Squig Herder Needs a Nerf

[rorswar]

Maybe nerf SW's free crit damage first? lileath+barrage spam?

You mean the one where you need to take a tactic to get more +crit % proc, whilst also increasing your own chance to be crit?

Dont forget about the part when sh pet on foot outruns you on the mount and dismounts you and then groups catch up.

In general pets have way too many bugs, just remove them all together.

As a shadow warrior seeing squiggie pet is demoralising.

Do you want 25% extra dmg with 1/3 uptime. Or like 25-35% dmg with 100% uptime

Their single target blows SW out of the water

You make it sound like that tactic is not good on a range dps.
It is exremely strong.

It's good. However,

1) It requires a tactic slot
2) It is a proc
3) It increases your chance to be crit with 10%

So it has plenty of trade-offs associated with it.

Still nothing about the broken scaling of the spiked squig. 150% from bs + 50% from your ws is always better than 100% bs + 100% ws unless you are dealing with heavy armor.

Combine this broken scaling with a permanent -%5 debuff to crit from pet (not like AA debuff with a long cooldown, suck it WL), AA tactic and you'll get the thing which is annoying to the squishies by itself - and its deadly if you're focused by its master at the same time.

I wouldn't mind if shad warrior had some single target spec to compare
