Talk:Hunter's Shot

Notes section
Agreed, it'd be useful with Apply Poison for a -7 degeneration. But you might want to add a bit more on ways to get it to move or knocked down for the bleeding to take effect.

LAME
I don't know where the tag is, but I vote this as a LAME skill. It's the lamest thing since unsliced bread, there are MUCH better alternatives to cause bleeding. (ie: Screaming Shot.) This is a very conditional bleeding, and while it does occaisionally work, it never works on casters because they're usually standing still, and casters are the ones I usually apply conditions to.

 * Hunter's Shot came out in Prophecies while Screaming Shot came out in Nightfall. Hunter's Shot has a few advantages, all of which are dwarfed by screaming shot's: Hunter's Shot recharges more quickly, costs half as much, and can inflict bleeding at recurve or longbow range. Clearly Hunter's Shot could use an update.
 * On another note, if you attempt to combine Hunter's Shot with Thunderclap, it checks Hunter's Shot's condition before inflicting the knockdown, so the a hunter's shot that knocks someone down does not inflict bleeding. If it did, I'd take the lower energy over screaming shot. Maybe it's back to brambles.--JenniferBelle 19:34, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
