Guild Wars 2

I’m a high fan of crossbows, even before gw2 came out i wanted them to add crossbows because my first mmo had them and they were awesome. What roll would they play? well they would have the same range as LB, it will pierce targets by default ,no traits, the crossbow will not be a very mobile weapon, it will have skills that root you and damage that can burst the target in seconds (wishful thinking) it would be a very high burst single target weapon

The skills would look like this..

1# Piercing Bolt basic auto attack that pierce targets and cripples for 1 sec.
2# Triple Shot Root the target and fires three bolt with 50% damage boost ( can’t move while firing this skill.)
3# Free Up Cures stuns and Immoblize and add protection for 1 sec and retaliation for 5 sec for you and your pet.
4# Quick ShotsThe player is root on spot (attack speed is increase 100% and damage is increase by 100% for 5 seconds) cannot be stack with QZ.
5# Poison Bolts fires two poison bolts and stun the foe for 1 sec, damage is dealt according to to opponent’s health more damage is (like hearthseeker).

Yea i know this will never happened because the skill will do a lot damage but i can only dream of what we should become, a damage dealing class with the pet as a side perk not our other half.

1. Whistling Shot (3/4 s activation) basic attack that grants your pet Quickness (2s).
2. Hydra Shot (1/2 s activation, ground targetting) Fires a shots that burns enemies in a small area and causes your pet’s next attack to also burn enemies in a small area.
   Burn Duration: 2 s

3. Dragon’s Roar (1/2 activation, ground targetted) Shoots a bolt at the area that explodes 2 seconds later, interrupting and dealing massive damage to enemies, setting the ground on fire for 5 seconds, burning enemies in it every second.

4. Needle Shot (1/4 activation) Fires a piercing shot that roots targets you hit from the back, cripples all targets, and causes your pet to roar and apply vulnerability to nearby targets.
   Roar Radius: 200
   Vulnerability Duration: 6 s
   Cripple Duration: 4 s

5. Great Shot (1 s activation) fires a powerful bolt that launches your target, and knocks aside all targets in its path, while knocking you back from the recoil.

   Knockback Distance: 150

I’d make the xbow a rapid fire type weapon that has a small clip of 5 shots that fire off about as fast as the short bow, but have a 1.5 second reload time between cartridges.

1 Auto attack would have a stacking crit buff on you so the last shot had a built in 50% chance to crit.

2 would be to empty the whole cartridge in 1 second and rapid reload.

3 would be to reload with crippling rounds that snared for a stacking 20% each shot for 4 seconds up to a 4 second root if you hit with all 5.

4 would be to reload the weapon with explosive rounds.

5 would be a larger clip that could hold 10 arrows and when pushed again would allow you to fire them in a volley that shoots 10 waves of arrows for half damage. You could load your #3 and #4 if you wanted to.

Range as axe and slow attack speed
1.A chain skill.First dmg,second dmg,third chain dmg + criple
2.Throws an arrow attached to a string,Press again 2 to pull back your foe
3.Throw 3 arrows in cone infront of you doing dmg and healing your pet
4.Shoot an arrow in the neck dazing foe for a 0,5 sec and doing dmg
