Rob - Sneaking Requirement

[Auxic]

I would like to request a change to the ability Rob. The request would be to remove the sneaking ability requirement.

Its a beautiful ability and does decent damage if it could be casted without using sneak abilities first during mid combat like any other Brigand combat art this would be a much nicer ability to have if it wasnt for the precasting requirement of a sneaking ability.

I agree that it needs an update, however, instead of removing the sneak requirement, why not give it a bigger benefit because of the sneak requirement. For example, instead of it doing "decent" damage, why not make it do "great" damage or provide some sort of group/raid buff when it hits?

Suggestion 1:
Increase the damage done by Rob by 50%

Suggestion 2:
Add a raid wide 500 Crit bonus/CBoC buff that lasts 12 seconds

Suggestion 3:
Add a raid wide 75 Fervor/FervorOC buff that lasts 12 seconds

Part of why I say raid wide instead of just group is because in raids, the sneak requirement is actually even more difficult to get it off, so going to the entire raid in the event the brigand can land it should be a bigger reward.

I wouldn't mind Suggestion 3. A decrease of 7.4 fervor to a mob is useless, and would be an excellent replacement.

I would love to see the sneaking requirement removed from this ability. Great suggestion! Half the time the invis gets broken before you can even cast rob anyways resulting in wasted time and lowering overall dps.

All scouts have certain abilities that need to use shroud/sneak. It used to really play a big part of dps and knowing when and how. Not so much now, but still it was there to create that "rotation". Adding something like option 3 would be cool and probably keep brigands relevant in next expac as I'm sure they will jump back to a CB barrier lol and not pot. Seems to be their theme.

They removed so much positionals etc...please dont change something what isnt broken let the sneaking part in. A Buff on that would be great too.


. ...and really? If you are not able to go invis with Booth Dagger and Cast Rob ...thats a skill issue...
