Quick Nock and Wide Volley

Anyone else feel that SE should bring back the procs for these two? I think it'd be great to have it again (RoD > wide volley > quick nock procs) and have them require no casting bar when they proc (like straight shot procs). It's a little depressing when venom and windbite don't reset RoD despite having multi DoTs at times and would make WV and QN more useful again.

I don't mind the new RoD. I would love to have an ability like SMN get that spread my dots to all the mobs though.

I like the new system and I proc mine just fine and tear it up even more in AOE situations. Quick is the new go to standard when rod is not available and really only wide volley is barely used now and that is okay.

I like the new system fine. I never even noticed the procs before and ended up only using Quick Nock anyway.

This way I get to use Rain of Death AND Quick Nock, just making Wide Volley useless instead of that and RoD.

Quick Nock always been the best aoe option anyway. Even when procs were a thing.
Now the aoe only got better with the free RoD proc's that we get to go on top of QN.

Wide Volley is useless and to be fair always has been. So yes that skill could use some rework.
There are many things SE could do to it to make it useful, making it proc from the other aoe's could work, but other things like giving it another secondary function could work too.

The way it is now is mostly fine... just give QN a proc for WV.

I actually like the change to RoD, if you ever have acc problems you can now pretty much keep evasion down up on a mob full time just by giving up a bloodletter every so often without killing your TP.

Quick knock and wide volley could use adjustment though, other than being able to keep a safe distance, wide volley has no benefit over quick knock. And that just isn't worth the 20 tp extra in my opinion. Maybe buff the damage on wide volley so it matches with mch's spread shot and grenado shot. Or maybe add a DoT effect to it that also procs river of blood.

I do like the idea of Wide volley having a DoT effect. Perhaps have QN or RoD proc WV to apply wind and venom bite? Then we just focus on IJ.

Wide Volley needs to be tweaked so it can spread Venomous and Windbite to near by enemies....not being used for anything else

This would be so OP, but if it was made like Bane (so only the remaining time is applied)...then I'd actually use it.

I don't think it needs to spread the current bites, give it it's own AoE bite, so we don't have to waste 2GCD's applying venom and wind, we can just go straight to AoE.

Wide volley
Delivers an attack with a potency of 30 to target and enemies near it.
Additional effect: Hailbite, ice damage over time
Potency 15 Duration 18s
Additional effect: When damage over time is critical, there is a 50% chance bloodletter recast time will reset

With this adjustment, BRD's AoE rotation would become very clear cut.
(Optional) foe requiem + battle voice > RoD > wide volley > quick knock spam + RoD procs > wide volley when DoT timer is up.
