Ki burst replacement

**pyro20**

I know people have asked for roots to be added to the MA tree before, but this is slightly different.
What about an aura in place of Ki burst that drains IS every 5 seconds with 10 metre radius, and reduces enemies movement speed by around 60%.
This would give MAs a better chance of ILing people, especially against spies and hackers, who tend to disappear as soon as their shield is down.

Not a terrible idea, but there's always hindering shot.

**pyro20**

Hindering shot lasts 8 seconds and has an 8 second re-use timer, so leaves a good chance for your target to escape, with an aura, you would at least be able to slow them while chasing, giving a better chance for success.

Also, you have to equip thegun for hindering shot, which you'll have to repeat after each shield break, also, if you're anywhere as laggy as me, you'll have trouble just pulling it off between each shield break.

The only problem I can see with giving MA's an viable root option means that all builds which can't handle interlock will suffer greatly (although they should work around that disadvantage anyway).

Possibly if the effect lasted like Hindering shot about 8 seconds it would mean that the MA would get 2 shield hits and then a chance to re-use the ability, with a second inbetween it would be down to the speed at which the evading hostile can mash the keyboard.

Hindering shot is useless without a huge accuracy boost. As an MA your ballistic defence is fine but your accuracy is bollocks.
try even hitting an MKT with it.

Actually MA has good accuracy but little defense, but it relies on the self defense buff I'd have thought since no MA styles involve any ballistic accuracy, which has rubbish accuracy anyway. Plus as you said most normal Gunmen have trouble hitting an MKT.

Hindering Shot misses way more than it hits. I actual rarely use it because of that (fair enough the odd time it hits and you can get them in il.) Theres been sometimes I'v been at mara and missed hittin a lowbie, not once but as much as 8 times (that time i actually just gave up lol)

Ki Burst is really crappy. I only use it when we have more numbers, hit prowess and that and you're lucky to hit what 150 dmg? 70 IS for a really low dmg move and like a 30% chance to enrage (which rarely works lol saw countless people roll out after i'v hit them with it.)

So yeah I'd like to see Ki Burst to something a bit more useful and lower IS.
