Guild Wars 2

Einlanzer.1627:

Frankly, it’s something that’s so painfully obvious to me that it amazes me the forums aren’t lit up about it and that the devs haven’t addressed it.

That’s the thing, though. I don’t find it painfully obvious. I mean, sure it would be nice if LB1 had a bleed or something, especially if that depended on range, but I haven’t noticed any of the discrepancies we’re talking about in this thread.

Here’s the key: I am a mid-level ranger (experienced guardian, just rolled the alt last week), and I thought my damage with the longbow was pretty good, especially with ~45% crit rate. I just make sure I’m at max distance as much as possible, and if I have to I use traps and the knockback shot to get mobs back out of range. If they happen to close to melee then it’s greatsword time.

So is this just something that is noticed at higher levels? I’m not going to reroll this alt since I have max jeweler on her, but it would be good to know now if I should change up my playstyle.
