Guild Wars 2

Can you please make these skills 0.5 delay with no recovery like they are intended instead of 1.11.

Thank you.

Nah we nerfed it instead just cause.

Shortbow 1 no longer tracks…

Need stealth and mobility on P/P or put the kitten SB back the way it was, no one EVER complained about it.

Trick shot change kills the skill. If the target is moving AT ALL the attack doesn’t hit. Skill is useless in pvp now. Either put the heat-seaking back on or making the projectile speed ame as ranger projectile speed.

Had to take out P/P Because it Can’t hit a mobile boss lol.

When I tested it, it was 0.95. The time it says on Trick shot is 0.25. Arena net nerfs Trickshot without even looking at its activation time. Smart.

Yeah, Trick Shot and Vital Shot are both on much longer aftercast delays than they should be. It’s one of the main reasons why SB is only good for trash clearing and P/P isn’t good at all.

Why the felt the need to nerf Trick Shot even though it’s very subpar already is… staggering. It would have been a reasonable ‘fix’ if it didn’t have garbage DPS.

The cast times arn’t wrong guys, the TOOLTIPS are wrong.

Troll-tastic response Scoot-abuser!

Personally as a pve thief, I only use sb for when I absolutely need to get around. Sb damage b4 nerf was already garbage. Still the best thief mobility weapon.

Other than that, it does not see the light of day. When I heard the retribution dungeon had a final boss that was suicide for melee, my first thought literally was, “better shelve the thief, and bring the warrior instead.”

The cast times are right. The tooltips are right too. It’s just that no tooltip mentions the backswing duration after an attack. The arrow from Trick Shot correctly fires at the end of the activation time and if you get interrupted after, during the backswing, you do not get the “Interrupt” effect.

Shortbow is intended as melee weapon. Didnt you know?

to bad it has the speed of a ranged weapon!

This nerf is totally unfounded and just killed thief’s only viable range attack. Is Anet trying to funnel every thief is being a stealth abusing D/P?

Bugged ranged weapons = Me + :M

This. However, this does not mean the skills are well-tuned. In many cases they aren’t. It’s quite lolworthy how slow the aftercast is on Longbows and Pistols compared to Rifles, for example. And you can tell the resulting difference in power between them.

Both Vital Shot and Trick Shot fire too slowly for the damage they deal, there’s really no question about it.
