What Is Ranged Burst?

Jeddahwe

Hi,

Which setup(s) could be described as ranged burst?

I know Sorcerer have amazing ranged burst, but who else? Weapon based specs may be more than viable but are the 'bursty'?

Sorcerer is ranged burst due to class skills, DK has no 28m skills...NB has but none of them have burst..NB burst is all melee...So that leaves Templar...Can Templar abilities burst at range? Not sure...So we have 1 possibility to play ranged burst?

It depends on how you define "burst."

I dunno, try pumping everything into stamina and getting a sneak attack with the bow's 'snipe' skill.

Sure but then what? Sorcerer multiple abilities most are instant and can line them up with knock down and blow stuff up..Seeing how PvP in this game will turn out you won't kill anything without 'real' burst.

Melee has burst..But other then Sorcerer no one can burst from range...you can DPS wit h any class..just not burst!

Right?

Shimond

So you're trying to make the argument that sorcerers (and ranged ones at that) are the only viable class in PvP?

I apologize I came across as trying to make an argument, I have no bases to do so...I am asking a question: basically can you guys help out in trying to figure out how to range burst with anything other than a Sorcerer in PvP?

Let me share what I mean by ranged burst, can any other class do this:
