Guild Wars 2

If you use ground targeted skills beyond their range, they will not cast.
This leads into annoying situations where you are trying to cast a spell (shadowstep), and it is impossible to cast it at max range with the quick cast function on, because 90% of the time it refuses to cast.

You could ofcourse tell people to learn to estimate the maximum range of their spells, but this does not work due to the elevation of the ground and the ever changing camera angle.

I suggest that if you try to cast a spell out of range, you cast it in the direction of the intented spellcast, but at max range. For non-fast ground targeting this would mean that the green circle would not be underneath your mouse if your mouse would target an out-of-range location.

I can’t tell you how many times i died because I try to shadowstep to a place which is usually in range, but under a certain camera angle, or on a hill isn’t.

+1 good idea. Targeting the ground cast stuff already take a lot of time.
