Guild Wars 2

This suggestion is mainly aimed at mobility skills such as ground targeted shadow steps and teleports.

At the moment, you can only click within the range of the skill to activate the skill successfully and if even a pixel beyond the range it will not activate.

My suggestion is to change it in such a way that we can click outside the range and it automatically adjusts it to the furthest range in that particular direction. This way those classes with shadow steps (mainly mesmers and thieves) are able to maximise their efficiency with those skills.

This may cause trouble for other particular skills but this is simply a suggestion.
Any feedback appreciated.

Would be great for all ground targeted skills tbh, especially with fast ground targeting enabled but I bet you’re going to get many “L2P” comments.

I totally agree. +1

That would be wonderful. +1! Though I wonder how it would interact with my other hope for ground targeting, to wit, centering aoe on your current target rather than on where your cursor happens to be (as suggested by others in past threads). Since I move with my mouse my cursor is not free ranging unless I stand still to target.

A hotkeyable toggle to elect whether it does range adjustment or target centering would be awesome.

I like this suggestion to.o. While I’m finally mostly used to the range system in this game, things like sudden changes in terrain can easily throw me off when I’m casting a ranged targeted spell. This would be a nice way to mitigate that or even (in the case of maybe defending high grounds in WvW) to teach and familiarize players the range limits of their abilities and the range system in general.

Also, I play an Asuras Mesmer but recently made a Charr Elementalist and HOLY STARS, getting used to that scale change is a bit disorienting. I even have trouble adjusting the Elementalist teleport cantrip to maximize distance covered even though I have no issues doing the same thing with Blink even though both skills have the same range.
