Guild Wars 2

Really, I read and re-read the release notes for this last patch and I can’t figure out any of it, not just Ranger but much of it not relating to changes in SouthSun – that’s plain enough, but the rest seems to be more shorthand than explanation.

Any non-snarky explanations and the end results compared to before the patch are greatly appreciated.

Basically you can’t shoot harpoon gun skills backwards i.e. you’re swimming away from an enemy, but still shooting at even though your back is turned to them. Also the projectile speeds for them have been fixed.

Setun.4368:

Out of the Ranger notes that’s all it really says?

Clarity and brevity aren’t Anet’s thing are they?

Well that’s the majority of it anyway. Pets also draw aggro now if they attack players in an enemy supply camp, whirling defense’s radius of reflecting projectiles was increased if you pick the off-hand training trait, and it’s overall attack radius was increased to be like that of other melee skills. Lastly barrage / rapid fire can no longer be uninterruptable or some jazz from having a specific trait line selected.
