Careful attack fix??

ymsoldier

Has anyone heard any feedback about hunter rangers careful attack being fixed? I know it was mentioned they were looking into it but this was months ago and it is most definitely broken as hell

beginning to think trappers are just an obsolete path at this point

It's super depressing, completely broke the path and now ignore players to no end with questions about it, I hate the combat playstyle and literally can button mash and it still destroys my trapper build, dont even care if equal geared combat beats trapper I just hugely prefer the trapper playstyle and want it to be viable and useful to a party....cant understand how this is being ignored still after a few months

Have you tried bringing it to Julia's attention? @nitocris83

I know that Pathfinder is usually combined with Trapper (never heard of Combat Pathfinder, but who knows), but that doesn't mean they are the same thing.

Careful Attack is a Pathfinder at-will. If it is bugged, then the problem is with Pathfinder not with Trapper.

Trapper still works great with Stormwarden and an hybrid with some Combat feats (the one that increases buff from Throw Caution + a choice between the one that boosts Critical Severity or the one that boosts At-Will & Encounter damage).

@graywynd yes I have PM'd her as well as others I know and haven't heard back anything...and yes should have been more specific pathfinder broken not trapper but imho stormwarden trappers do not keep up in endgame

the only thing that makes a trapper viable is pathfinder with careful attack. any other build is not viable damage wise in end game content.

I miss careful attack, stormwarden's ok, but I never feel I'm kicking out the damage like I used to.

That said though my conspiracy theory is that they purposefully disabled it when codg came out, to stop hrs killing it very easily.

Trapper is cool with its playstyle. It won't be doing as much damage as Combat but still is OK and can run ToNG easily, especially with buff party.

Truth is, we had our sweet spot in mod11 and mod12/12b as we where propably the best DPS class there was. Now I'm hapilly filling the niche of semi-dps with much utility/buff for group when playing Trapper. But yes - broken CA takes away much of our DPS and makes Pathfinder paragon path useless.

Is CA oficially considered a bug? I haven't seen any statement that someone will look into it or it's on "their radar".

It would be great if someone from dev team could say something more about it:

don't know if I could find it again but iirc it was declared a bug and supposedly was going to be worked on.. noted right before omu launched

ymsoldier

Agree with @firesidecat I'm positive I read something about them looking into it just before omu launch

Well, if the CA fix was on the bottom of the bottomless priority list and you escalate it one position upwards... you still are at the bottom of the buglist that grows with each patch.

Methinks that the lack of Careful Atlag updates signifies that it is Working As Intended™ by the devs. Which is unfortunate, because I wanted to add Trapper HR to my repritoire of classes.

yeah combat is not as satisfying as trapper was. where is my free class change token so I can just port it all over to gwf and do the same thing but better lol
