World Improvement To Arrow Storm Tiers 2 & 3

Currently, Arrow Storms MK II & III is annoying to hit single mobs with. I'm a lvl 92 archer, and if I'm fighting a boss or rare mob and I want to use Arrow Storm, I basically only hit with 1 of my 3 streams of arrows at once, unless I shake my camera a ton, which is super annoying to do, or unless I circle the mob.

My solution to this is to randomize Arrow Storm more. What do I mean? Basically, as soon as you cast Arrow Storm, a single point within a 1.5 block radius of your head or feet is chosen at random, and fires an arrow in that direction. Then, another random point within the same radius is chosen, and fires an arrow in that direction. This process is repeated several times to create the "Storm" effect.

Pros:

• Makes hitting single mobs with Arrow Storm easier.
• Makes hitting small clusters of mobs with Arrow Storm easier.
• Fits in with "Storm" better, since as of current it's just 1, 2, or 3 straight lines of arrows, which doesn't feel like a storm. A random cluster of arrows feels more like a storm.
• Concentrating fire is easier.

Cons:

• Could take some time to code.
• Might take some time before people are used to this way of how Arrow Storm works.

 

Does Arrow Storm really need a buff though? It's already fairly powerful (aside from having to run right up to the mob you're aiming at and risk massive damage I suppose)

 

It's not a buff exactly.

 

I feel like this is more hassle than it’s worth. I do agree that archer’s arrow storm should be more single targeted considering it’s their only ability that’s really viable for single target, but the idea you suggest seems like it would take a lot of code.

Like, a lot.

Perhaps they could remove the other streams and just make the one stream marginally better, but other than that I couldn’t imagine this ability changing very much. Who knows how much code they’d have to scrap and how much time they would have wasted writing the original code.
