I am suggesting that we remove the skill Firearrow from Rangers.
Level 20 Skill Fire Arrow
Your arrows set your target on fire but each arrow drains you of an additional 10 mana
I think we can agree that the goal was to give the Ranger a damage skill.
Here are my reasons to request a change.
o When a target (either a mob or a player) is on fire, they do not get hit by arrows when taking fire tick damage (while not taking tick damage but on fire, arrows DO hit). The arrows do zero damage and bounce off of them, and upon hitting something on the rebound, they apply any SkillArrow (poison/ice/fire) to the rebounded target. This can lead to Rangers poisoning, slowing, or burning themselves. The problem rest with mine craft itself and not with our coders.
o If the above ("FireArrow negates most all arrow damage and creates the potential for self-inflicted damage/slows") is correct, then good Rangers cannot use the skill FireArrow. I understand that the armor-ignoring fire ticks have their place in any skillset, but the tradeoff is almost always too much for us.
o I have to believe that fire arrow was designed to become obsolete when you get ice arrow at level 30. Ice arrow is one of two skills (other is Track) that makes this a viable class.
Suggestions...
(Passive) First Strike, if you have not shot an arrow in 20 seconds then next shot has a chance to crit
Other Suggestions
Scout- Move Faster when not taking damage (Active 20sec cd)
Bottomless Quiver - same function as infinity enchantment, limited time.
Bloody Arrow - Next arrow will deal damage plus a percentage of the targets max health
