Guild Wars 2

Y’know some traits say something like “Reduces cooldown on longbow skills” or something? Does this affect the 1 (autoattack) skill. I presume no, but some light would be nice =) Thanks.

If it affect the auto-attack or not is irrelevant. The cooldown on auto-attack is zero, so event if you reduce that of 20%, you still have zero cooldown.

Thanks. That was my thinking on it too, but I’ve learned not to trust tooltips, lol..

The tooltips in this case is correct, the trait will reduce the CD, but as stated above, 20% reduction of 0 is 0
The problem with Longbow (on rangers) is the aftercast time, that is the time needed to be able to cast anything else, and on LB is is kinda high.

Agreed, lol..

Think I’ll still give LB a go in WvW though, just for fun, not success :P
