Guild Wars 2

What’s the better ranged option for warriors in fractals? Rifle or longbow? Mostly just for those few bosses that are easier to range dps.

Like which boss?

Learn to melee!

edit: longbow

Longbow is better. You get a fire field, a blast, and blind options.

As others have said, Longbow is overall better if you absolutely had to use ranged weapons. The only one instance I could think of that might be different is with the Ice Elementals (cause the adds can sometimes block shots).

But you should melee the ice elemental anyway

I should clarify my statement, because I realize that it doesn’t look clear.

The only time I would select rifle instead of longbow if I had to choose a ranged weapon would be at the ice elemental where you could pierce when the occasional add walks in the way of your shot. But yes, melee. o_o)-b
