Guild Wars 2

poison volley is 5 arrows

but spread shot is 7 arrows

Can i watch this skill in the games?

Let’s see:

1. No trait for boosting these… maybe autoboosting on range boost?
2. In the Promo Videos: 1-2 shot mobs. Can we do it? Nah…
3. In the Promo Videos: Pets can kill easy. Can they do it? Not likely.
4. In the Promo Videos: Horn skill #4 birds can STOP & Kill an ogre. Reality? LMAO.
5. In the Promo Videos: You can make your own combos (fire arrows). Ingame? Never saw it!
6. In the Promo Videos: Serpent Strike is 1hitKill. LOLOLOLOLOL.
7. In the Promo Videos: Whirling Defense makes grawls to kill themselves. Ooooh

Your question is a good one, but know; “Promo videos are always boosted”

No you can’t see it anymore. That is a ground targeted spread shot skill for SB that was used in the early betas, it was later replaced with poison volley which is what you currently see in the game. If I remember correctly at least.

1 – Agreed.
2 – Sure we can, on lvl 80 full exotics/ascended I can one shot level 2-5 mobs, like in the promo video!
3 – My pet can’t, unless I’d retrait, then it could.
4 – Our birds can stop and kill an ogre with last 2-3k health left! Like in promo video!
5 – Try throwing a fire trap, and shoot arrows through it when it’s active. Fire arrows! You know, combos come from actually comboing things.
6 – same as 2 basically.
7 – I once tossed a harpy with her own knockdown (in fractals) using Whirling Strike, killing grawl is nothing

And remember, promo video is promo video, but you can simulate the results if you wanna. But why?

Also, I remember SB #4 used to have a skyrim refference on it. Good times!

You’re mostly right, there ARE fire arrows, you can’t get it through Spreadshot or Volley or w/e the kitten SB #2 is called now anymore but you can for pretty much any other arrow attack we have.

SB#2, when this video was made, AKA alpha, used to shoot a lot more arrows than now that just did damage, and had a LOW CD, but each arrow was a 100% projectile finisher (like all projectiles were in alpha), so if you were to say, shotgun those arrows into one person in an ethereal field, they’d get like +7 stacks of confusion, every time.

In the Hunter’s Call video it was done back when our Sword second auto (this made it through to beta 1) was a 50unit knock back instead of a cripple, but didn’t leap at all. As anyone with half a brain could realize, that was OP as kitten and there was never a moment you were interrupting people making MoC ridiculously OP (this was back when traits were a bag grab and there were no tiers, oh silly beta).

Also Hunter’s Call was a 1s Stun in Alpha (so sayeth my friend who played at a PAX, so i’m assuming he’s right, he could’ve totally lied though just to try and get me psyched.).

In other words, yes the skills damage and/or enemies health were altered to make the videos shorter and more showy offy of the skills. But most of the skills in the video actually were altered…. Like Moas and Bears used to have offensive skills in their skill pool back when it was “Choose your pets 4 skills!” instead of “All pets of X family have these skills and Y species have this F2.”

The 7-shot spread was given to elementalist ice bow.

Fire arrows were given to warriors.

The fire arrows were from the combo field.

That video was published when Anet revealed ranger as a class in the game, it showed the bonfire skill and the combo with the poison valley.
Needless to say that much have changed since then.

Hehe, answers.
But really, check the offical “Ranger Skills” video.
Those are one skill push killers. Okay, it was Alpha.
So they’re meaningless now.

I may make a counter-video on it to show the reality… running like a chicken, lol

I think the best part was for the first year and 4 months we didn’t have any of our videos on the page (probably due to how drastically most our skills had changes since then).
