Guild Wars 2

Is it me or its the same ? It feels slower somehow.

Time it. I was able to fire ~58 shots in 30s before. I can’t test now, but will do later.

Worrisome…Will test for sure when I get back later tonight.

it wouldn’t surprise me if we got more nerfed. Is like they don’t want anyone to play ranger lol. Sadly all my gear and good stuff is with my ranger, rerolling after months and month of earning all that, wow

No, shortbow attack speed is the same as it was before today’s patch.
Still 1 attack every 0.52 seconds.

Test data here.

Everything feels slow and crummy with no more quickness

That is it I’m convinced after 6 hours playing tonight something is off (strange sluggishness compared to pre-patch) on shortbow auto attack 1. I really hope I’m wrong.

It may just be paranoia glock. I noticed no change in the SB when I was killing things earlier today.

We can’t really see much difference between a 0.52s or 0.75s attack speed, but we feel it somehow. All of these statistics stacks on a day, so meanwhile a Warrior can do a fun-run in 2 hours somewhere, we Rangers need 3-4 hours to do the exact same things.

Yes, its stacking, and breaking the game design. Not paying enough attention (or any at all here) on Balance is a “Blocking Progress” for us.

but did you look at what we gained with the hidden nerf every attack is a bleed effect now

i have not seen it yet, so you are stating that no more positional requirements?

no, u still need to flank to get the bleed from SB 1# skill

You are correct. The time between each shot has been increased slightly, but the traveling speed of the arrows I believe have been increased to compensate. I have no hard data or proof. This is coming from someone who shoots 10,000 – 20,000 arrows every night.

I do. (See my post above.) Shortbow attack speed has not changed.
