No …………………….

Although I see where you are coming from, this will not be the new meta and will not hit anywhere near meta

To put it bluntly, outside of the damage of rifle and the fact that kill shot massacres are fun .. it sucks. If you want a ranged option, go with the bow, there is way more utility, youd be better of lobbing a giant fire field into people and blasting it for aoe might than a linear 1shot that can easily be healed through now

Not to mention the build its self is kinda meh

Actually, I would say that the setup is fairly solid. You got condi removal, a get-out-of-jail-free card in Defy pain, and might stacking. Going 6/2/0/0/6 is silly, you’ll hit hard but will basically be a crap LB ranger.

The KS change was good, but I don’t think it’s there yet.

As all metas it takes time to settle.
I’ll pop this post in 2 months – ‘told you so’, and will feel my ago blossom

100 gold this will not be meta in 2 months anywhere, wanna bet?

Whats an ago?

Ego?

I’m gonna say this won’t be the meta. It’s basically a LB Ranger but with shorter range.

There are better damage dealers out there with better sustain, Shatter for example. Shatter could even change 1 minor trait and have the ability to reflect your Kill Shot back in your face.

IMO what Warrior exceeds in is CC and support. I’ve been messing around with different Skullcracker builds, and when paired with a Shatter Mes you have a deadly combo. The Shatter baits out stability and strips in, and the Warrior stuns them for the 100b-Shatter combo. Nothing survives. Mediguard works with it too.

Shoutbow is boring but I get why it’s popular, good support with condi removal, healing, might stacking, AND boons.

Yea, I mean if the Rifle had 1 aoe attack like the pistol for Engineer it could maybe pull away but its single target and the other 4 players will be killing you!
