Idea for Crackshot rework

Remove the Dispatch addition.
Remove the Subterfuge stance requirement.
Replace the stance requirement with the Ghostly Strike debuff instead.
Add that Ghostly Strike resets the CD on Between the Eyes.

Done.

No messy Vanish GCD’s. Twelves seconds instead of six. Restless Blades would easily keep Ghostly Strike on or near CD after every use. Adrenaline Rush would CDR would probably take a slight hit, but its negotiable considering the amount of window you have for BtE Aces.

It’s also usable in Open/World solo instances and a buff in PvP since Ghostly Strike has no animation to speak of so you’d have the element of surprise.

‘‘Crackshot’’ is the disguised/reworked talent ‘‘Dreadblade’’ but with huge RnG.

IMO : Just bring back dreadblade…which is themed to the spec 1000% more then a crackshot ability that makes us look like a shooter…when we are a melee spec…
We pirates…not snipers…or shooters…or whatvr…

Taking away dreadblades completely killed the flavor of the spec imo.

Also, dreadblades was bringing a most needed steady, reliable & fluid rotation to the spec.

Lots of good ideas so far.

Crackshot having extra Dispatch damage is fine but the other cap stones have to be balanced around that. GSW needs a damage buff and Ghostly Strike should have armor pen with it.

That way GS and GSW are balanced properly against Crackshot.
