Guild Wars 2

It’s been TWO years. It is no secret that auto attack #3 (sword wave) for Guardian would often miss. It misses anything that is either too short vertically, stationary, abit to the left or abit to the right of you. And I kid you not… I do miss that giant effigy boss in CF1 when he’s in front of me. And when the miss occurs, the chain will keep trying to do that AA3 again till it hits, resulting to huge loss of damage. I did find a workaround of some sort – make your guardian walk backward a few steps from your target right before the third attack, then it will miss less often, but it’s annoying to have to do so everytime.

With obvious shortcoming as such since right from the beginning of the game launch, with players keep bringing up this issues over and over again through out the years, with the consistent absolutely lack of Anet’s evaluation or even just a single response to the issue, it BEGs the question if this is indeed intentional. Regardless how super crazy it sounds, given the lack of fix/response, then the misses being an intended game mechanic are quite a plausible possibility.

@derv: Given the free time to drop in trivial threads like ’what’s the best name for your …’ or ’ Anet, Thanks for…" , mind if you would grace us with a few lines on the topic plz?

Not to mention that it’s also a projectile attack ( no doubt why it also misses alot of the time – you can’t hit siege with it either) for no good reason, so it can be reflected back into your face… odd for a short range melee weapon.
