Xsorus here, I was testing out longbow, and I noticed something, and i’ve not figured out what’s causing it yet

Every single crit longbow does, grants me a stack of fury…. usually after rapid shot, I have bloody 21 seconds of it.

edit

Nm, found what is causing the bug, its Eagle Eye

We understand you obviously are in favor of this bug…I mean I would be too on my Ranger. The point is that it was an unintended change and we are obligated to fix it. We were just talking and one thing we do want to do with Ranger is find more places to place Fury. A lot of these posts are just erratic emotional responses filled with tons of hyperbole. The Ranger isn’t going to “go back into being useless” because of this fix, because it’s already strong. Sure it has it’s flaws like all classes but it is one of the top classes in PvP and in PvE it is competitive with top burst damage. It’s got better support than many classes and it has probably the best elite in the game. I mean it’s got an 87% participation rate in the 2v2 tournaments that have been happening every weekend. What that means is that one was on every single team in the tournament except one.

Sorry I don’t have more time to chat but things will be getting better for the Ranger in the future. You can count on it.

Let’s just stop you all right there. We don’t balance off of 2v2 or solely PvP.

It was an example to prove not everyone is upset with Ranger.

Hey guys,

As Tyler mentioned above, this is clearly an unintended change. Eagle Eye is currently attached to a script for an entirely different trait, and that needs to be fixed.

Not to mention that a trait with damage, range, and permanent fury seems sort of crazy. Ranger will see improvements, but this isn’t the way to do it.
