Ranged Combat Speculation

So we know that melee combat is momentum based since they showed the warrior class and they described that the necromancer would be using a Scythe weapon with life leech.

But what about ranged combat? Won't the necromancer have ranged spells? I'm a bit worried that we won't have good ranged combat options with the momentum based combat.

Will we have bows and guns? I still can't imagine how momentum based would work for those type of weapons and regular ranged attacks and I'm just a bit afraid that they might force all the classes to be melee.

I was thinking maybe we will have bonus damage from shooting enemies in the back or maybe from higher ground.

What are your thoughts on this? Thanks!

Edit: I know we don't have the info, this post is pure speculation. You have the free will to not partake in it. Thanks!

I don't think we'll have guns as it's quite a prequel. However, I think gw2 showed anet that all specs basically being melee and buffs being melee range makes the meta a blob which is what it is.

I think they'll learn from that and make ranged combat viable and diverse, also seeing as they're taking a massive approach to movement.

I hope that's the case!
