Guild Wars 2

Eagle eye was somewhat merged into Lead the Wind, yet Lead the Wind doesn’t increase your range. Is the 1500 range gone for good? Will other classes lose their 1500 range too?
(Because if not I’m really kittened)

Engineers were the only other class to have 1500 range, with grenades. And that will be removed and reduced to 900 range. It’s possible the default for longbow would remain at 1200. Remember the longbow arrows are projectiles, it’s already ~1400range by default.

Pretty sure the base 1500 and read the wind projectile speed became baseLine.

They briefly mentioned it once chat began spamming for a response. The long range will remain, but they didn’t explain any further how. Many suspect they’ll be making it baseline, much like they’re going to do with the projectile velocity from Read the Wind.

The engineers therefore get the mortar kit as new long range weapon. The default range for the longbow is 1200, however it gets boosted, as does any other range, so that the longbow can hit targets beyond 1500 range.
