Guild Wars 2

The Short Bow has taken some major hits over the year, there is no real denying that.
It’s still an awesome weapon;however, it really is missing a decent aoe.
The range has been nerfed on SB, the condition stacks at the speed they use to be applied have been nerfed so ya….

Suggestion:
Update Poison Volley:

Damage (*x) : 435 [removed the 5, the * = for every hit]

Poison (1 second) 2 stacks: [nerfed from 2 1/2 seconds since there will be multiple hits now, dropped the stack count from 5 to 2, same reason.]

Range: 900 [kept the same]

Combo Finisher: Poisonous Gas [new combo finisher, when conditions are met, a poisonous field spawns infecting everyone in the field with a 2 second poison with 3 stacks.]

Cast Time: 1/4 second [same]

Recharge: 8 seconds [increased by 3/4 of a second]

Duration of the volley when fired: 5 seconds, hits all targets in the aoe circle.

General Mechanic:
When activated, an aoe circle is placed at your mouse tip, you place the circle with in range and fire. Same general mechanic as Barrage on Long Bow. Could reduce the aoe circle on this skill update to be 1/3 smaller.

Just a modest proposal
