Guild Wars 2

well back in the day before I took a lil break from the game.. I distinctly remember A dev mentioning longbow would get some love, to have some more viability well did that happen under the radar or not at all..

I come back to crazy condi necro’s running around ele’s with higher burst even tho it was uneeded but alas im all for changes and each having their day..

but why you excite me telling me the main wep I used for decapping nodes was getting viability love and months later all these other classes have new toys/altered damage on skills and completely leave of the love for Longbow.. I died a lil inside

how about a lil bit of burning damage on the longbow… like how u put bleeds on gs way back when.. would be nice

The bleeds on GS are useless for power build and are not enough to make it condi weapon. I’d rather have them really buff LB, not add another useless kitten :p

you’re completely right,
the main point i want to raise is the longbow needs more viability at close range.. because lets face it.. you do not have long to stay at max range in any part of the game,

punishing the ranger at different ranges for damage so extremely feels completely unfair as other weapons without that built in nerf have a far easier time as they dont have to do less damage just because the enemy walked a lil closer to an arrow that im aiming at his face..

Can I have the OP mess that is pin down please? Either that, or give me a way to not be stuck in chains every single time.

No they aren’t. The 3 bleed stack from Maul does 127 DPS with no might or condition damage. If you have 20 points in Wilderness Survival for Martial Mastery and a 10 stack of might those 3 bleeds will combine for 210 DPS. That’s more than 5% of your non-pet DPS even in full berserker gear, so it’s not totally negligible.
