People always cite HW as a "failure" of phys ranged walking cast without actually considering why it was received that way - because it was lazily tacked onto BRD and people didn't have the option of choosing a phys ranged without casts. MCH was designed with the casts in mind and as a result wasn't really the target of the "remove casts" debacle. It was just BRD that was the issue.
Gonna say this knowing full well I was not playing in Heavensward, and did not play HW BRD, but HW bow mage wishes it were current PVP bow mage. If done right, walking casts could also work very well on BRD as well, but it would need more adjustments than MCH would need to accommodate getting walking casts. Wasn't the problem with HW caster BRD it only became a bow mage at end game, and the leveling process did not prepare players for that playstyle?
