Chaos3: Earthquake Range INCREASE (With Pictures)

You read it right, in Part 3 of Chaos, Earthquake's getting its range back. Well, not enough to restore it to its former glory but pretty damn close. Once again, credit goes to Fiel from SP for actually making the extractions but credit must also be given to @AngelxHoly: for PMing me about this exciting news and informing me of the increase. So here are some pictures to give you, once again, an accurate idea of the increase we're looking at.

First of all, with the introduction of the second part of the Reorg Patch, EQ's range was reduced from:

Now, finally, with the introduction of the third Chaos Patch, its range has been increased from:
[url=http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w11/ashje_photo/maplerange2.jpg]220%[/url] ==> [url=http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w11/ashje_photo/maplerange3.jpg]275%[/url]

This isn't quite the old 300% but it does allow us to hit platforms vertically again, so I'm satisfied for now. Unfortunately, with this patch comes a reduction in Phantom Imprint's damage (660 ==> 400) and players now need to be within a certain range of the Evan to receive the Onyx's Protection buff (specifically [url=http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w11/ashje_photo/maplerange4.jpg]400%[/url]).

[quote=Jumbojet777]Oh did anyone notice that there is now a 5 second cooldown on eq? Yep, go to fiel's extractions if you don't believe me..[/quote]

Thats for PVP. If you can find me where it has a 5 second cooldown on a regular basis, I'd like a link.
If I'm wrong, sorry in advance.

@Below: Exactly what I was thinking.

@Fabler: I'm not going to argue with you, it is a powerful mobbing skill. But, too be honest, being the only P2P class left, we deserve it. Not only because of that, but we are pretty much being bent over a table by Nexon with this update, we need a skill like this. Besides, there are KSing jerks in every class.

@AngelxHoly: Shhhh, I'm leaving it there.
@Mageklan: Blaze needs to be buffed and needs to mob, I'm still annoyed at what they did to it.
@FireWithin: Every class has the potential to KS. Look at a DW's Soul Driver.
@Fabler: *thinks back to every WH that's run through a map spamming one move or another to KS me out* I'm pretty sure you can't complain about being KSed.

[quote=Fabler]I'm annoyed at this. Right now I have a Evan ksing me with this skill, hitting almost the entire map.. It's range should really decrease.. Maybe a nice little cooldown..

Wouldnt the captains minidungeon be better? It's nice and flat.

Also, just because some evans abuse their skill doesnt mean we should all suffer the consequences.
I had some arrogant, rude WH come into my ghost pirate map and kill about half of it. He didnt even change channels until I asked him to, even though I was clearly there.
Do you think all WHs should get crossroads nerfed because of that WH?
