this is a GS build, not a longbow build
the longbow is just there to put some fire on the walls because its the only siege weapon for warrior and thus a must in wvw, disregard it :P the best mobility is from runes and leg specialist. and no i dont bleed much, bleed is kitten and i eat those 1h warriors for breakfest any day any time. The added rally health is because when you spearhead a zerg you gonna rally like popups on a porn site and keep smashing heads in to rally more, its worth it in WvW. I used to use bullsrush when i was a newbie and did bulls-frenzy-100b combo – but outside that, dont see much use. what stance do you suggest? i used to run around with frenzy and last chance but eventually dropped it again in favour of fear me – great to get away from sticky chasers, great for making people suicide over cliffs, great for causing havoc in the middle of enemy zerg. really powerfull skill.
If your longbow is only used for keep attack, I would opt for another weapon on your off. Something that is useful in the middle of combat. If I were you, I’d use Sword/Shield as my off. This combination would allow you to run away/be defensive more. You can use the sword leap without a target to quickly return to your zerg if your health is low. As well as using the shield block to survive more (Also! If you’re in the middle of a zerg and use block with traited reflect and traited might on block, you can stack near 20+ might in those 3 seconds) . Not to mention shield stun. The cripple (and traited immobilize) is great because it affects multiple players.
Then, when you attack a keep and need the longbow, just manually swap your weapons. The reason this seems better is because you’re not utilizing all available combinations. You’re only using longbow situationally, so you can just swap from inventory.
