Guild Wars 2

Longbow is boring and inferior to the Shortbow in almost every situation save for larger scale WvW fights and sieging where you need Barrage.

Give Longbow PBS a short KD component and I’d use it much more often. It also seems to miss FAR too often like almost every other bow skill. Faster projectiles too please, balance damage as needed just make the shots hit.

I’d be happy if the PBS pushback was not stopped by terrain “fall-off” edges. Sailing somebody off a cliff is soooooo compelling.

Agreed. If our 1h sword can knock ourselves off a cliff, our LB should be able to knock others off.

I don’t know. A knockdown would be pretty OP imo. Point blank shot is amazing as is. I use it all the time and it is very useful.

It would be OP if the Knockdown occurred regardless of the range. If they added a range limit on the KD part, it wouldn’t be so bad. I don’t really see the need for a KD with PBS but it could be added without it being OP.

You actually can knock people off cliffs with the longbow knockback. You just can’t do it to NPCs. On players however, they will go right off the edge.

Done it plenty of times in WvW.
