Guild Wars 2

Though I feel that my combo has been struck by the dps:
Hunter shot – 10 vuln for 10 seconds + rapid shot + barrage
I think it is definitely a fair trade.

Since I am busy at the moment (work =b), can someone do me a favor and use piercing shot, use hunting shot on a line of 3 targets, and see if we get 9 seconds of stealth? Would appreciate it. =)

Thanks for clearing that up, Roy, I was just gearing up ready for the update to try it out!

So glad you guys have finally shown the Ranger a bit of love

Hunter’s Shot will only apply 3 seconds of stealth to the ranger, even with the piecing trait.

wai?`Q_Q

It would be extremely OP if it was possible though. Good choice. Bryzy, if you can, please try piercing shot with rapid shot and see vulnerable stacks with all units. I want to do AOE Vulnerable to my enemies in pvp. I would appreciate it. =)

A question in another thread asked “Will piercing Hunter’s Shot cause the ranger to de-stealth if Hunter’s Shot hits more than one target?”

If it does, that would be bad.

when will the patch go live?

haven’t tried that yet since patch isn’t live yet, but If you have the Sharpened Edges and Piercing Arrows traits active, you can apply all sorts of bleeding in a large group of enemies with your bow attacks. You can also apply any of the other effects as well with Piercing arrows, such as the knockback with Point Blank Shot and the Stun with Concussion Shot. Vulnerability should work that way too (…I hope…)

knockback with piercing is fun when you are behind a door and a zerg rushes in…. whole zerg are sent flying. especially fun at garri inner (above water gate)

That’s what I use it for!

That was how hunters used to work, so I don’t see why it wouldn’t with rapid

It doesn’t reveal you if you hit multiple targets, but it also doesn’t stack stealth, which is utter garbage considering that’s pretty much THE POINT of piercing.

Please fix.
