    I just noticed that the armor break from explosive shot only triggers when the arrow hits a marked target. Has it always been like this or did bigpoint apply a secret nerf again?

    Been like that as far as I remember. I think it's in the tool tip as well.

    --MERGED--

    It happened before r156 then.

    Sorry deleted my reply. I'm beyond frustrated with the quiet nerfs that don't get announced like the concentration skill.

    Yep, transparency is better than doing it in secret. I think the community would be less aggressive if they could trust BP not doing something secretly.

    I know it is in the tool tip now, but it wasn't at first. Just read the old description here.
    That's why I'm asking.

    I'm not sure when it happened is all I'm saying, it was prior to the latest release though. I know that one thread said there have been like 4 hotfixes with no mention of changelogs so maybe that's when it happened. Many companies seem to only highlight major changes and leave it to the players to find the ninja edits. In this case, I feel like the targets should have required marking all along to get the armor break.

    when i loged in to the test server first time ever for R155 the armor break skill was same as it is now
    it always needed marked enemies but that was not mentioned in the start...( i had received lvl 45 ra on TS)
    and i remember it that i thought it was bug that mobs are not breaking but when i focused than i knew...
    EDIT :first time i loged in on 27 august

    Hello to all the concerned rangers,

    I cross-checked my info with edit histories and can confirm that the description to Explosion Shot has not been changed. It has been this way since the last version of r155 on the TS. The description in the link you used, @sdknightno1, has a number of inaccuracies, not just the one you noticed. THIS guide is more up-to-date.

    Question answered. Closing thread.

    Cheers,
    Anyki
