What next? AoE Heart Seeker? Its not even bad idea, its stupid idea.

Champs have an AoE bleed with ~1000 armour reduction if traited...

We already kinda have a bleed with the fire dots, and with it so easy to cap crit with a cappy, and the 2 AoE traits we have, it is almost impossible not to have a bleed (fire dot) on the mob in range within a few hits...

That said, above poster, calling someone's idea stupid... bad form

Why is it a bad idea? It's not a slippery slope, it's just an idea.

Might be good, but I'm fine with just single target DPS right now.

I'd rather see Arrow Storm changed and a third AoE skill added. That way, AoEing on Hunter would be more than "let's see how many times I can mash this one skill before I break the keyboard", but YMMV.

I play hunter to do extreme single target dps, AoE skills sit in a forlorn corner of my quickslots. I personally have no interest in such a skill...unless the slow was on it too, then I might use it in the moors...maybe.

Also, haters gonna hate, but please not here, we have more than enough to go around already :P

Youre right, it was wrong, im sorry DutchEZ. Anyway, idea is still too OP.

I presume you want a ranged AoE bleed ... as Low Cut with a legendary legacy can have a 50% bleed chance - so it's AoE damage, damage over time, and a slow too... so probably overpowered already

Rain of Arrows. Fire-oil. Spammable.

Nuff said.

Not a good idea... we pull threat the way it is. With a bleed attached we would be like the head cheerleader on prom night.... everyone will want to slow dance up close and personal. While the AOE is fun, it is also counterproductive to our class. We can hit big numbers on multiple targets but we can't take the beating that will come from it. Aggro dump, better healing, increased armor and mits and sure, but no way right now.

I think that the Hunter should become the sole best DPS class of LotRO, so the three trait lines would be given in these forms:

• Huntsman - Speed
• (New Name/Yellow Line) - AoE Damage
• Bowmaster - Single Damage

Stuff giving us a 2nd role; none of them will ever work. Just make us a pure damage dealing class.

An AoE Barbed Arrow would be seen as over powered, but maybe if it was a new capstone trait for the revamped AoE yellow line?

Well, I dont see why AoE bleed would be a bad thing, perhaps tie it to Split Shot?

Only if Split Shot radius gets a buff as well, otherwise the skill would be added to the Scrap Yard.

It should have a small buff yes, but I do like Split Shot for precision AoE - at least the concept of it.

I think an AOE skill would be better in melee because no one likes to get aggro since the hunter is squishy. In melee it would be a defence skill, not an attack one, a hunter is good killing one by one.
