They felt shortbow did to much damage with QS so they nerfed the damage.
Whats the big deal, get over it allready, is not like the class changed.
Rather play my ranger than my mesmer, and yes im shortbow.
I can live with a 7% nerf, I can BARELY live with the craptastic way they handled the nerf and telling us about it.
Can you sit there and honestly say the new SB+QZ is only SEVEN PERCENT slower than the new SB+QZ? People did testing in the mega thread, IIRC its about 15% slower or more than the old
The shortbow is 7% slower, so it attacks at 93% of its original speed. QZ doubles your attack speed. 93%*2 = 186%, 14% slower than it was before the nerf.
Unless they said it’s 7% slower with QZ, of course.
Except not quite – attack speed doesn’t affect the fact that it’s 7% either way.
Suppose that before the change you attack 100 times in 4 seconds, and with QZ 200 times in 4 seconds. After the nerf, 93 times in 4 seconds versus 186 with QZ.
93/100 = 186/200 = 93%.
Whatever people in the “megathread” said, I’d take with a grain of salt. It is not at all guaranteed that most/any of them had data from before the change to compare with.
Oh dear. I think I’ll have to add this to my “epic math failures” booklet.
