Guild Wars 2

The day I got the piercing arrow trait is the day I started to really enjoy my ranger. I was running a shortbow/ longsword/ warhorn build, so I really did not have much AoE capacity. Suddenly, after getting this trait, I was able to line up my targets and essentially kill 2 mobs in the time it used to take me to kill one. I use a lot of swiftness buffs and then the cripple and stun of the shortbow allow me to outmaneouver enemies and make sure that each arrow hits at least 2 targets. In events with huge masses of enemies, I always keep my target on the farthest back enemy so I pierce through the maximum amount of targets. The only drawback is occasionally aggro’ing a mob that I hadn’t intended to, but this happens rarely and hasn’t become an issue yet. I highly recommend this trait to builds that rely on a bow for damage.

I spent my entire afternoon doing the event and got disconnected towards the end of the second reinforcement phase. By time I got back in, the event was over and the chest was gone. Perhaps it would have been considerate to give rewards all the way throughout the event instead of piling on the loot at the very end. What little loot I gained in the event wasn’t even able to cover my repair fees; meanwhile people who did not get disconnected received very valuable items and equipment.
