Guild Wars 2

On the trait line its great that read the wind and piercing arrows are combined but anyone else noticed that there’s no long bow range increase anywhere. Unless we get auto 1500 range we are screwed with 1200.

We got it baseline.
The only thing gone is the +5% modifier from the trait.

I don’t want to lose that 5% modifier Anet please add it to Lead The Wind

5% is hardly noticeable, we got a lot more in exchange for that, imo.

I would much rather have a freed up grandmaster trait slot, than a 5% damage increase.

^Pretty much this, having baseline range increase is going to be HUGE because having the ability to stay out of range of almost any other ranged attacks without wasting a trait spot for a more viable trait means more dps uptime, which gives a lot more than a flat 5% buff.

I’d rather not have the Peiceing combined with LTW though it does give the trait a Powerful boost while being a double edged sword.

though they should consider adding the 5% damage while you have a pet alive or 5% damage while the target is standing still Requirement.

due to the peicing vs Retal+ the velocity base lined will lead to a lot of Return damage just from Autos let along using a individual barrage.

though more concered about the very double edged bit .

Good thing that LtW will not be mandatory then, because the arrow velocity is baseline.
