Does anyone ever ask this question? I’m pretty disappointed in the direction gw2 is going honestly.

It’s 70/30 pew pew in favor.

I mean seriously…….the Warrior class….main weapon…..

Longbow

What isn’t wrong with this picture?

Am I witnessing the death cong of gw2 pvp?

GW2 went from all melee to mostly melee. Warrior focusing on longbow is a warrior issue, not a problem with the game being all ranged combat.

Besides, if you’re really all about melee, just do PvE. The vast majority of meta builds for dungeons revolves around melee. =P

because moving your kitten and going melee with ranged classes is too hard i guess, pro tip: you can los reterded lb rangers all day anyway so you don’t even have to move that much..if you los them they will get closer…when they get closer you can rek them.

I think this is actually very good advice. Stick with melee in PvE and with ranged combat in PvP. I do not know if ArenaNet intends to give any of the other professions a 100-blades skill on a 1200 range, but you never know.

Thanks.

When I run my Guardian build (i’ve posted the exact build in the PvP forums) I tend to be range players worst nightmare. All my teleport moves with my high DPS and spirit shield really is the rock to range players scissor lol check it out and see if you like it or not.

LOL! +1

I actually commented to someone that coming after an Engineer with melee was akin to wading through a miasma of constant AoEs in those small moments when you were actually allowed to move or stand only to find that all your skills were on cool down while the Engineer just spammed away with their never-ending chain of skills against you. (I usually just start dancing at that stage since I have nothing left but an auto-attack)

It got a laugh even though it is accurate, but I think your version was funnier.

Thanks.
