[1.4.4] PLEASE remove skirmishers altogether

[jenx]

They are ridiculously overpowered. I was just one shot by a skirmisher, straight through shielding rune, time shield and all my hps.

In a patrol in the west. PLEASE can they be removed entirely from the game until they are fixed, not just as rares/bosses.

[Radon26]

any details about it?
like distance, what was the ability called?
what was your and enemy's lvl?
could it have been a randboss with a ridiculous ammo?

[Einzbern]

I thought skirmisher was already removed from the pool of classes rares/uniques/bosses can pull from. Was it readded with Embers or something?

[Micbran]

I think he just means that one of the patrol dudes randomly had a Skirmisher talent and sling. I could be wrong though.

[jenx]

Yes, just patrol member. Talent was bullshot.

I was a powerful paradox message, insane rl.

I take out patrols all the time, so this was unexpected

[Radon26]

..bullshot 0.o
since mage was somehow turned it message, i assume its autocorrected killshot.

hmm...
at lvl5, it does 166% base...
at range 10 (Eldoral Last Resort could do that) it gains 250%, making it a total of just over 4x the shot base damage...

i was going to calculate possible damage when i realized 2 things. again you didnt say the lvl...

and its insane, so all calculation go out the window, as they pretty much have they own rules.
i mean, 30 turns disease?! that doesn't even scale!

[Micbran]

Bullshot... Isn't that an archer talent?

If Bull shot is what killed you, you'll be pleased to know it was not a skirmisher talent.

[Razakai]

As scary as Skirmishers were, Archers can be on par with them as we've just seen. Bull Shot has an obscenely high damage scalar on it.

[jenx]

OK, sounds like just plain bad luck then. Mind you, I still don't like skirmishers, lol
