Guild Wars 2

Body Shot, while having uses to support your allies is lack luster. Its initiative cost is high, its cast time is high and other professions have better ways to consistently stack vulnerability. This leads Body Shot to be a largely ignored ability.

This suggestion is to change Body Shot to something new

Enter: Blunderbuss

Blunderbuss-Shoots several bullets in a single shot, each shot causes vulnerability.

Shots are spread out in a cone shape with a 65 degree angle from the player using “blunderbuss”.

Damage: (per shot) 130
(2 stacks of) Vulnerability: For 5 seconds (per shot)
Combo Finisher: Projectile
Range: 900
Initiative Cost: 4 (its powerful so I feel it needs to have a higher cost then 3)
Number of shots: 7

It gives main hand pistol thieves “AoE”, vulnerability, some really, really good burst damage when used at point blank range and can be used strategically in P/D, P/P.

This will synergize with the following abilities

Steal
Shadowstep
Shadow Trap
Infiltrator’s Signet

Please note the numbers are rough and may need to be adjusted…130 may be too high for several shots if you activate it at point blank range vs a single target.
