Talk:Scavenger's Focus

Completely useless for bow users. With Read the Wind you can inflict +10 damage on anything with speed-buffed arrows, non-Elite, same duration.

HOWEVER...the wording makes it sound like this would work for melee attacks, which might make it somewhat more useful for melee R primaries and R secondaries, but still...Elite? :| Arshay Duskbrow 17:42, 23 September 2006 (CDT)

Yea a nice skill for a bunny thumper with apply poison. But it dosn't seem to be worth eating up your elite for.NovaTalon 15:34, 25 September 2006 (CDT)

It's a preparation, so you couldn't use it with Apply Poison anyway. Arshay Duskbrow 18:05, 25 September 2006 (CDT)

Would have been nice if this was a stance instead of preparation. Then it might actually have some use. --GTPoompt 07:52, 27 September 2006 (CDT)
 * An Assassin with this and a condition-causing attack as a lead. A Spear Mastery Paragon with Barbed Spear and this. In fact anything that has conditions and not arrows. Even a Ranger with a Spear. I guess it's elite due to the potential for an Assassin build.193.61.111.50 07:56, 27 September 2006 (CDT)


 * It would have been nicer if the damage stacked with each condition.  Assassinman 13:23, 27 September 2006 (CDT)


 * The damage is quite low for an elite however, you would need already spread conditions and multi-target attacks to ake it worthwile (death blossom? other multi-target attacks are elite) 83.159.9.78 14:55, 1 October 2006 (CDT)


 * Death Blossom is not a multi-target attack, its AoE damage doesn't count as attacking the targets (try with Empathy). --Theeth (talk)   15:02, 1 October 2006 (CDT)


 * What about a Dervish... They hit multiple opponents without their normal attacks...81.204.150.238 03:34, 31 October 2006 (CST)
 * On that note, I guess skills like Cyclone Axe and the like should be a bit nicer with the add on to each hit. Maybe I overlooked the obvious on this one for other professions as I was certainly bitter that this wasn't created with a bow using ranger in mind.--[[Image:VallenIconwhitesmall.JPG]]  Vallen Frostweaver  13:51, 31 October 2006 (CST)

Now if it were for EACh condition they were suffering, then it would be cool.. anyone wanna test it? Anet makes some blunders but I doubt they would make something this crappy, they prolly misworded it. (Not a fifty five 23:07, 9 October 2006 (CDT))
 * I'm sure it's not a type-o by Anet, though it is feasible they could change it before NF is released. Ever hear of Scavenger Strike?  It's double the energy cost of Predator's Pounce for 2-5 more damage (if conditions are met or less damage if not) and no heal back every 5 seconds.  Scavenger Strike sucks as much as Scavenger's Focus does.  It's not meant for a bow user as is, that's for sure.[[Image:VallenIconwhitesmall.JPG]]  Vallen Frostweaver  06:39, 10 October 2006 (CDT)
 * They made an elite as weak as pre-buff Shatterstone (which originally did slightly more than half as much damage as it does now). -- Gordon Ecker 03:25, 8 November 2006 (CST)
