Guild Wars 2

Longbow’s Long Range Shot now has a 12sec cooldown.

Let’s be brutally honest: ANet doesn’t know how to fix certain bugs or issues. Instead, they’ll make the ability in question moot . . . or ignore it.

It’s not that they don’t know how, it’s that they don’t care and just choose the easiest path of least resistance.

I wouldn’t doubt for a second that they simply copy/pasted the code for Lingering Light’s 12s cool down because it was super simple and would make the problem disappear.* Whether or not it left the trait in a usable state is frankly irrelevant to them.

*May not be true but would explain the otherwise arbitrary time value and unnecessary, massive nerf to the only pet that was ever used with it.

So Revenant is fine with all the OP tools and got a buff in hammer, while ranger is not fine with those borderline functional build? The double standard is real.

Irene is the only dev that actually hates the class he is in charge of. The dev that is in charge of Rev and DH clearly loves their classes very much and never touches it despite numerous evidence of it’s opness.

Fed up of this, time to change profession.

This!

Sounds about right.
