Guild Wars 2

And I’m thinking of using it on my warrior instead of my engi.

Is rifle any good on warriors for anything? I mainly use LB when I pvp, and I haven’t bothered looking into to rifle yet. Does it actually have a use in pve?

I don’t usually range anything if it can be melee’d, for more dps. And the bow seems more useful for pvp in general. I know I could go full sniper-mode in WvW but I don’t know how effective that is, and it doesn’t seem as effective as using a LB for the blast and fire field + CC.

I haven’t found much to make me want to keep it on my war, and I’m hoping there’s a effective play style that i’ve overlooked.

Personally, i’d say the Rifle on a Warrior is the highest Direct damaging weapon from range in-game.

The above post is correct, but they fail to tell you that even with Crack Shot, your AoE is minimal and you really have no way of tagging enemies in mass. The longbow has a lot more utility on a warrior than the rifle. It’s got a nasty 6 second snare, a blind, 2 AoE attacks, one of which is a fire field for might stacking, and multiple sources of burning. You’re better off using it on your engineer, in my opinion.

I use rifle..also in pvp and actually slowly working on predator.

Its depends on ur style. Rifle is not something that u can fight with for the whole time. Its job is either an opener to burn some defensive cd’s, dodges, kiting to take a bit of breath, and as finisher. Main + of this weapon is that volley/killshot track in stealth, loading load of dmg. Use it wisely and its will reward u. Also predator looks lame on engineer bc of scope. Its was aimed for warriors.

(had to delete post bc of some bug with ss.)

Personally, I hate rifle on Warrior and while I don’t play engineer, I have seen some insane high DPS engineers run dungeons with me using rifle. The real issue with rifle on Warrior isn’t that it’s bad, but that it seems to be outclassed by our other weapon options in most situations.
