Another thing to mention is that if you have nothing targeted when using Shortbow 5 and then target someone during its channel, you don't have to face the target in order to land it. Makes it very good for disengaging or about face spamming but adds to the micro managing.
I love how educational your content is, and how approachable the skills you're teaching are since you're not some 10,000 games won, plat 3 god who has every skill programmed into them like an infallible AI. I ran into you for the first time today in a game (and got destroyed a few times, did kill you once though) but I didn't even realize how close I already was to your level. Maybe I'll catch up someday if I keep studying your videos. I hope you keep improving though so I can keep learning!
@@campioneri Nice! I actually started my channel as a way to review my own games to get better. I'm definitely not the best out there. I just try to make the content that I would wanna watch if I were a new player. Best of luck. Hope to have you on my team some time
this isnt the video for this, but thank you a lot for all the info you give about reve i commented some time ago saying that i was shit at reve, thankfully wvw helped me a ton understanding the class as a hole and now im destroying pvp with vindi
@@lapusso3704 Awesome, glad to hear about your improvement! Power Rev is super hard to pick up for the first time but is so incredibly satisfying once you get the hang of it
yay im so glad my favorite pvp rev youtuber made a vid of the shortbow! i have to confess that i am an action camera shortbow enjoyer though. in my defense i dont have a choice because i play on a controller xD. i still got into plat this season but its prob my build thats carrying me, because i have to admit my mechanics arent as good as yours.
@@homage3 thanks! personally i think shortbow is easier to play as condi because rune of the lynx gives 25% movespeed, opening up a lot of variations in relic (no need for wayfinder) and traits. having movespeed attached to the rune is such a buff
@@wuwuzelaaaa Very great point. I definitely could have mentioned that. You can also use no port spots to have an advantage against them. But eventually one will catch you out of position and it'll hurt real bad lol
@@2pacMemories Yes! It's definitely a love it or hate it weapon. Not my cup of tea! But I thought I'd explain why in depth for all those who asked Glad to hear you've found success with Vindi though!
Shortbow would be a perfect weapon if it had little bit more defense. There is a way they could do it, while same time giving more condi cover. Shortbow skill 4: Add also blind condi/pulse 😮💨
@@drios8809 Agreed. If it had more defensive skills it would be kinda OP. Although it's imperfect, I like where it's at as a high risk high reward weapon
Often times when I make guide videos I'm reluctant to put a build in them. This is because builds come and go with balance changes and I want my guides to be relevant for as long as possible. That being said, this is the shortbow herald build I had the most success with while filming and the one used in this video: gw2skills.net/editor/?PmgAUFlpQMMLyjdRdMMijJSksCigpsVfbF-DaIPkMlC9KCSYBo2TAAA
@@homage3 Nah man, i keep my reve as an alt for ocasional play and thanks to some of your videos i got good enough where i can make my builds, have fun and dont get always destroyed!🙌

Wow I didn't know about that one! Thanks!
the tier part and insights about which skills on the shortbow don't fire behind you are EXCELLENT - from a mesmer main
@@joanwu1204 Thank you! I'm sure you're familiar with lots of clunky skills if you're a mesmer main hahaha. GS3 ruins my burst every single time
Dude, this is probably the best GW2 video I've seen. The effort is clear!!!!!!!!
@@ArkayneShad0w Thank you so much. I put a lot of time into this one and am really glad that came through. Thanks again
I am the level 1 shortbow enjoyer, really showing those rabbits who's boss

Your rotations must be on point. Nicely done

If you ever come across thieves, then keep in mind that you do have a really strong reveal on Herald.
@@wuwuzelaaaa Very great point. I definitely could have mentioned that. You can also use no port spots to have an advantage against them. But eventually one will catch you out of position and it'll hurt real bad lol
Lovin the content bro nice chill delivery as well
@@reg6977 Thank you glad you enjoyed!
Love the smash bros intro
Awesome vid Homage. After learning the GS/Staff vindi, I can’t go back to Shortbow lol
Mind you, I learned it watching your videos. Had no idea how to use it before so shortbow was my noob buster
@@2pacMemories Yes! It's definitely a love it or hate it weapon. Not my cup of tea! But I thought I'd explain why in depth for all those who asked

@@homage3 That's why the blind condis, it's not something like an evade/charge or block in one 😁.
Had to laugh abour the bumblebee 😂😂😂
@@Weasel6x6 I thought he did a great job 🤣
Great Video !
@@CharlieGamer-12 Thank you!
10/10
great content
@@rxyal Thank you!
I hate stealth so much. If only they make the ranger spear mechanic apply to all thieves where they activate a skill from stealth reveals them
I might've missed, but was the build even mentioned in the vid?

My guy just roasted all of us "MID" players without roasting us, hats off😂 Nice video man! Keep it up
@@Darkpirox Thanks very much! I'm also pretty mid which is why I don't love the shortbow LOL

can post build and gear? Those who don't speak English can't copy
Is this a power build?
Yes it is
opening equipent during the fight 😂. I sometimes open trading post 🥲
@@drios8809 Ugh yes I recently got a new keyboard so I'm still getting my muscle memory dialed in lol
