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.
I would assume it would work so that each of the three has its own individual chance.
I didn't even consider the possibility of scourge counting for each wave of arrows. This is chest bump worthy!
And totally destroys any AR vs Archery argument as yet another round or prolif comes and goes and yet another issue with no balance adjustments to AR (other than the minor tweaks a couple issues back).
I'm definitely rolling one of these when i16 hits, I already have a build planned out. Something like 40% ranged and 35% S/L defense and 65% global recharge.
