[Random Musing] - Making Archers viable in 'bomb' groups

New skill that places a 'bundle of arrows' on the ground at your position; this skill cannot be placed in RvR zones.
This bundle applies a buff to you with a radius of 100 units.
While under the effects of this buff all your arrow hit like targeted area effects around your target.

Not bad.

Now make all melee attacks have the same effect.

My main goal here was to provide archer classes with some viability to get XP groups (and not have to solo... slowly.... and painfully). As it stands right now, there are a select # of classes that are just... 'not useful' and pretty much not considered for leveling groups at all. I personally think more diversity in the classes you see commonly at 50 is healthier for the game, and more friendly to new players coming back.

You seem to have some thoughts to share on this matter? Curious, what about this proposal impacts you or the game directly in a negative way?

I get it
But for solo leveling archers have one of the easiest times of classes....find orange camp...use correct arrow three shots is dead
And there still are players out there that feel your pain and will invite
Scouts are great for blocking and pulling

God forbid leveling be more streamlined and inclusive. Gotta keep those caster-only groups going strong!

And don't try telling me there is a place for melee in a group, I have at least one of everything in the game 50 on this server, and unless you can spec shield you are not wanted in any PBAE group on any realm, and even then if you're in Hibernia you're still shit outta luck most days.

I’ve been in mid groups where melee oriented and nearly just as fast as caster
Been in alb group with friar with reflex that was insanely fast

You seem to always be the contrarian who is always right
