Message: <blockquote data-quote="FrogReaver" data-source="post: 7245336" data-attributes="member: 6795602">You explained pretty well why single target damage matters.  It reduces the number of counter attacks.  Given your strategy of immediately attacking the enemy you used hordebreaker on after you kill your primary target that will also help reduce counter attacks.  Because of that and since most of the rangers damage is still single target I think you are right than an exception should be made for horde breaker that doesn't normally get made for aoe skills.  Thanks for making such a compelling case.  That said, I'm not really sure if horde breaker will be better than colossus slayer as it feels to me like horde breaker is likely to get used far less than colossus slayer does.  My initial thoughts is that hordebreaker will apply to around 33% of your turns.  What are your thoughts on that?My assumptions are 2 combats of 4 rounds each, short rest 2 combats of 4 rounds each, short rest, 2 combats of 4 rounds each.  A total of 24 combat rounds in a day and 2 short rests.Precision use in actual play is not going to be perfect.  It doesn't take very many attacks at an enemy to get a decent idea for where it's ac is.  There's also repeated enemies that you have fought before and figured out their ac before.  Even if you use precision in a case outside the 1-4 range it still generally has a decent chance to help.  So I'd say impact is minor if you take basic queues from the game.  If you can tell what kind of Armor an enemy is wearing you can about guess its AC.  If you are fighting a beast its AC is generally lower like 13ish give or take a point or 2.  It's not hard to guess that if you rolled a total of 10 on a beast you probably should use precision.  If you rolled a 13 on a guy in medium armor you should probably use a precision etc.  Since the requirement rarely comes up that you need their exact AC then a ballpark of their AC is typically good enough till you hone in on it a little closer.  My guy says that 75% of precision dice should work due to this change instead of a little over 80% of them.  I'm open to other suggestions though.Good point about precision BTW.</blockquote>
