Guild Wars 2

I am not sure if this has been brought up previously. I have mostly played Melee so I hadn’t notice this issue before, but while leveling my Engineer (using pistols) I have noticed that mobs tend to reset if I am not careful about how I move while fighting. If I kite back to far while shooting they start running back to their original position, betting that huge health regen. Usually when they reach that spot they then charge right back at me again.

It almost makes me feel like I am being penalized for playing smart and not just letting the mobs beat on me.

Has nothing to do with your weapon, it’s because everything has a leash distance to keep you from training things across the map.

Kites in circles, not straight backwards. Takes a bit of getting used to (in fact, when I swap from my Mesmer to my Ranger, I run into the same problem and I play a ranged Mesmer… :3)

Yeah, I mean I understand the leash aspect. I guess I just want it a little longer. Its just annoying to be actively in a battle with it. Shooting away when It decides. “Oh sorry don’t feel like killing you anymore” and walks away.

The problem isn’t so much with the walking away. The main problem is that when the mobs leash, they almost instantly heal up for no reason, even if you are still dealing damage to them.

If the mobs want to turn around and flee like the cowards they are, fine. But they should still be killable.

o.O that would be so abused…
