Guild Wars 2

My very first character in gw2 was a warrior. Later on though I decided to delete him and make a guardian instead.
Recantly though I decided to go back to warrior again. What I noticed is that longbow without traits has range 900. I could swear back in time it was 1200.
Am I wrong?

Nope. It has always been 900 except for the burst skill Combustive Shot. That one is 1200.
The trait for longbow has been put in the 10 traits section…which was 20 before that(that is what was changed if you’re still wondering).

Well, thats kind of lame if you ask me that warrior’s longbow has the same range as thief’s shortbow.
I’ve created suggestion thread to increase longbow range, if you like the idea, give it some love:

This is a really good idea. Some Warrior traits need to be baseline. Spending points for them is usually a big handicap.

I think the range-increasing traits are crap. Longbow should just be 1200 baseline.

Tell that to the engineer, who has 1 trait for skill recharge only, 1 for damage increase only, and 1 for range only, all in the same tree so you’ve got to grandmaster and spend ALL your major traits for an upgraded rifle.

And that upgraded rifle range isn’t 1200, either.
