I. Sharpshooter Feats
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, Uncategorized July 1st, 2008Tendon Rupture: 3 Ranks, Passive, Required for Ricochet.
- As the tooltip suggests, each point invested lowers the cooldown of Incapacitating Stabs by 2 seconds, up to a maximum of 6 seconds.
- As the tooltip suggests, attacks have a chance to proc a Knee-Capping debuff on the target, lasting a few seconds.
Tooltip: Increases the chance to hit with their offhand weapon and damage done by bows.
- Each rank invested in, provides a significant damage boost to combos such as Salvo and Volley Backwards. (Will post all combos affected shortly.)
- This bonus applies exclusively to bows. Crossbows will not receive the range bonus.
Rapid Stabs: 3 Ranks, Passive.
Deadeye: 3 Ranks, Passive.
- The offhand chance gives a chance on a melee swing for the damage of both weapons to be factored into the attack. Only applies when dual wielding weapons.
Tier 3: Requires Level 20, 10 points in Sharpshooter tree.
Splintering Puncture: 3 Ranks, Active, 60 sec. cooldown. (? - Confirmation on cooldown needed.)
Bow Specialization: 5 Ranks, Passive.
Tooltip: The Ranger’s attacks have a chance of snaring enemies nearby the primary target.
- Each point invested increases the radius of Sulfurous Burst by 1m, up to a maximum of 5m. This maxes the range out at 10m.
- The snare effect is similar to Pin Down in duration and potency.
- The damage bonus scales along with the Ranger’s age of conan gold current level.
- Each point invested in Focused Fire increases the damage bonus.
- Each combo that this feat effects has a different cooldown reduction. (I will update this with a detailed list on combos that apply, and cooldown times.)
Tooltip: Increases the duration of the Ranger’s Pin Down combo.
Tooltip: Adds fire damage to normal ranged attacks, and bonus damage to all ranged attacks.
Tier 4: Requires Level 25, 15 points in the Sharpshooter tree.
Tooltip: Upgrade combo: -2 to cooldown of the Incapacitating Stabs combo, which slows an opponent’s movement rate.
Fire Stance: 1 Rank, Active (Aura), 4 sec. cooldown.
Tooltip: Increases the range of bow attacks.
- Additional points give varied amounts; the final rank is 15% additional offhand chance, and +14 Bow Damage.
- The bleed effect is extremely poor damage, and can spread to targets that are under damage-sensitive CC, potentially breaking it early.
- When used on other players, Knee-Capping will proc a Root Immunity after it’s duration is finished. However, Knee-Capping willnot proc Root Immunity on mobs.
Sulfurous Burst: 1 Rank, Active, 60 sec. cooldown, required for Sulfurous Blast.
- Keep in mind that Stealthy Strike is a skill that is learned in the mid 30’s (? - What’s the exact level?), and this feat can potentially be taken before the Ranger even acquires Stealthy Strike.
Tooltip: The Ranger’s shots have a small chance of briefly rooting the target to the ground, preventing movement.
Ricochet: 5 Ranks, Passive, 3 Ranks of Tendon Rupture required, Required for Knee-Capping.
Tooltip: Attacks performed with in 10 seconds of a Stealthy Strike combo have a chance of reducing the hate generated by the Ranger for a short period of time.
Tier 2: Requires Level 15, 5 points in Sharpshooter tree.
- This ability applies to bows only.
- The first point in this skill grants a 5% additional offhand chance, and +6 Bow Damage.
Tooltip: Improves the Sulfurous Burst ability, increasing the radius and causing it to inflict burning wounds on all hostile targets in the area.
Sniper Stance: 1 Rank, Active (Aura), 4 sec. cooldown, 5 ranks of Silent Shots required.
Tooltip: Upgrades the Bleeding Puncture combo, adding a bleed effect to enemies in the area. More points in this feat will increase the area size.
Cold Nerves: 3 Ranks, Passive.
- Each rank increases the proc rate of Ricochet. (? - This seems to be the case, and if it is, testing will be needed to determine the approximate proc rate per rank.)
- In addition to the 30% additional damage, a flat damage bonus is added, which scales with the Ranger’s level. (I believe this was the compensation for the removal of the range bonus.)
Tooltip: Reduces the cooldown on all ranged combos.
Focused Fire: 5 Ranks, Active Skill, 60 sec. cooldown.
- As with all stances, the damage bonus is 30% to all attacks.
- Each rank reduces the stamina cost of specific combos by 5%, up to a maximum of 15%. (I will include a list of combos affected shortly.)
Sulfurous Blast: 5 Ranks, Passive, Requires 1 Rank of Sulfurous Burst.
Tier 6: Requires Level 40, 25 points in the Sharpshooter tree.
- Sulfurous Burst deals 1 damage to stealthed foes within the affected area, forcing them to unstealth. Coupled with Tracking, this is a highly useful PvP utility feat for a minor investment.
- Each point invested increases the duration by 1 second, to a maximum of 3 seconds.
- Each rank increases the area effect snare by 1 meter.
- This feat applies a debuff on the target after using Stealthy Strike, which lasts 10 seconds regardless of rank. For every point invested in Silent Shots, this debuff has an additional 20% chance of giving the Ranger the “Silent Shots” buff after an attack on the target.
Eagle Eye: 5 Ranks, Passive.
Quick Shots: 5 Ranks, Passive.
Tooltip: Increases the range of the Ranger’s attacks, their damage and their chance to hit.
- When Bleeding Puncture is used on a mob while this buff is active, any mobs within a certain radius of your target will also receive the bleed effect.
- Each point invested increases the damage dealt, which is a fire-based damage over time. The damage is minor, but does add up over several ticks.
- The hit chance increase is listed as a -2% miss chance.
Silent Shots: 5 Ranks, Passive, Required for Sniper Stance.
- Attacks used in this stance have a chance to proc a small fire damage bonus, seperate from the normal damage dealt.
Tier 5: Requires Level 30, 20 points in the Sharpshooter tree.
- The tooltip for this feat is misleading, as there is no range increase currently associated with Sniper Stance. (Sniper Stance originally did give a range increase during beta.)
Tooltip: Increases the damage done by select ranged combos.
- The radius effect of Sulfurous Burst is 5m.
- Regardless of Rank, Silent Shots grants the Ranger a -20% hate reduction on all attacks while the buff is active on the Ranger. Increasing the rank simply gives a higher chance of a proc.
- As with all stances, the “Bonus damage” is a 30% damage increase to all attacks.
- The exact radius added per rank is currently unknown.
Tier 1: No requirements.
- The effect is an area effect around the Ranger’s location.
- Each rank increases your range rating by +1. This translates age of conan gold to an additional meter per point invested, to a maximum of 5m. (?)
Tooltip: Grants the Ranger an ability which increases the damage of their attacks for a short time.
Knee Capping: 2 Ranks, Passive, Requires 5 Ranks of Ricochet.
- Because the fire damage proc occurs after the initial damage, Fire Stance has a chance of breaking damage-sensitive CC.
- This feat applies to bows only. Crossbows will not receive the bow damage. However, obviously the duel wield bonus will still apply.
Tooltip: Reduces stamina cost on all ranged combos.
Tooltip: Grants the Ranger an ability which reveals any hidden enemies in the vicinity by lighting up the area.
