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.

This ability is really nice and actually useful, TY! Love the change.

It still needs some minor tweaking though imo, a 30 second duration and 3 minute cooldown is far too long for something like that.

It's at worst 1/3 of your Sneak Attacks. That's not far too long a cooldown. Seriously, some people wont be happy until they make SA and TA just force critical with their DEX and AGI boosts from any position will they?

I would be pretty happy if they modified Trick Attack to work from anywhere (not behind another person) via bully or some other method and added a trait

...or reversed the nerf that restricted the angle on Sneak Attack to "Directly Behind."

I mean, why can't I "Sneak Attack" a monster if he is not looking at me and focusing on someone else (or if I'm behind a party member and the monster can't see me)?

seriously...shut up. Bully is useful now, leave it at that instead of asking for more, which YOU KNOW SE will perceive as "they dont like this either, k lets change it to something else".

just, shut up. In fact, lock the thread OP if you can.

[Laphine]

well considering up until now they were able to progressively increase the utility on bully, i wouldn't cry if they dumped this new concept completely to give us something even better.

lol. I don't think you have anything to worry about. The vast majority og THFs have had nothing but positive things to say about this latest change.

...now if only they'd update the test server so I can try it out....

Yeah, it's only the retards who don't realise that 1/3 of your sneak attacks is a big deal. Problem is SE seems to listen to retards more than good players. This can be seen through rdm melee.

"waahhhh this new change is still garbage, its only for 30 seconds on a 3 minute recast...THREE MINUTES is waaaay too long wtf"...
seriously

[Insaniac]

I would totally lock it if I could =P
