Weapon Class* | *Positives* | *Negatives |
Light Thrown | Fast Speed, No Penalty from Snap | Uses Melee Calcs, No AIM, Low Single Shot Damage |
Heavy Thrown | Avg Speed, Good Single Shot Damage, No Penalty from Snap | Uses Melee Calcs, No AIM |
Short Bow | Fast Speed, Uses Ranged Calcs, AIM, High Single Shot Damage | No Shield While Loaded |
Long Bow | Avg Speed, Uses Ranged Calcs, AIM, Very High Single Shot Damage | No Shield While Loaded |

Light Crossbow | Uses Ranged Calcs, AIM, High Single Shot Damage, May Load Ahead of Time | Slow Speed |
Heavy Crossbow | Uses Ranged Calcs, AIM, Very High Single Shot Damage, May Load Ahead of Time | Horrible Speed |
Targeted Magic | Flexible Speed, Uses Ranged Calcs, TARGET, Flexible Single Shot Damage | Depletes Mana, Contests Barrier Spells |
**Key
Uses Melee Calcs - Attack accuracy/damage is reliant upon user's balance (Based on my understanding)
Uses Ranged Calcs - Attack accuracy/damage not reliant upon user's balance (Based on my understanding)
Low Single Shot Damage - Weak vs Shield, Armor and Damage Reduction Spells/Abilities
No Penalty from Snap - Doesn't suffer the 70% skill penalty for not using the AIM/TARGET verb
AIM/TARGET - Provides potential to attack at 130% skill bonus
I'm not sure if player suggestions are on the table at this point, but personally I always enjoy imagining how things could be! So, using the metrics above here is where I would like for the revised TM based damaging Scream Concussive to fall.
Ability* | *Positives* | *Negatives |
Scream Concussive | Uses Ranged Calcs, Very High Single Shot Damage, No Penalty from Snap | Depletes Inspiration, Horrible Re-Use Speed |
I'm curious, how would the new TM based Scream Concussive best serve you using metrics similar to the above? I would only ask that you try to balance your ideal Scream Concussive against the other weapon skills noted above :)
