Make Sharpshoot Great

I enjoy playing Sharpshooter but it’s clunky and I have an idea to somewhat fix the issue.

Deathstrike is good but

  1. You can only do the 40% increased damage on the target you hit with deathstrike.
    2)The burst window ticks down while still in deathstrike animation losing 1.5 seconds so its not an 8 second burst its more like 6-7 seconds.
  2. only useful on bosses

What I like to see changed and I just speak for myself.

Turn deathstrike into a buff that you can active and get 40% burst for 8 seconds on anything, will this make this OP? I don’t think so if it does just adjust how fast you can charge it.

#2

just wait for the balance patch, it gets better.

#3

Well, thats the point of deathstrike, we rarely have scenarios were you need damage on multiple targets, besides almost all party synergies are debuffs

#4

that’s pretty much why most sharpashootas take both engravings

#5

Sorry what? Why would buffing the class in ways that don’t matter at all (anything that isn’t boss damage/weak point dmg) be worth doing? SS aoe is fine…and irrelevant

Just give them a ranged counter. Makes no sense for them not to have one, even paladins have a ranged counter.
