Guild Wars 2

Ideas for a rifle overhaul. Rifle converted into a mid-range CQC pressure weapon. Sniper rifle moved to thief in a future specialization. Longbow ranges converted to 1200 by default.

SKILLS:

1.) Fierce Shot: Fire a spread of 3 bullets in front of you. 900m range
2.) Mage Hunter Shot: Fire a bullet that dazes the target if they are using a skill. Moves 2x as fast. 900m range
3.) Furious Shot: Fire a shot, grants fury if it hits. 900m range
4.) Evasive Shot: Roll in the direction you are moving and fire a shot at the enemy. .5 sec evade. 900m range
5.) Rope Shot: Fire a harpoon that pulls the target to you. 900M range.

Burst: Spreadfire -Fires a spray of 5 bullets in front of you 3 times. 900 range (miss fortune ultimate from DoTA).

Crackshot Trait: unchanged.

Why? Warrior was never meant to be a sniper, the skills don’t synergize. Rifle changed to better support melee power builds, with Longbow being the long range area control weapon. New rifle gives the warriors more options to control the enemy and deal pressure from mid-range when they are forced on the defensive and can’t go into melee.

Nothing says CQC like a rifle.

Also, what the hell are you talking about? Warriors have a long range sniping focused weapon, but aren’t meant to be snipers? Miss Fortune from DoTA?

5 sec evade?

Ok, I’m down for these changes if for no other reason than to see the absolute hilarity that would occur as a result of that.

Think of the salt mountains… glorious.

Also, I’m still convinced thieves will be getting either mace or axe. If they gave them rifle then they might as well delete their p/p set from the game.

Well now I’m not behind these changes at all.

For future reference, you might consider writing it as “0.5”.
