Guild Wars 2

Rifle still lacks some piercing since they removed it from the trait

1. Aimed Shot
   >Good: the vuln stacks because the sync with AA.
   >Bad: Traited or not this skill does not pierce.
   Why not add piercing on this skill? its a low dmg/cripple skill, where cripple is already pretty bad in this game. i often waste time using this skill to not cripple my target because pets etc

1. Brutal Shot
   > Good: Immob/ 8x vuln / evade
   > Bad: Slow casttime for evade skill, and again no piercing.
   Maby i ask too much to add piercing on both Aimed Shot and Brutal Shot so maby 1 would be enough. But atleast make it faster because the casttime is way too slow when you really want to evade something.

I dont understand why brutal shot combined with warriors spring dosent break immobilization…isnt it a movementskill?

“movement skills,” i.e. they force the character to change position as part of the skill’s action.

Psssst… it breaks immob without the trait.
And it did with trait also.. if it doesnt anymore than its a bug.

More piercing would be nice…..could always use more piercing. Rifle is a weird weapon tbh. Its decent-good if you go full glass, but otherwise the damage is horrid since the base stats are so bad. I think adding more utility to make up for the lack of base stats is a good way to keep it from becoming overpowered (ignoring how op damage reduction stats are atm).

95% sure it doesn’t break without the trait, if it did it was a bug (lucky you). I don’t use warriors spring in my gunflame build so I’d think I’d notice if I could break immobilize somehow outside of resistance.

99% sure it doesn’t break now, i remember using it when immobilized a bunch of time (not tree roots) and it just did my spin on the spot rather than throwing me backwards.
