Guild Wars 2

Currently Main-hand pistols for all classes have about the same activation time of rifles/longbows, however they have a lot less damage as well for some reason.

It says they have the activation time of “½”, but its closer to 0.92, almost the same as rifles which are 0.96. However, rifles do a lot more damage then pistols do.

Can you please change the pistol’s attack speed to be more-like the ranger’s shortbow (0.54?) Or nerf the ranger’s short bow to be the same speed as the pistols?

If you can fix that, can you also look at the speed of the thieves short-bow’s auto-attack as well? It should be around 0.25? (yeah it seems ridiculous, but it seems way to slow now that the projectiles don’t follow the target.) too.

if pistols were viable I would absolutely play them. (thief)

Pistols are viable i have seen a lot of thiefs using them very well.

Also to the original post, i dont think we need more speed attacks from a far, if anything they should be slower.

And more power.

you’ve obviously never seen guardian mace and hammer. You have nothing to complain about until you’ve played those weapons. So slow..so very-very slow…

Hammer is supposed to be slower than pistol. Swigging a gigantic hammer, don’t think it should be faster than putting a trigger on pistol. Though, only the final chain attack is slow and it gives protection., the first two is pretty fast. Same with mace.

Yeah, I’m glad pulling a trigger is slower in this game then swinging a hammer, makes a lot of sense.

Also makes a lot of sense that pulling out an arrow, putting it on your bow and firing is faster then firing a pistol.

This is how thieves should fire there pistols. By the way, these are black powder revolvers.
