From what i tested it takes about 1.1 to 1.2 sec for long range shot( Ranger Longbow #1 skill) to activate instead of 0.75 sec like the tooltip says.

Edit: to be sure i tried with 200 arrows and it took 249 sec to fire them all so it’s about 1.25 sec cast time instead of .75 sec like it should be…

Anyone else can confirm this?

Yes, awareness for the issue with wonky recast times on #1 skills seems to be growing. Long Range Shot firing much slower than it should is one of the main culprits behind the Longbow feeling weak.

However, it is not isolated to Long Range Shot. The same problem seems to be common for several ranged weapons across several professions. In particular, it also affects Longbows for Warriors, Staffs and Scepters, and Pistols for Engineers and Thieves, as well as the Thief’s Shortbow.

It notably does NOT include Rifles, and Shortbows for Rangers, Greatswords for Mesmers. All of these have recast speeds that are very close to their activation speeds, and consequently perform a lot better than other ranged weapons.

I don’t know what’s the deal here, because it’s obviously not working right and hasn’t been since launch.
