Guild Wars 2

Rangers longbow has a trait that allows it to hit “up to 1500 range” but currently can hit at 2,100 range. please fix this as their auto attacks damage increases the further from their target they are.

Not a bug. Arrows arc. Differences in elevation matter. It’s not just Rangers that benefit.

And the skill is tiered. 0-500, 500-1000, 1000+. Range over 1000 doesn’t add any additional damage.

Once outside max range the damage is zero so there is an addition the same as what it will be at 1000+ and I don’t care if my arrow is arcing or dropping like a lead balloon.+

I main a ranger and have noticed this as well so maybe its worth a check out all the same.

Not sure what this means? “There is an addition the same as what it will be at 1000+”
Are you saying you do more damage once you go past like 1500 range?

Or maybe you are saying since it’s hard to hit people at 2000 range you should have a damage increase. There are a lot of people that would disagree with that. But that is something you would address in another forum as that is not a bug.

No that’s not what I am saying…. hence why I said that past max range the damage is actually zero cos ya know, your outta range., but like the OP, I am seeing hits past max range .. so as a bit of tongue in cheek I merely said there appears to be a nice little bonus damage somewhere at the end of that 1000+ tier and beyond
