Guild Wars 2

I’ve had some mixed success playing all ranged in spvp, and I am enjoying it.
I’m built full zerk and focusing on getting a killshot into someone’s back or side (thief runeset), and following up with some quick damage output (or cripple if they’re quick).

I run Rune of the Thief for the runeset, zerk stats, rifle/bow, both have the quickness sigils (may exchange for some kind of damage output sigil) which are combined with quickness traits I can use for a rapid fire killshot.

My issue is I’m getting alot of strange moments where skills won’t fire off and just go on full cooldown against moving targets and rifle butt just straight failing against thieves…any tips on that?

Also any builds out there for this playstyle? I’d like to see how other warriors do all-ranged.

If you are playing full ranged and having no issues with keeping ur distance to keep damage up then drop the thief rune set and go full scholar, you will get more power and 10% same as thief but only when close to full health again shouldnt be an issue if ur full ranged.

I havent had any issues with skills not firing, maybe lag on ur end but it will go on cooldown if the person you are targeting moves out of ur firing angle just after you get it off. When im running rifle i actually find thieves fun to fight, if you manage to target and start using your burst or killshot on them and they hit stealth, you will still hit them unless they see you lining them up still and dodge.

As for a build, if u enjoy rifle and bow then go for it…but i have come up against alot of rifle and sword/shield warriors going full power sitting behind thier team picking ppl off with rifle burst and killshot leaping away and hitting block and endure pain if you manage to break through thier team and get to them, quite annoying really.
