Guild Wars 2

Does anyone else think that the Burning Arrows Trait is strangly placed in the Tactics specialisation line?

The Tactics specialisation is full of support related traits however the long bow is not a support weapon.
Long bow is a hibrid weapon being quite good at both condition damage and power damage.
I really think Burning Arrows belongs in the Arms specialization with the other hibrid traits. If not in arms maybe the Berserk specialization line with the other burning traits.

The one with berzerker trait line does not work because everyvody gots bow but not everyone has berzerker/HoT.
Each traitline has more or less one wepontrait and arms already has sword.
You can actually make very strobg condi builds with tactics and bow.

That’s true not everyone has HoT. what traits from Tactics would you take in a condition build?

Burning arrows should be moved to Arms major tier and two of the Fury based traits should be merged to make room. The missing tactics trait could be made up by some support option relating to warhorn, shouts or banners.

I agree with this having the banner buff trait back would be nice.

Blood magic for necromancers has both dagger and warhorn traits, the warhorn trait being very out of place. It is bad design on Anets part. The same goes for Leeching Venoms in shadow arts instead of deadly arts for thief.

Agreed with the banner thing. Imo the banner trait from discipline spec should be switched with burning arrows. both traits seem to make much more sence in each others spot since traited banners are even better support and discipline can also be used for condi builds. arms, discipline and bersi would make an awesome build for burn/bleed condi bersi after this change.

I’ve always said burning arrows was out of place which is unfortunate because it’s actually a good trait that just can’t be use much
