Guild Wars 2

I don’t know to what this will lead to (buff, nerf, change, nothing) but here goes.

I like tinkering my rifle warrior. Specifically tinkering it to see if I REALLY need crackshot (since in a highly mobile fight, lining up targets is pretty hard).

So I read the trait again. Rifle and Harpoon gun shots pierce. Reduces recharge on rifle and harpoon gun skills.

So with the exception of rifle butt and AA, all rifle skills pierce AND get a recharge reduction. Now, killshot gets only the piercing effect.
- on the one hand it received the piercing shots so anet acknowledges that it is a “rifle or harpoon gun skill”
- on the other hand it didn’t receive the reduction recharge so anet acknowledges that it is NOT a “rifle or harpoon gun skill”

If all burst skills got the recharge reduction, not only would it be way too strong (up to 50% time reduction would be way too strong), it’d screw over sword users even more.
