Rifle or Longbow?

[AESOkami.1072]

Just a genuine question. What warrior range weapon would you guys prefer in something like PVE?

[Jzaku.9765]

Rifle for power build, Longbow for Condi build. Pretty straightforward. Neither with Spellbreaker, the spec wants you to melee as much as possible to abuse Full Counter.

I'd prefer rifle.

[choovanski.5462]

would only use rifle if you have gunflame tbh. otherwise LB is a better choice.

 

both are poor choices for group content tho, and open world is so easy anything works. jus regular PvE things

[Oglaf.1074]

Longbow because it is just such a useful and flexible weapon.

 

Especially in raid encounters.

[Cerby.1069]

longbow is better, but I like rifle as a weapon better. movement is limited when u use a longbow, rifle is much more fluid.

[ProverbsofHell.2307]

Longbow is better for both condition and power. Longbow completely outclasses Rifle.

I generally expect that if a warrior is using rifle, it is for gunflame.

 

And for solo content, having your second weapon be ranged isn't unreasonable.

 

I approach open world/story instances with greatsword/rifle and switch, depending on range.
