This ability gives the Ranger a small potency buff for 10 seconds. It's pretty useless, other than the proc that gives a chance to reset Sniper Shot. Because of the way this spell is coded, the reuse of the spell doesn't actually start until the 10 second buff completes. Therefore, its best to cast and then immediately cancel it. Now the corresponding Assassin ability, decreases their hate, gives a CB buff, has a chance to reset Assassinate, and allows the Assassin to get off an entire FFU chain. It's basically essential for the Assassin, whereas the Ranger version is just a double click and hope for Sniper Shot reset. The Assassin version also immediately starts the reuse, so their version is up more often.

I'd like to see this ability changed in the following ways.
  1. When you cast Wreak Havoc the reuse should immediately start. Basically, remove the need to cancel it. This is how the Assassin version currently works.
  2. Lower its reuse to 30 seconds.
  3. Lower the duration to 8 seconds.
  4. Replace the potency buff with "increases effectiveness by 0.02% of primary attribute" of your next ranged attacks. This should be ~50 fervor/effectiveness for current Agility amount.
  5. Replace the "No ammo will be consumed" with "Decreases threat priority of target by 1 position".

In Plain Sight gets a Damage Proc, Direct Assault, on Top. How can this be even considered of being balanced. The Ranger Version should have a similar proc attached , too.

i agree the need to dbl click it to make it go on cd is annoying and would be lovely if it was removed or if the buff portion of it to the next stealth attack was all of them for the duration instead of just 1 and the damage buff to next stealth attack needs to be replaced to something like effectiveness or fervor/fervor overcap.
