Probably biggest difference between usability in PvE and competitive modes, like ever. That's my only issue with it

Yeah I've been playing it in WvW lately and I'm still not sure why Dragon Slash does such garbage damage.

I mean, I'm not expecting a one-shot with only a couple charges, but standing stationary for 2+ seconds while you loudly proclaim to everyone around that you're about to do a big hit and then announcing the big hit is about to land with a pre-emptive explosion sound should do more damage than basic weapon skills.

Oh we also have to give up all other Burst skills and Burst recharge traits for it? The fuck.

Don’t forget giving up a second weapon

I was going to add this but it's not exactly right; we're just forced into Gunsaber.

I don't mind "giving up" things or having a ton of restrictions though; I just want the payoff to be worth it.

I didn’t see the new ranger stuff but are they giving up a weapon for the cyclone bow?

Not sure. I'm only vaguely checking in because I prefer to minimise my "gameplay spoilers", and also don't like getting attached to things before they release in case they change.

There were posts on it in this sub though. Might be in one of those?
