Guild Wars 2

Many people are complaining about rangers who use the point-blank-shot too often. Maybe the skill is just in rotation, maybe the people don’t understand the interrupting or the reposition of the enemy.

I often use this skill to interrupt the enemy. So people are flaming, cause I interrupt a teragriff (without interrupt, he will change his position too + damage and player knockback)

Here my suggestion for changes to this skill:

1. Suggestion:

• It becomes a channeled-skill.
• you need to channel at least 1 sec to knock back with this skill.
• If you channel shorter than 1 sec, it becomes just an interrupt.

With this change you can use this skill in rotation without trolling people. You can use it as an interrupt or as a knockback. The knockback mechanic is easier to counter (at least 1 sec casttime) but you can hold it longer and release after dodge.
Maybe we can improve the knockback-mechanic of the skill with a “unblockable” or a harder knockback.

2. Suggestion:

• It will only knockback within a range of 300
• A higher range will interrupt the enemy instead.

With this changes we can also use this skill in rotation or for interrupting, if we keep the right distance. It is harder to anticipate the function of the skill, while you’re fighting within a range of 300. The skill is not as easy to counter as the first suggestion.

Or just make it a knockdown… That’d be awesome.

Or just leave it as is and stop making PvE so easy that a brain dead monkey can play it successfully… That’d be awesome.

Open World PVE is for casuals, man. You didn’t get the memo?

I do not see any reason to change it simple as that it would be big changes for LB Power rangers.

Wow this subject again, people are running out of ideas to complain about on ranger back full circle

While we’re at it let’s make our arrow blunt tipped so they don’t hurt poor mobs and pvp opponents too hard. I mean bows aren’t meant to kill stuff, right?

Even better, give the ranger literally nerf-guns instead of bows.

I forget, that we can’t civilized discuss in ranger forum. Sorry to steal your valuable time. For lack of meaningful answers, we can close the thread ;(

I apologize in advance, if it sounds rude, but to get meaningful replies to a thread, one has to make a meaningful opening post first.

You can’t honestly expect to be taken seriously, if you want to change a skill because that skill can be used to “troll people”.

There are many skills, which can be used to troll and are wasted if used for that purpose, so it’s a non-issue.

The ranger’s 1H-Sword can be one big troll weapon, now put the Axe#4 and Lightning Reflexes into the mix and enjoy your bath in the enemy’s rage.

Since the discussion in this thread has derailed and is no longer constructive this thread is now closed.
