Guild Wars 2

The rifle just cannot compete with Longbow, even just shooting dummies LB can take one down in 6-9 shots, Rifles takes 11-14 shots.

I just feel the Rifle needs to be buffed!

Rifle is the direct damage ranged weapon, the longbow is the condition one.
Rifle can do 7k of damage to a heavy armored dummie just with F1 skill, a longbow can’t do something like that.
With a rifle you can oneshot a light armor user in www… that’s all.

Try it! I did back and forth testing while speccing power / crit / conditon using their subsequent talents and the LB won every time in raw DPS.

inb4 blacktruth comment u no know how to warria, you no know how to build dps,
post link, i killed one pro player with itz, i see potential. i know you don’t know cuz i pro warria.

Rifle got nerfed towards the end of last year, so they’re not going to re-buff it.
