I know I can't be the only one thinking this... EES needs to go. It has to be by far the most useless special ability out there. Once an hour you get to pop off a shot that does half your WS damage? What makes that so special? But after thinking it over and over and over, I can't seem to come up with my own idea for a new rng special. I'm sure someone can come up with something better than my blank, so lets hear them!

If EES is doing half your WS dmg than something is wrong with your EES set :/
Besides it's good for doing stuff like this :D

That'd be nice but would never work. By the time you draw that third shot the mob would have already eaten your face. lol

and ok calling it half a ws isn't completly true. but at best it's only like having another WS and I can think if a few JAs on 5 min or less timers that do that.

They won't get rid of it. Bst still has charm. Last couple years it has been completely worthless. It's "ok" with the new content now. They can change abilities to do something different like scavenge now. I do agree though. Playing ranger, it does feel worthless. With anni I do beleive the 3x's the damage can go to EES. I've yet to do it, just what I've heard.

How does this have any relevance? You are comparing a 15 sec recast JA that is not so worthless till you can use Call Beast to a 1 hour recast JA?

Give EES a higher TP return. Between 80-100%. This would give you a damage spike + the ability to ws again relatively rapidly.

RNG: "This is my ultimate attack! Eagle eye shot! I won't miss!"
Arrow/bullet: "..Screw you!" *misses*

They really, really need to do away with the acc cap BS on this one at least.

Just make it Eagle Eye Shots and let it turn all ranged attacks into EES for 30 seconds.
