Guild Wars 2

So this has been bugging me a lot lately, so for example the Statue of Dwayna just keeps on sliding into the corners when melee get to close and the mob keeps moving backwards into place that the poor ranged can’t hit because of an LoS issue.

This is usually caused by gap closers like Leap attack and in my case flashing blade which blink far to close to the mobs and causing them to adjust position, which in turn causes players to move closer for melee range and then causes a chain reaction making them seem to slide all over the place.

Another example is the Champion instigator in southsun, granted if it moves to far from its starting position it teleport’s back.

Problem is I’m getting tired of chasing a mob around while in melee, especially when I’m tanking the mobs (which is almost always the case as a guardian) that I just say to myself sod it I’m just gonna range it with my scepter. I also feel bad for players using ground target aoe spells like Lava font.

I can think of three ways to fix this issue, one is to adjust leap/blink skills to not leap/blink on top of mobs but just in the furthest away point in a mobkitten box.

Increasing the melee range would also help, some mobs keep moving like Ettin’s yet you can still hit them when out of range, but only if you spam 1 as auto attacks won’t work adjusting the range would stop that from happening, however this would not stop players from always trying to be as close as possible unfortunately.

The best option i can think of is locking the Champions and Legendary mobs position to the one with the aggro, I can even live with flashing blade moving me to close because I know I have to back peddle slightly after using it to make sure it doesn’t move, which is great when you have ranged players as back up, but as soon as another melee jumps in it will also adjust to that player as well.

Also as a side note, for the love of Dwayna adjust Rangers aggro tables so their mere presence doesn’t cause them to gain aggro and me having to perma chase mobs all over the place…..
