Guild Wars 2

Shortbow is completely broken.

“Light on your feet” from skirmishing specialisation doesn’t add “pierce” to arrows as described in the trait.
If I choose “Lead the wind” in markmanship specialisation, arrows from the short bow are said to pierce => but they don’t.

In the end, Shortbow is useless against grouped ennemies and you can forget about it in WvW.
This bug appeared with the new build system, as my shortbow used to pierce grouped ennemies before this update.

Just tested it on the golems in pvp, light on your feet does make it pierce, dunno where you are getting your information from.

Okay just retested it.
A while back i had the problem of arrows not piercing.
There is still a small bug, but the shortbow isn’t as broken as I thought:

“Light on your feet” does cause shortbow to pierce, but nothing appears in the attack description. “Lead the wind” however doesn’t cause shortbow to pierce, but the “pierce” appears in the attacks description.

Ty Tom for your help.
