Cool, let’s add more facts to the list:
- Even a small step in the terrain can obstruct it.
- Will hit only one target unless traited, so it may not hit the intended target.
- Won’t hit a thing if you don’t have a target.
- Can be reflected.
hmm so you want a wallhack, an autotarget and an Unblockable Rapid Fire ?
cool.
It seems that ppl should try to play the class before making assumptions

Well, you have quite a problem then, but not a proffesion problem, if you know what I mean.
my only problem is i cant 1v3 on my ranger yet, 1v2 is easy cake.
How would you redesign the weapons in this game that have “1 button burst” mechanics, like Warrior Greatsword and Ranger Longbow, to suit where you think gameplay needs to go to be balanced?
dude don’t you even dare to compare 100b to Rapid fire, realms and ages can be fit between the two, 100b feels so Stone Age to this new Rapid fire and it actually requires skill to setup properly.
i don’t have anything against rangers but putting these two skills in the same line is wrong.
…..Wrong tangent?
The design of the weapons is absolutely the exact same. Autoattack, burst skill, and the next 3 skills are mostly utility in function. The amount of setup or actual output is irrelevant. The weapon kits themselves have the same design ideology behind them, and they aren’t the only weapons in the game balanced around the “auto attack, 1 big damage skill, 3 utility functions,” I just cba to list the other weapons with the same exact design philosophy because it’s “another one of those threads.”
The point behind the question remains the same; how many buttons then should I have to press is pressing 1 isn’t acceptable? 2? 5+? etc? Who is determining what level of skill input goes into just pressing more buttons?
Not to mention that while their may be some correlation between the amount of buttons needed to be pressed and the amount of “skill” it takes to do so effectively, they are still independent events and can be largely attributed to other variables since skill means proficiency and the idea doesn’t exist only within the realm of Actions per Minute.
And that’s not even taking into account how subjective the idea of “actions per minute requirement implies difficult and skilled play” really is. I could think that elementalists and engineers are faceroll easy (I do actually, PvP meta thief/mesmer builds rank as the highest skill requirement builds currently imo), even though they have more buttons and skills they can press, so then we’re right back at clashing opinions with no measurable facts to be able support either argument.
Now, if everybody would like to talk warrior balance, that’s another thread entirely. Though I will just say flat out that I think that warriors were over-nerfed, especially in regards to how adrenaline degenerates out of combat so quickly and immediately. There is no reason why the “skill scenario” of a warrior holding their last burst of adrenaline at the end of a fight and then being able to carry that and already have full momentum in a nearby fight doesn’t exist, and it adds a level of play to warrior that otherwise makes the burst mechanic a very linear “start every fight slow and gain momentum” mechanic.
im not talking about the meta Warrior, meta warrior got no use for GS anyway.
if you do want a GS, then you want it mostly for mobility, but if you really want GS to be your main damage then you need to babysit 100b no way around it from trait investment to utilities to positioning and so much hustle to deliver a proper 100b.
compared to my range its just as simple as TAB then 2. with no utility investment at all so i can slot all utilities for just survival, GS warrior cant do that.
