So currently, I run condition shortbow/traps build (20.20.15.0.15) and spend a lot of time in parties running around cursed shore doing the major mob events (grenth, plinx, etc) for loot to sell for gold.

Today, Leaf of Kudzu popped out the mystic forge and I’m rather keen to craft the legendary and use it.

I used longbow alot during betas, in conjunction with Greatsword and loved its pure power and the safety of the range it would give me, but i’m struggling to see how I can build my traits/utilitys around doing what I enjoy doing in cursed shore with the longbow.

Is there a way? I’ve read a few of the other threads and they seem to focus on WvW and 1v1s, apart from piercing arrows, and barrage, what else can I do to help hit multiple mobs? Obviously to make use of the longbows range, traps are now out of the question.

All help gratefully recieved!
