Bully: it's really bad.

[Reaux]

Morning! Sorry to make you all wait at the edges of your seats for what has been posted about Bully. Hope you all had a good labor day weekend.

Last week we added an effect to Bully that would make it easier to increase the effect of Treasure Hunter.

Based on feedback we received about this, we decided to go a different route and add an effect we felt would make you all a bit happier.

The changes to the effects are described below:

•Bully (THF lvl.93 Recast time: 3 minutes Effect Duration: 30 seconds)
Intimidates target
While under its effect: Possible to use Sneak Attack when not behind an enemy.

You're starting to get it, but not quite there yet.

Why does it sound like some people think that Bully is giving us an additional critical attack every 3 minutes? You guys do realize that it allows us to use Sneak Attack from any direction so we are still under that 50 second - 1 minute constraint.. I just see some posts that indicate we get an extra critical every 3 minutes but that's not the case. Just means that every 3rd SA, we don't have to run behind the mob to perform it. A welcomed change nonetheless.

Most life long thf's spend the vast majority of their time soloing, now we get to use sneak attack while soloing, sweet

Maybe you need to read more into the posts and do less of the speed reading. From a technical point of view a THF tank(or whatever case that might have hate focused on the THF)is getting an extra forced crit every 3 minutes, and up to 2 if they time it right.

We're not saying it's magically providing another forced crit on top of SATA, we're saying that because we can SA from any direction it's giving us forced crits when before we didn't have the option due to SA requirements.

Im so excited about this its great. i didn't expect something like this to happen but so glad if you guys go through with it. Thanks a bunch really looking forward to the update now ^^.

Why is this so amazing? It's a 30 second duration and 3 min recast which means at best 1 free SA. While soloing this is good, but for HNM this is meh considering it's not too hard to SA behind the mob. Also does this mean they removed the 'easier to proc TH effect" from Bully?

[Smush]

here is just a idea.
but in the future maybe you guys can make conspirator a TA version of this new effect where you dont have to be behind a person just a idea ^^.

Most likly yea they did remove the "easier to proc" effect from it to replace it with this new effect (not much of a loss anyway.... 90% of the people who posted here about it were screaming hate about it)

imo Im glad to see an update where 70%~ of the thfs are happy with it for a change.

In 1 week bully has gone from pure garbage to one of the best JAs THF has. Anyone not happy with this change is just trying to be unhappy.

This makes me very happy. For solo / Duo this is amazing. For groups its also pretty damn good.
