Running from Predator Claws is going to be harder now I guess >_>;

itd be nice if they made that change apply to BPs outside of ballista as well, which is probably exactly why they never will.

>.> At the same time I like, and don't like it. I do because this means I can finally (and probably) do some worth for SMN in Ballista. Providing 2hour range got dramatically extended as well (using the word "dramatically" very, VERY loosey here). Don't like because this means with the increased range I actually have to not mess around with SMNs -.-;

Omg they actually listened. SMN is the worst job at ballista, pretty much because people run up to you, ws, and you die, while you're pet is 20 miles away getting pathing errors and your foe is too far to do shit.
