Guild Wars 2

To me, the long bow is not very valuable in the current state. So I have a few crazy ideas that I think might work.

1. Increase the fire rate for the long bow auto attack
2. Have the long bow reach 1500 by default (Currently this requires Eagle Eye)
3. Modify Eagle eye to allow for a range of up to 1800. The downside is that if someone wants the skill, their movement would be reduced by 50%.
4. For all long bow attacks, keep the power the same as today for attacks where the enemy is at a range of 1000 or less. Increase the damage by 15% if the enemy is between 1000-max range.

I agree with 4 only. But they ARE buffing the longbow on Dec. 14th, not sure if you know that or not. According to JP they will be increasing projectile speed.

Anyone got a link to the patch notes for dec 14th?
