Hi everyone,

Was there ever an announcement or anything regarding of why Repelling Shot is 'near target' only?

I mean, ARC/BRD is the most mobile class/job on the game atm. And - at least me - use a lot that focused/locked on target option, which you can strafe around the target. But also have that slow backward walk, which is a killer when you are trying dodge something.

Therefore why can't we do a Repelling Shot anywhere? If we are on the lock on target and we can't walk correctly backward at decent speed, can we have repelling as a 'dodging' skill anywhere?

You might say it would be OP, but DRG do have a backward jump without this restriction, so they can be locked on and dodge aoes. I'd like to suggest SE remove this nasty "hug the enemy before being able to repel them" restriction.

Discuss with love.

Regards,
