I think baking old SV gameplay into MM could be feasible with the new trees.
- Remove explosive shot from general tree and replace with serpent spread (only available if serpent sting is taken). Procs on multishot and carve/butchery.
- Put explosive shot (old version) as an alternative for aimed shot. Lower mana cost, lower cooldown, less total damage.
- Make other aimed shot talents work with explosive shot. Shouldn’t be too difficult, only thing that needs to change mechanically is trick shot I think, just make it so explosive shot deals minor AOE damage around the affected target.
- Add black arrow as a talent below L&L. Each tick has a chance to proc L&L.
It’s just a 5 minutes brainstorming btw, don’t judge too fast.
