Guild Wars 2

I have a thief and I have to say that defending a keep/tower from the walls is very fun with cluster bomb.

Then I log on my warrior, and realize how stupid Arcing Arrow and Combustive Shot are for this same purpose. I know, its a very situational issue but I feel it could easily be fixed and would get more Longbow warriors out and about.

I literally have to stand on the absolute edge of a wall or cliff to get my arrow to hit the targeted area below me. Usually resulting in lots of dots and even a pull if stability isn’t up. If I don’t stand on the edge, then it all just blows up in my face, literally.

Thoughts?

They did something with it a few months ago
Longbow had better range back then.
Also it’s the curve where the arrow flies has been changed so it results in at least +50% obstructed at WvW ._.

I hope they do something about it.

Agree it is annoying. Especially with what we faced yesterday defending a tower vs an Ele. We had ACs in the middle, well out of range of AoEs. The Ele would stand far away, target the player manning the AC, then come in close to the base of the wall. Then proceeded to spam Dragon Tooth over and over with zero los.

Defending should be easier to do damage than attacking. ..which isn’t the case in GW2

I agree. its infuriating to be shooting at someone I def should have los but don’t. I still love my longbow in wvw…its better then Ranger longbow anyway. ;3

Lorelei mage from rift or just same name

longbow is great for badge farming, and if you spec right you can get a lot of F1’s off.
