Guild Wars 2

I was looking at wiki (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Command_%28bow%29) and the bow seems that was nerfed. Before was ~4k heal (didn’t scaled with healing), now is ~2.5k heal and ~5.5k with 1500 healing power.

Now is only worth if you have a lot of healing power. Anyone tested it yet?

200% scaling with Healing Power and on a 20 sec CD now. Holy kitten.

Always were 20 sec cooldown. And you can only activate once, twice only with duriton ttrait. Overal, it dies before u can activate again, if not during the 1st activation.

I’ve had pretty good success with getting 2 activations off in the time allowed (traited). I very rarely lose it before it comes off off 1st cool down.
That being said, I certainly don’t rely on it as my major group/aoe heal. It’s nice to have when it’s up though.

Took it for a stroll today, it never died on me. The heal, as expected, was fantastic.

You’ve got it all wrong, silly. Bow of Truth is actually decent now.

Never dies on me either.

The bow is very good now, it went from the worst spirit weapon to one of the best imo. Scaling with hp was a great design decision, plus now with a 1200 cast range.

If only it was a bit better at condi removal.

In my spirit weapon build, it always comes down to picking between this and the shield. I guess I could always take away the sword, but that’s a lot of damage potential gone.

Hammer will always be the best spirit weapon though, but maybe bow can be second best.

On WvW it dies very easily. And don’t need a zerg for that.

The new spirit weapons have been a great addition for pugs in PvE imo. The bow is a great way to quickly heal a group taking heavy damage. The multiple uses make the bow a great substitute for a consecration slot when a consecration isn’t absolutely needed in a situation.

My opinions on the matter.

So you whole argument boiled down to “it dies in wvw”.

Well duh. Also every utility apart from syg, htl, pf and the 3 meds are useless.

WoR is still very useful in WvW, but that’s not this topic.

I shall need to think very hard about incorporating spirit weapons on one of my guards
