    This particular feat was more of a bug fix as it caused a couple odd cases.

    The DD chest is fixed, but the note was mixed up elsewhere. I added that in the notes, thanks!

    ****, was hoping for a fix for dazing striking not being able to be queued up while you are using duelists flurry. Really annoying bug, but guess I have to deal with it a little longer.

    If you think it's so useless, then don't use it. I get the impression other people like it just for fun.

    Panderus , have you fixed the queue system or are you going to? , I don't know about on test but on live the dungeon queue is completely broken since module 2 launched , there have been numerous threads about it but no developer feedback as far as I know. Doesn't make much of a first impression to all the new players who joined with Shadowmantle...

    Great. Now the only hability that could the HR stand a lil more against a CW is useless. It was hard enough to fight IV GWFs, now its nearly impossible to stay alive. Well done.

    @ Panderus

    Any reason Why Valindra drops tier 1 Junk ? or why DD chest when it does work gave me an item that states it drops in Death forge not in Tier 2 Dungeon ?

    Maybe worth removing the Vote to kick also seems like since it went live all people do is abuse it, good thing in theory in practice not so much

    I concur. Please fix the dungeon queue system. Even something temporary like making groups that have beaten the dungeon boss not be able to be joinable. I can't count how many I have queued up for and ended up in a completed dungeon. I'm sure there's more to it than that but that would be a good start!

    im just curious why make master of archery bound only to encounters, it basically destroys the hunters damage capability vs multiple targets. up until shadowmantle all people wanted in there groups was 3 cws for dps in some cases 4 cws. the hunter changed that and added diversity back into the game and now that there getting a hard nerf like that you can count on the game reverting back to revolving solely around cws. the 20 seconds nerf is the only reasonable part about it

    I was gonna post that too. I was expecting this to be in the notes. What's up with that? It has to be a mistake. There's nothing worse than wasting my ITC trying to get out of this HAMSTER when it doesn't work.

    i hope this includes the vt exploit fix.

    also adds from caskets and in malabog from vals portals ignore aggro table and GF can't intimi them. if it's developer intention to exclude GF from end-game dungeons, this is a good way insure it.

    Me, as mainly a CW, just want to say that we CWs also only have a daily (also rooting us in place) that makes us shortly immune to CC. There is a reason we (CWs and now HRs) are ranged and have more dodges than other classes. Having also a CC immune encounter would surely be nice in PvE, but quite unbalanced in PvP.

    How do people abuse it? And do you really think that a vote system is worse than one troll / idiot party leader kicking everyone at the end of a dungeon?

    Wait so the bug fix is to completely change how the feat works and make it significantly weaker?

    Now I will concede that it is probably too strong at the moment, but reducing it to once every 20s and only for encounters is too far.

    Ultimately this is my big concern, I see a lot of "bug fixes" where the "fix" is a significant change instead of a step by step change and evaluation.

    For example why not put a 20s cooldown but otherwise leave Master Archer alone?

    How do people abuse it ? surely you aren't serious to even ask that question, Obvious Greed mentality

    32 times yesterday i got kicked as we reached the last boss or first boss as they wanted a Range or when they were at the last boss and didnt want to take the chance i was a ninja and steal "there " loot. even though i have informed them i wont roll on it they still kick, problem with language also seems a lot people don't speak or read English

    Today been kicked from 21 times in the last 6 hours

    no way is the system working in a fair manner for us genuine people.

    Actually, I am serious. I only run with my guildmates, so I don't have the problems you describe. A vote system where the majority decides is fairer than having to bet on the courtesy of one player (= the party leader) - but it can't do anything against running with 3+ idiots who vote "yes" to your kick.
    If the kick-system would still be the old one, you probably still would've been kicked (except if you were the party leader), so I don't think your experience is an argument against the new system.
    Surely I understand your pain, but the new kick-system is not to blame - it's better than the old one; the idiots are to blame.
    I actually can't think of a fairer system than a majority vote to decide a kick - do you?

    So how about I dont believe you, not the fact that you get kicked. But the fact you can run 21 dungeons in 6 hours. Which means 17 minutes for an entire dungeon. Or you mean you entered 21 times and got kicked straight away?

    32 Dungeons, when reaching first or last boss. Wow dude.....how about I dont believe you and maybe the problem isnt the party but you?

    This sounds maybe rude, but for me it is hard to believe. And if you can run to the endboss there must be a guild who accepts you, so as mentioned above....join a guild or play with friends.

    That's not a "Bug fix" that's completely changing the damned feat!

    The 20 sec cooldown seems reasonable, but only affecting encounter powers? That's just asinine I don't use Encounter powers for damage they are pretty much useless for that!
    Constricting shot / Split the Sky / Binding arrow These are my encounter setup and the damage for them is GARBAGE all my encounter powers are to set up my at-wills This feat is Useless to me now.
