New ability for "Ranged" tree

Hi! Almost all weapon trees have stun effect, except ranged. I think this must be fixed. Add please the "Butt Blow" ability to the ranged tree with stun effect. This ability for crossbows only, i can't imagine how make stun effect for bows, but if you can - make it too. This ability will be very helpful when enemies come too close - it will give an opportunity to run back and continue ranged combat. Thank you =))

 

Blades have 0 sources of CC
Polearms have a root and a very inconsistent trip
Bows have a slow
Bludgeon have a ton.

You know you can use Gust as your source of stun, not only does it stun, but it also pushes back the enemy, creating the gap without having to move.

I don't think that is the right skill to add for ranged, there are other ideas and I think you just need to think outside the box and use skills from other trees to get where you want.

 

But you can take one-handed bladed weapon and shield and got stun effect from shield tree.

Yes, it have, but when you are surrounded by enemies, slowing down doesn't help much.

Yes, but gust work normal only for low-tier enemies and if you air mage. I, for example, moon and water mage.

 

Not true... Just depends on how high you get it.

 

I think it's one of the best ranged abilities. If you want to slow many enemies then use Ice Field or caltrops (caltrops can be used from your utility hotbar when in combat ).

Gust works against just about everything and is awesome.

 

Don’t forget shock arrow and piercing breeze, although i haven’t used them in forever and can’t speak to how efficient these combos are nowadays.

 

In short, do not want - do not do, my business has to offer. And your vaunted combos I have never been able to launch. Please note that enchantments with additional magical elemental damage are NOT AVAILABLE for ranged weapons and this is definitely a deliberate deterioration! I ditched more than one crossbow until I realized that. Or now you will start writing about the balance and so on... I expressed my opinion, history will judge us.

 

I always wanted a "Charge Weapon" skill in the air tree. Similar to the Ignite Weapon skill in the fire tree, but it would add a bit of electrical (air) damage and maybe have a small chance to stun.

 

Bad news is that even if they add new skill to ranged tree, it will most likely be underpowered, meaning the existing options will be far more effective.

PS: air/ranged combos are garbage.
