Guild Wars 2

Is it only me or the Longbow skill #3 and #4 goes FULL cooldown when you move and your opponent is on the side or behind you?

IMO if it is the case for everyone it needs a fix asap. Because its the only weapon with that horrible bug. (furthermore gw2 is almost 2 year and ranger weapon still full of bugg)

i’m not sure if it’s a bug or if you just cast it that direction and completely miss.

regardless I would like to see some longbow skills (#3 especially) hitting more reliably, especially close up

LB#3 should always stealth and if it hits then it should do something in addition to stealth. Like a 2 second immobilize or a 5 stack of vuln, or something.

Yep, I hate this bug too, but even #2 does it. It just breaks if they get side/behind you and you don’t manually turn – it wouldn’t be a problem if – for example – thief and mesmer skills weren’t total automatic target.

I would prefer to nerf them instead of boost us in this “bug”.

There is 1 issue with that. Always stealth means it would have to be on activation. 3→get stealth→hit→get revealed. The skill would have to do literally 0 damage then.

For #2 you can stand still and the arrows will follow your enemy. Same for #3 and #4 but they are more prompt to be used in those pressure moment so it goes often on cd for nothing.

Btw the animation just doesnt even cast. It simply goes on cooldown. I just dont remember any other class weapon that does this.

I will stay under AC fire, Thief stabs, 100b & mesmer clones from now on…
