Guild Wars 2

Just wanted to ask cause i think i missed it? Did they remove Eagle eye in their stream?

All the longbow stuff either got merged into the base weapon (projectile speed, range) or got merged into Lead the Wind, the trait formerly known a Prince Read the Wind, which now provides AutoAttack speed, Piercing Arrows, and CD reduction.

So, rejoice, you now only need 1 trait to get all of the longbow buffs.

More importantly you don’t need a trait for your arrows to land or to shoot the enemy from narnia.

Sure, although the DPS past the initial 5-2 burst is still just as awful, so you’ll still want it everywhere you wanted the traits before – aka anything except open world and dungeon/fractal pve.

They did not confirm whether the damage portion of eagle eye survived. They only said that LB will still be 1500 range. So that’s baseline.

One source on Reddit has it becoming a base line, but it merely states “range increase”, it does not say exactly what the range will be.

On a similar subject, is Piercing Arrows being removed completely, or am I misreading things?

Longbow uses lead the wind for gain piecing and shortbow light on your feet.

Ah. That’s where it went. Thank you
