Guild Wars 2

Just wondering. When we shoot our Longbow, our arrows miss if the other person strafes left and right, so why is this a Grandmaster Trait and not a bug fix? Are our projectiles supposed to miss even while they are in range? Even then, why is it a Grandmaster Trait at all? It literally fixes an exploit but we have to trait it for it to work correctly? If they really wanted to make a trait out of it, why not merge it with Piercing Arrows, leave it in the Master Tier, and make a new Grandmaster Trait? Something like:

Read the Wind:
Attack speed with a longbow is increased by 20%

So, Strider’s Defense is not that bad, but its kind of underwhelming for a Grandmaster Trait. 15% chance to destroy projectiles while executing a melee attack? While I can understand possible use in WvW with let’s say, a greatsword while zerging, for a 1v1, it’s pretty much useless. Any ranged person will (try) not to stay in range of your melee attacks, so you will be swinging at empty air while they dps you down with a useless (in my opinion) trait. So, change its function to something like:

Strider’s Defense: (I got this idea from another post I read a while back)
While wielding bows, move the same speed in every direction as we do when running forwards.

So moving backwards would be the same speed as running forwards, same with strafing left and right. This would allow us to kite a lot easier and more effectively than we used to.
