Guild Wars 2

The big complaint for Longbow players that trait heavily into marksmanship and skirmishing is that their 1500 range longbow shots are easily avoided by walking sideways .
Perhaps a simple solution would be done this way :

1)Make eagle eye a grandmaster trait and signet of the beastmaster a master trait , simply swap their place in the trait line

2)Make eagle eye improve projectile speed by a XX %

3)Reduce longbow 1 cooldown by 25% , reduce barrage cooldown from 30 seconds to 25

I think these changes would make all the rangers who want to play GC snipers happy and add 1 more build to the profession

This makes too much sense.

No, I like putting 20 in markasmanship for eagle eye. You’re breaking durzilla’s recent longbow/condition damage build, ya know.

I like the idea of Eagle Eye being expanded to increasing the projectile speed of Longbow. As for it’s position in the trait tree, I quite like it where it is in Marksmanship. (Since I run a 20/25/10/0/15 build )

Longbow #1 is a whole issue in and of itself, though I don’t think you have to worry about the cooldown. It doesn’t have one.
