Guild Wars 2

So rifle is supposed to get buffed.

But really, let’s talk about the real elephant in the room, which is range.
You want to give rifle more " utility" ? Make it have range 1300~1350 while traited.

Imagine this! Suddenly Crack shot is worth it again! While still lower than traited ranger longbow, it would give traited rifle a very slight range advantage which is something that every warrior could certainly use ( and would probably excite the meta ).

Vote! Discuss!

Do you want 1300~1350 range rifle ?

it actually need to be 1500, even engineer can throw 1200~1500 using his hands, physically non sense.

It should not require a trait if added.

Traits should enhance, not be a requirement to use.

900-960 (granadier trait) max if i recall, trait makes nades travel faster, +60 range and more blast radios.

That’s what they said about piercing as well. Enough with the power creep already.

1200 distance is fine, and a trait to increase it by 100 – 150 is an acceptable idea. Moreso than rifle gaining an extra adrenaline each hit. Crackshot post 01/26/16 patch will be forgotten and everyone is going to run warrior’s sprint.

It should be 1500, at least the killshot range should. But I would not say no to 1500 range for all skills in rifle (ranged ones).

But I doubt anet would do this change.

I wouldn’t pass on it, but its not even on my top 50 list for warrior/berserker.

It should be able to penetrate walls when in beserk mode and no range limiter.
And maybe dont cost adrenaline to shot. Or maybe do x2 damage if adrenaline is there.

I just hope they dont get over carried with Rifle or to BE the meta lol, melee warrior in dire need for support too.

hm then i would suggest 300 more range than engi grenade. If engi throw grnade range is 900, then rifle goes for 1200.

Well engi has 1500 range for his mortar (with several fields) so his grenade range is ok. It would his unique mid-range style by the way.

I always thought rifles (both engi and warrior) should have more range. At least there should be a trait for that. They might even give warrior’s lb 1500 range I do not care. He was supposed to be the master of weapons and combat, but it seems he is the master of bread crust.

Engie is Anet’s spoiled child, do not compare Engi to Warr.

All two handed ranged weapons should have same range. All long bows should have same arrow speed and cast time.
