Its not supposed to be a damage weapon, quit crying, the nerf was barely noticeable, its all in your head. SB was meant to be a skirmishing condi wep with alot of control, as it is, its literally the only viable weapon for any type of damage ranger. That isnt how they want it to be.
Dante doesn’t play rangers obviously….it is noticeable, and most of the forums agrees with me.
There is no other viable damage wep…if this isn’t how they wanted it to be, then don’t nerf SB, buff the others, because as it is all the others besides the LB are terrible.
I agree with OP. The nerf is actually very noticeable. Especially with SB being pretty much the only viable weapon to use for damage. Like others have said, we didn’t notice the animation glitch, and tbh I wouldn’t care if I did. The decrease is significant.

The solution to only having one viable weapon is to reduce it’s performance so that it performs poorly like the rest of them?

Kid, ranger was my main for a long time. Sorry but no1 will agree except pvers, longbow sucks atm, its not just that, any other weapon with a power/crit build for rangers suck atm unless you use signet build which gives great damage for 120 seconds, atleast for GS, longbow still sucks even then. When I use signet of the wild and RaO with the GS I average 3k crits almost every attack and 4-5k swoops. The damage is fast enough that without QZ im not kittening myself unlike with longbow I need QZ.
I stopped playing my ranger and started playing guardian/thief/rifle warrior and I can tell you now they are far superior in every way. There is a reason you only see shortbow rangers.
the damage nerf is very noticeable, and the SB is actually a horrible condi weapon because it requires flanking, which is next to impossible against a good opponent.
rangers have joined the ele and necro as the kittens of GW2.
Dante….looks like people are agreeing with me, contrary to what your opinion is. SB didn’t need this….what was it……“unintended” nerf? I want an ANet response saying what they’re going to do about this. Give us SB back, or give us better weapons.
JP will be monitoring the numbers and re-evaluating the weapon in the future, which will take weeks and months. sort of a “nerf first, ask questions later” approach, which singlehandedly destroyed WoW’s pvp. it’s Blizzard all over again.
the proper way to do it is to implement appropriate buffs to balance out the nerf. because SB specs were in no way OP. you dont just start nerfing viable, balanced spec because you dont want people spamming 1,1,1.
im very disappointed in the way this was handled. mostly because i thought ANet would know what theyre doing with the pvp aspect of the game (main reason i bought it)
