Guild Wars 2

For some reason, Ranger seems to be especially bad when it comes to autotargeting and tab targeting. Other classes have issues, but this seems to be just… worse on Ranger.

I am talking about having 2 targets in front of me, and AT fires off at a 90 degrees to try and hit a target that is off screen, and out of range. Or as in the situation i just had – Ettin attacking a Doe. I attack Ettin and because my special school pet attacked the Doe, decided to kill it too. AT attacks a second Doe further away and aggros that, so now I have to kill them both…

The other slight grumble is that with Quick Draw equipped, it suggests that Longbow is now the better weapon than Shortbow even for close range. Even under 500 range, LB #1 does 4 times the damage of SB #1 and LB #2 on an 8s cooldown does tons more damage than SB can hope to do in the same amount of time, plus inflicts vuln.

Only Piercing Shot makes SB even viable compared to LB at short range. I agreed, enormously, with reducing the SB range so the LB could have its true niche, but now I find myself equipping LB all the time.

This is something that a lot of people have been screaming about with shortbow prior to its nerf…. the damage has been done and we are forced to live with it….

SB isn’t a power weapon.
