Guild Wars 2

It’s nice to see SotH getting bumped to 25%. Thanks for that Jon.

Well, here’s another quick fix suggestion that’s in the same vein which helps to bump the ranger back on equal footing with other classes.

Combine Piercing Arrow and Quick Draw into one trait so it’s the same as Crackshot on the Warrior. This is no different than SotH. If you guys are happy with Crackshot the way it is which gives piercing and 20% faster cool down in one trait, then logic dictates that an equivalent trait on the ranger won’t be unbalanced.

Any chance of this happening?

Generally people don’t switch from Rifle to Harpoon gun, whereas you could switch from Longbow to Shortbow – no problems, for great benefit.

Not sure I understand your concern.

You can currently use dual bows with those traits already. So are you suggesting a dual bow setup is overpowered?

Ya piercing arrows and quick draw are traits that can only be used with a bow. Makes sense to stop short changing rangers and put them together.

I think they are fine as separate traits; there are many other traits that need moving around and fixing though (in my opinion it’s the warriors trait that needs to split instead).

…and that SotH change wil be nice considering pretty much every other class has a way to get up to a constant 25% speed increase (warriors I think increase when they use a melee weapon or something, Elementalists have their air attunement trait, thieves… etc.) So, Signet of the Hunt is a definite change that needs to be made and is more than welcome news to hear they plan to do so.
