Guild Wars 2

I don’t know if this is a recent mess-up, or if it’s been around forever and I just now noticed it, but something is massively wrong with the Warrior’s Longbow #1 skill, Dual Shot.

The tooltip indicates it does a certain amount of low-medium damage x2, but this is misleading because in reality the damage displayed is for both shots together, not each individually. Additionally, it has a very slow rate of fire that, unlike Long Range Shot, wasn’t buffed in the last patch.

Consequently, Dual Shot is exceedingly weak, seemingly much weaker than any other autoattack in the game. It appears to me to be a major bug or an oversight, like it should be doing twice the damage it does.

I don’t know if it’s always been like that but LB on warrior has felt extremely weak.
However looking at the numbers in my hero panel the numbers look to be about equal to the rest(not account for the attack rate).

According to the wiki, Dual Shot takes about 25% longer to activate than Bleeding Shot from Rifle even though they both list a 3/4s activation time.

This doesn’t make any sense. I just left Cursed Shore to go to a lower level area and it seems like the two scaled down totally differently. In Cursed Shore, rifle massively outdamages longbow #1, but when I went to a level 20 area they were much, much closer in their total output.

Is there an explanation for this?
