Guild Wars 2

Please implement an ‘out of range message’ when using skills beyond their maximum range, since i have wasted countless ‘steals’ (i only play a thief in pve atm) and scorpion wires. The skill in question goes on (a reduced) cooldown without an effect. It would help a lot if the skill didn’t trigger and an ‘out of range message’ appears.

I suspect this affects most other classes as well…

The problem is that GW2 gives us a possibility to use skills out of combat, for example the thief’s Heartseeker, to boon ourselves before getting into range of the enemy.

And there’s a strategy where you, for example with Mesmer Greatsword, stay at maximum range and go in and out of it, when your beam is up. Should all channel-able skills be cut off because they walk out of range for a second?

Nah, it’s fine as it is, you just have to learn the range of your abilities
