Guild Wars 2

Why can’t we get boons application ranges up to 1500 distance units so that ranged specs can actually play at ranged distances as opposed to the current “everyone stand on top of each other in melee range of the target and ignore as much as possible” playstyle we have today?

LOL

currently is dps/healing spam.
Now you want to remove probably one of the few things left to do?

becouse there should be some drawback to being safe 1500 units away from enemy shouldent it?

Actually 1500 units radius would 750 units dinstance from enemies.

No becouse enemy dont have to be right on top of the buffer the spirit for example can be 750 units away from enemy and then player can be 750 units away from the spirit.

So can be both in the end.
Then is not a No but a maybe, like the opposite.

Deadeye seems to be playing a Little with boon application range. Still a shorter radius, but it can be centred either on self or target in different circumstances, so you can actually snipe from distance and give boons to the melee around the mob. I’m curious how that’s going to work out!

Spoken like a true roleplayer. Imagine how wvw and pvp would be with such a change.

Actually guardian virtues used to be 1200 range until 2 years ago. In WvW, all that resulted is people running into increasingly dense balls.
