Guild Wars 2

We all know that Warhorn is hard to match for the speed in WvW.

Im a damage spec longbow ranger, mainly for standoffs and keep defense. While I dont really want to be caught in open field i wanted to try some melee to see if i could finish people off after i opened with longbow.

I could just switch to a shortbow but i wanted to actually try melee. Sword and Dagger was actually alot better than i thought and put out decent damage and made me very evasive. the dagger attack made my target always poisoned and evaded attacks and their heal abilities were much less effective. the throw cripple was very nice as 6sec cripple, (7.8sec traited) would allow me to get distance and use bow again.

another trick i found was fighting in frosttrap (10sec traited chill) + hornet leap for frost armor really shut done the abilitys of melee attackers.

while i didnt win every fight, i actually had alot of fun with the bow + melee play style.
In most fight i was able to get targets to 50% life with bow and finish them off in melee when they got to me. Still had problems with thiefs but i did very well against everyone else i faced and i know i suprised some warriors.

was using spider for ranged fighting and lynx once i went into melee

Glad you’re enjoying it!

I’d probably like it myself if the 1h sword didn’t lock me in place.
