Point blank passive?
|
I think the point is that you can use ranger-skills and a bow, while being a melee class. Kind of makes sense, but I don't see the damage or utility potential for it yet. People will have to run numbers on it to be able to say for sure if it's a viable build or not.
But I could see some kind of crazy lightning arrow build that could make use of it. +100% damage is nothing to scoff at, especially if you can get a crit on top of it. Or how about a point blank explosive arrow? But that's it honestly. My Keystone Ideas: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/744282 Last edited by anubite#0701 on Aug 8, 2012, 4:36:25 PM

" What's your definition of viable? A lot of people on forums like to build entirely offensive with only a few hp nodes and then manage to die several times before they even get to reach Act II. My personal definition of viable is being able to solo or take hits in a full group, on hardcore. DPS doesn't mean anything; I focus on survivability and then DPS. Post a point blank build? No thanks, I'd rather it not become the next cookie cutter build for lazy people, and I don't really have a taste for e-fame. Also a side note, Any class can be a "ranger" or a "duelist" |

" I actually agree with your definition of viability but you shouldnt critizise people for not being creative while not coming up with anything yourself. Also a side note, you can give a monkey a sniper rifle but that doesnt make him a marksman. |

It's 1 skill point that increases damage 50%.
What's not to like? |

" I really think you are underestimating the actual impact of the decreased damage value and the amount of movability/positioning needed to use this passive to its fullest extend. |

" Why is a range shooting things often up close anyways? This is the #1 indication of a horrible range build in ANY ARPG, more often then not they should not get within melee range of you and if they do you need to adjust some things and/or change your build.

Just a question: has anyone on this thread even heard of Lightning Strike? "Melee" skill that shoots projectiles? Guess where those projectiles tend to hit opponents....
