eagle eye being merged with piercing arrows and being changed to +10% damage (so 1500 range and +10% damage with longbow and piercing)
… and then being swapped with remorseless for GM tier

I’d be kitten ed…

While I do feel that’s all too much for any single trait, I’d take it… but on the flip side, the only reason anyone goes 30pts in Marks right now is so Signet of Stone works. If this change also coincided with us no longer needing a 30pt trait to make Signets work on the Ranger I’d be happy.

as an LB ranger i go 30 in marksmanship for piercing arrows and eagle eye (because theyre both master tier major traits), and im sure someone ran the math and remorseless is definitely not worthy of GM tier i think it would be a great change for LB rangers… but SB rangers would hate losing piercing arrows

I’m a LB ranger also. I actually forgo eagle eye in favor of piercing arrow and spotter. I use signet for 30. Really wish spotter as a 10pt trait like the power aura is for Warriors.

Same here. If I could have both those traits in 1 slot, I’d be happy. I can’t live without 1500 range or piercing.

Why not a Grandmaster trait like this:
Increase both bow ranges by 300. All Arrows pierce and deal 5% (or 10%) more damage.

I sure would pick it.

Right. Warriors have a power one that’s also an adept option. Not sure why spotter needed to be a Master.

i know http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Empower_Allies , i only mentioned guardians because you didnt and it shows a greater disparity (as it is also adept major)

i dont always agree with similar traits being exactly the same for each class, but MM is very master heavy

I think its a master because we can pick up both crit and crit damage in one line allowing us to not have to spec into power to deal a substantial amount of damage. Move it to adept and kitten starts to get wicked.

Make SB 1200 range and LB 1500 range default. Remove Eagle Eye trait and start making traits that aren’t gimmick garbage.

You mean letting the Ranger have an interesting and unique inherent mechanic on their bow without having to waste a good chunk of their trait points? Now you’re just talking crazy. Next thing you know, you’ll be asking that we not have to go 30 deep in a tree just to make signets worth using.

eagle eye is also +5% damage…

a skill without 30 points on a trait to work? or a prime weapon without 40 points on 2 traits? thats for other professions :p
