Longbow is pretty far from OP, its the same as when warrior was practically unplayable.

What I believe would need a fix and NOT a nerf is the healing signet, they should make this skill smarter, and not an automatic healing.

I jumped from warrior to Elementalist and… lemme tell you that drop was big enough to break legs. But the elementalists can fight warriors rather well if they are not using that signet which is unforgivably tolerant to bad players. Theres not a single noob-friendly ability in this game that is this OP, it allows bad players to shred appart amazing players.

The problem is not the radious of the skill. Its the lack of game modes that only alow people to fight on points. I find necros wells way more efective in points.

Longbow has always had the potential to be OP, in the past war did not have the sustain to gain the best from it and also combustive shot was on a 20 secs CD ( for a reason).

The issue is not simple pure damage.

Radius and duration. 90% uptime of a 1k dps covering MORE than a WHOLE POINT by doing NOTHING aside pressing a button is not balanced.

It is not selfish to play how you want. It is only selfish when you want others to play as you want and to use skills that you think, “My idea for it is better.” This is what your saying. “They should nerf [these] skill(s) so it makes them (warrior’s)…”

That skill works when you use it. You can cast other AoE skills and then go to other place and they will only triger when one player gets over them. Those skills also have pulses.

I´m against the kind of AoE that you fire and forget, but there are other AoE in need of more attention than this one. (this one needs atencion also, but dont focuse only on this one just because its a warrior skill.)

so what your saying really is A-net decision to make phase 1 and 2 smaller and phase 3 have more impact with more burning is the problem. You are blaming warrior for a decision 90% of warrior’s didn’t wanna see happen and that the game developers and owners made despite much feedback stating players didn’t think this was a good idea. Maybe take your issue to the source who created it and not the players who didn’t wanna see it happen. You can’t blame the players when the rules got changed in a way that most of them didn’t wanna see happen in the first place.

Id prefer combustive shot having big damage and long burning on impact but afterwards working like ring of fire. That way it could be avoided but pretty strong if setup well and still not useless (forcing dodges, limiting movement, fire field) if just spammed.

My warrior still hits 3-4k damage with some of its skills while using a soldiers amulet, my guardian while built similarly with similar stats doesn’t hit near that much. The damage coeffecients for some warrior skills are just wayy to high when compared to other classes.

LBow 5 does need increased cast time with animation. The burst skill needs looked at (decreased uptime or something that makes you not want to cast it on recharge), its the most abusable fire field in the game.

He’s trolling.Only earthshatter takes advantage of UF anymore and not even in zerker hits that much anymore.Pvp =\= wvw all classes can play tanky and get 50-60% crit in wvw.

Apart from that even if it did es and melee range big casting time skills with obbvious annimations are easy to avoid.But remember we deal with people that take 8k unavoidable damage from comb shot here(it does barely half that btw but nice math)With that you need to sit perfectly still for 18 seconds inside the fire.

Ps i main war since launch but apparently only lvl 2 rerollers have these Op megapowerfull instagih and ultra tanky faceroll builds.Rest of us maining war since ever must be so terrible.Where do we sign for classes..

People are really reaching to get everything on the warrior nerfed

Pretty much this. As soon as one thing gets nerfed its on to the next whine. Eventually warrior is useless and they move to the next most hated target (probably back to thieves or maybe mesmers, or whatever class gets a buff). The sad part of all of this is Arenanet seems to cave to these whines more than anything else for balancing this game.

Soldier hammer/longbow wars can do 3-4k Earthshakers followed by a 3k backbreaker, and then about the same with Combustive shot and arcing arrow.

If you don’t think that’s ridiculous for being tanky as hell, well, you should probably try another class with soldiers amulet and see how much damage you do.

I don’t have a dog in this race (I don’t play warrior and I don’t feel weak vs. warrior longbow) but I feel like I could add some useful advice:

- that aoe covers entire point… if i walk out of it my team loses points

Please don’t believe the forums when they claim that pvp is about standing on points. Get out of the aoe, stay alive, and kill people. That is way more important than standing on a point. Sure, if you’re playing a bunker and it could be useful to your team for you to stay on the point and eat damage for a few seconds, go for it. Your team will lose control of the point for a lot longer after you die than if you had just gotten out of the aoe and won the fight, so…

- you can remove torment from pin down, not pin down itself, the conditions keep repplying… shs that removes conditions is on 45 sec for example, what’s your point?

Pin down applies immob and six stacks of bleeding, and doesn’t reapply anything over time.

You don’t have to lay combustive shot just on the point. It has a small cooldown and with the right traits you can be using the top tier combustive shot very frequently. You can dictate what people do easily with this skill used correctly. Even if you don’t have to fight on the point you have to fight in the general vicinity of the point this isn’t a game where you have rolling fights over an area the size of a football field like in some other games. And anway the size of it and the damage it does doesn’t have to be related to point fighting at all. The radius is too big and the damage is too high even if we were talking about a team death match mode of play with lots of moving and kiting over a large area. I can think of a million uses for it in a team death match type environment. An aoe that large needs to hit very weakly or be smaller. Its pretty simple. It pretty much game balance 101. A-net even knows this because they nerfed the size of the aoe at lower levels of adrenaline. Eventually they will realize that the top level needs to be smaller as well. It WILL happen.

LBow 5 does need increased cast time with animation. The burst skill needs looked at (decreased uptime or something that makes you not want to cast it on recharge), its the most abusable fire field in the game.

Is the only field of warriors.

So do I, as I know how to block/dodge/blind. Outplaying someone on an easy build doesn’t make it any less OP.

Yes it does. It’s an easy to play and play against build. That is why you outplayed them, after all. “Oh look, I spank hammer warriors but they need to be nerfed” kittened.

People are really reaching to get everything on the warrior nerfed

That’s because it deserves to be.

The amount of nerfs you receive has no merit. It’s the results that count and Combustion shot is ridiculous. People have every right to complain about, just like they have every right to complain about Healing Singet or the new Mesmer Heal.

Except when I get on hammer warrior, I can roll right over the same people I beat on engi with less than an eight of the thought.

Maybe because you’re rolling over bads. Try beating a good mesmer or necro with your hammer build who can dodge your obviously telegraphed skills. Hammer isn’t even that good anymore. Bow burst >> hammer burst
