Guild Wars 2

If any Ranger has used Stalker Strike with Offhand Training before the recent Specializations patch, you already know what I’m talking about:

The current Stalker’s Strike is pitiful and wouldn’t ever hit anything moving. The enhanced ranged version offered by our old Offhand Training trait gave the skill newfound viability as not only a movement skill for opening or closing gaps, but also as a surprise ganking skill in PvP encounters where, for example, a Ranger would appear to be fleeing the enemy only to pop out and use Stalkers Strike to setup a well placed Splitblade.

Rangers desperately need the range component of Stalker’s Strike in order to utilize Ambidexterity to the fullest extent, and so that our weapon evades will, once again, define us in our defensive and offensive combat.
