Guild Wars 2

I am going to bring this to the attention of all the crying kids out there getting pew pewd by rapid fire and thinking it’s just rapid fire.

Rapid Fire didn’t get a damage buff..
Same damage. Faster Cast.

But then you have this signet.

That gives you 25% damage boost.
On top of giving you stability. So very few classes can now interrupt you during said burst period.

No other signet in game gives you this kind of damage boost + immunity to stop damage with CC (because of stability)

..im not even going to bother with this..

NO, IT GOT A DPS BUFF! WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT EVERYONE MEANS WHEN THEY SAY “RAPID FIRE GOT A DAMAGE BUFF!” THAT STATEMENT IS STILL TRUE BECAUSE THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT THE DAMAGE THE ABILITY DOES OVER ITS DURATION, NOT EACH INDIVIDUAL HIT!

OF COURSE YOU WERE AWARE OF THAT! YOU’RE JUST CHOOSING TO ARGUE THE SEMANTICS OF THE STATEMENT RATHER THAN THE INTENT BECAUSE THAT’S EASIER!

Nope mathematic is too complicated for both of you:

Bevor patch a Ranger could use RF every 15 seconds.
Now he deals the exact same amount of dmg within 12,5 seconds! If you follow the rules of logic, a Ranger has now 2,5 seconds left in which he can deal dmg. t his is a dmg increase of 2,5/15 —> 16,66 % more dmg!

I don’t want so say that the ranger class did not need this buff. I am fine with it, even if i don’t play Ranger.

BUT I want to clear some false statements that are made here!

Rangers recieved a huge dmg buff!

Edit 2:

Op is right: RF is easier to dodge, but on the other hand easier to land (hard & soft cc e.g.) and with the average dmg buff it is a buff not a balance.
