After upgrade Windy Beacon is BAD Before Upgrade = Windy beacon can pushes 2 cells
After Upgrade = Windy beacon can pushes only 1 cell

WHY ?

push 2 cells is better than 1 cell

When fight VS other class cra need to protect the range. Windy beacon is important to do this.
Please upgrade and give back Windy beacon can push 2 cells or MORE.

Also No W point for Retreat Arrow please,.

So only beacon need W point

After Upgrade, great part of class has been nerfed ... its so badly, now only iop are strongs

Aren't you just considering your own position into this?

Having the windy beacon pushing two cells would basically make it a permanent retreat arrow, still allowing you to attack after the pushing has been done.

You have to remember you can -still- use it's pushing properties, and you still can push two cells. You just will have to spend (at least) 2 more AP for that. It still deals damage so I see nothing wrong with that.

This was done in order to balance battles, especially PvP.

A Cra would formerly beat melee opponents very easily. Say you are fighting against an Iop. You could , back there, push it four cells with 6 AP if you'd use retreat arrow, and afterwards summon a windy beacon and activate it.

That whithin the fact a Cra would move 3 more cells away with it's default MP. That is at least -seven- cells of distance between you. A Cra fighting against an Iop wouldn't even give it a chance to attack before losing.

This distance has been shortened in the current patch, but still exists. The reason your pushing spells have a WP cost is exactly for limiting this vantage Cras have.

And yet, 6 WP is still enough to win a match before losing all of it. As an amateur Cra, I have to say I have never finished a fight with 0 WP.
Thus, unless you plan on spamming beacons and retreat arrows, I can't see a reason for your insatisfaction.

An iop specced for it can close 10+ squares in a turn.

Let's say it's a base move 3, 8 AP build. Fairly common. Move 3, jump 2, flatten 5!

Yeah flatten lets you close by 5 squares, at lvl 8.

I know at least one iop running around with 6 move, and maxed flatten.

You cannot escape him.

Although what I implied was just an example, you reffered to such Iop as if it would necessarily have Flatten. What if it doesn't?

I do see your point, but it isn't the main one.
