Guild Wars 2

Trying to defeat Liadri for 117th time, and don’t get me wrong, I love the boss’ difficulty. But I don’t like it, when bugs get in my way of winning.

As a ranger, I use Shortbow to dps her in her 2nd phase, I try to destroy ALL cosmic rifts to not get caught off guard. However, arrows can’t, for the most part, hit the rifts – they simply get obstructed.

I love the boss, but this quick and easy fix really annoys me.

Edit: I need to use Throw Torch to destroy them, because axes don’t either. Neither does the throwing knife – and OH knife has an evade, so it would be super cool, if I could actually use that…

Crippling shot of all things seems to work against them. At least for me.

No, I have no idea why.

I guess it’s to encourage weapon swap between melee and ranged.
Just use gs and cleave them down, then switch back to bow.

It could be intended that they are suppose to be “immune” to projectiles, and just sometimes one skill sneaks through. Either way, it’s intended mechanics would be nice to know.

Yes this is the most annoying thing in the fight. I’d have done it a long time ago if i didn’t stand there shooting at it and dying.

It’s not a feature, it’s a bug. I tested it (RIP tickets), and I can get it to work with the Throw Torch, but not Throw Knife (both weapons are OH-only).

Yep, having the same problem and it’s very annoying.

As it is now, the center of mass where all projectiles fly through is located below the grating itself; meaning, in order for the projectile to hit it must go through the grating – something that is impossible; thus the obstructed.

My ranger would like to have a word with some arena net devs.

So many things about this fight are flat out broken and not a word about any fixes.

Throw us a bone here, Anet?

I can also confirm that the Rifts are obstructed when attempting to use ranged attacks to destroy them.

so…
