Xervite.5493 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 The new patch is giving this skill a cast time so sadly no more trickshots but the new changes are welcome nonethelessIn case you dint know about the gimmick here is a video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yasai.3549 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Still gonna use it to yeet people off hills outer. Imo this "nerf" is a buff overall.If yu have no issues with stability or stunbreaking, LB3 can now CC even without Heavy Light, allowing yu to trait Big Game Hunter or Hunter's Fortification instead.

With 0.75 secs cast time and slow projectile speed, hitting something will be like winning the lottery. Ohh, you get no money when you do, since it is zero damage.

I play DH mostly nowadays, media trapper LB/sword. With 0.25 sec it requires much effort and planning to land DS. Skill if you may say. On live, I think it is under powered. No fucking way it will work with an extra 0.5 sec extra cast time. And zero damage?! This is what happens when devs do fucking mediocre work and make bull shit changes that (according to the update update post) have no clue how will impact the game.

I think I'm going to use Hunter's Fortification first. BGH requires that you don't pull... I can't see myself not wanting to do that, especially with the decrease of stability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see myself not wanting to do that, especially with the decrease of stabilityI think BGH would still be a choice pick for PvE encounters, and the added base knockdown is just extra Breakbar damage yu normally wouldn't have.For PvP/WvW, yu may wanna run Hunter's Fortification together with Shelter for nice Condi Cleanse when Blocking, or simply deal more opening damage when yu have no Conditions on yurself, which is pretty easy to accomplish as Medi Trapper. Also, I think it might have been previously wonky to use Deflecting Shot right after Judge's Intervention, but now with extra cast time, it could be used to combo with Judge's Intervention just by aiming forward in the direction of the target and hitting the teleport for surprise unblockable knockdown.

I highly do not suggest running shelter unless you don't take the trap CD reduction trait. I cant wait to try this patch out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
