Change Grape Bomb to not remove Focus

[high thicket]

EDIT: I was notified that Grape Bomb is not a Sharpshooter ability, I have no idea why I thought I read that in the ability tree. This severely weakens whatever argument I had, so proceed with caution if you do bother to read this, though I think it still stands as technically it's not for any class which makes it seem like a beneficial upgrade to everyone even though it hurts Sharpshooters.

I'm not sure if this has been posted before so apologies if this is a tired argument. If I'm just skill issuing really hard please let me know as well, but the ability for me is unusable.

Getting the Grape Bomb ability as a Sharpshooter is not beneficial in the slightest. If the following bombs after the first hit don't land on a target (which considering they are pretty hard to aim in a chain) they completely kill your stocked up Focus, which prevents you from using certain vital Sharpshooter abilities like Crepuscular Ray or Twain's Arc due to you losing all your Focus.

I'm not sure if Grape Bomb has the potential to be really useful in crowd situations where there are a lot of mobs and enemies for the bombs to bounce off of which can give Focus, never was able to try, but single enemy fights is just you throwing away whatever Focus you stocked up after using Arrow Bomb.

I think the easiest fix for this would be to prevent the following bombs after the first hit to not have any impact on Focus.

Tbh i like focus the way it is
Is it punishing
Yes
But it is also a very significant dps boost if you dont suck
And i also find it funny that missing anything will completely delete your focus

Also reacting woth both and for obvious reasons

[high thicket]

that's fair, though i think the fact that grape bomb is way too hard to aim for how easily it gets rid of your focus with going against single opponents making it impossible to keep focus provided you want to use arrow bomb

[unkempt shadow]

Well yeah
Sharpshooter is kinda locked out if a big part of the atree if you want to keep focus

which would either cause people to avoid using arrow bomb or prevent people from getting the node entirely, both decently easy to do but still being inconvenient and unsuited for the archetype it's for

Tbf grape bomb is a trapper ability

[high thicket]

wait holy shit

IM AN IDIOT LMAO

i really thought i saw a sharpshooter thing on the bottom when i looked at the class tree, i need to change my post now holy lord im dumb

[unkempt shadow]

x)

[high thicket]

i might just delete this post it's so over for me

tbh i think it's the least like sharpshooter so i have no idea why it's in between trapper and sharpshooter

[worn basalt]

nah im with you on this, sharp should have more synergy with the rest of the tree, things like leap and guardian angels are thematically fitting but are impossible to grab without messing up either arrow bomb or shield, and grape is very clearly made accessible to sharp instead of bolt for some reason

[valid acorn]

it shouldnt even be selectable by sharpshooter its the most fuckass design ever

im sure xav will do something about this in 2.1 though

there's lots of AT stuff that's either unpolished or completely unnecessary and im hoping this update comes to finally acknowledge them

[native owl]
