Guild Wars 2

The damage may be dismal but I’m sick of people telling not to use the weapon..

This weapon has one main use in my eyes

decapping a node

So there is that guardian on the node that takes an age to kill…

I walk up to him, hit point blank shot then root him out of the node while I cap it..

If i mis / he breaks root before i cap then its only 15s till i can push him off again and atleast decap

lets not forget that nice 10% vulnerability debuff

So please stop imposing your lack of insight into me using this weapon..

Is that worth “losing” a weapon though? I mean, if you’re truly only using it to re-cap a point, is it worth it for that small window? I’d say you’re better off using something you’ll actually use and leave it to an Ele or another Guard(or a Necro etc) to flip the point.

I can swap weapons too…

I use it as a weapon but only point blank, shot 10% vulnerability and barrage… so it’s not a completely wasted weapon..

why wait for others when I can do it myself..

1) 10% more damage from number 3
2) Quickness #5 for group battles/popping thieves
3) Knockback
4) Quickness #2

LB is a great wep especially when coupled with the SB. I demolish people with this bow so often it’s not even funny, don’t know why people hate it so much. Bad auto attack…pretty much the only bad thing about this wep.

in my experience usually he will have aegis, so u should use auto-atk first. Also it’s a very long cast and obvious animation and guards have plenty of projectile-blocking abilities as well as stability so it’s hardly foolproof , but if u make it work good luck to ya.

ye I make sure I’ve hit them first to remove aegis.. it can be hard to pull of the first shot but I usually wait until the fight is a bit more chaotic so he cant easily see me about to cast. If I do mess it up it’s only 15s CD till i can try again.

have been using this for weeks now it’s been working well

what if the guard has condition removal and/or teleport (JI/blinding blade)? you dont have to wait/destroy entangle to get out of it…

Then if it fails I can still decap after 3-4 full knock backs and if they have to get up and run back. The cooldown is only 15secs so I can push them off quite often.

I’ve yet to encounter a single bunker guardian tat has a teleport tbh…

I prefer to just go with a drop a frost trap so he gets nice an chilled, knock him off the point and then barrage over him so he has to limp back.

I know my friends support ranger build used 2 spiders so the bunker can’t get back before he’s capped the point due to slow, stuns, and immobs.
