Guild Wars 2

Hi. I’m sure everyone feels that they have to guess when they’re opponent is within their range to be able to throw a skill at them. This is an issue because we always create an extra gap to avoid risking a wasted CD of a skill just because we were out of range.

ofcourse not all classes feels this way, such as mesmers, they can just use their autoattack and start casting their skills as soon as their greatsword spatial surge starts hitting opponent. but for everything else, such as thief steal skill, we keep have to guess the range or else it’ll go on a 5 sec CD as if it was interrupted.
For a skill such as infiltrator’s return (thief sword), we end up not hitting our target nor immobilizing and on top of it resulting on 5 wasted initiatives if we decided to teleport back.

My suggestion is to add that range indicator. The type of indicator I’m suggesting is a color change in the letter key we have keybounded(ex: i’ve keybounded my Infiltrators strike to “E” and this “E” will change it’s color to red/green (w/e) whenever the skill is out of range to hit it’s target.)
if you’re at it, don’t forget the “F-X” skills.

Thanks in advance

Err … there is an indicator already, see that red line under the skill? If a target is inside the range that line disappear.

you are right, though i never noticed it’s even there lol.

however, now i only suggest you add indicator to numbers as well because imo it’s hard to see the lines in my case :/. just a minor improvement suggestion i guess.

The current indicator needs to be changed. The one in beta was much more visible and clear. They should’ve kept it.
