Dwayna Vs Grenth Profession Skills -- 16:35, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Issue

With Wintersday here again, I've noticed that the Dwayna Vs Grenth Ranger and Mesmer profession skills aren't balanced with the other profession's skills.

Flurry of Ice - weaker snowballs that can hit up to 5 targets, how often do people stay adjacent to one another? Not to mention that it does not build adrenaline. So I only hit one target 99% of the time AND I hit for less AND no adrenaline is built? Even with a 3/4 cast time it is still too slow when dazed which would be the only other time you would use Flurry of Ice instead of Snowball or Mega Snowball.

Blinding Snow - the interrupt is solid but inflicting the blinding condition? Most Dwayna Vs Grenth skills are spells and blindness doesn't really affect them much, even if blindness adds a greater straying chance to ranged spells (i.e. Snowball).

Suggestion

Flurry of Ice - change to a stronger single hit snowball. As masters of the bow and in a more general sense, ranged attacks, Rangers should be able to throw a snowball where it will do the most good (i.e. damage) and give it a recharge time. Skill name would have to be changed to something else.

Blinding Snow - keep the interrupt and instead of blinding, disable all skills for a very short duration, maybe one or two seconds and lengthen the recharge time.
