So I tried AC ex mode Tzark’s route, twice, and both failed at the Lover’s Tomb part. I’m a ranger and I can’t seem to hit the burrows with either great sword, bow, or axe. Party members reported the same thing happening… so the question is, is it always like this and we’re missing something? or did arenanet kitten up in one of the patches?

I thought they fixed it, because when I did AC yesterday, I seemed to be able to hit the burrows 100% of the time. There weren’t any complaints from the other members, either.

Before, it was awful. I had to circle around it and search for the constantly changing hitbox. It felt like I had a 20% hit chance on it.

So if you are experiencing it, I might just been lucky. A long time ago, I think one of my guildies found it almost impossible to hit it with a bow, but he was able to hit it with a greatsword as a Ranger.

Haven’t been in there since, but the hitboxes for nearly any of the large objects in this game are not the same shape as the object itself. Should change that.

I do agree with Asterisk. I remember in my personal story I had to kill a giant jellyfish. Couldn’t hit it 50% of the time because I didn’t know where exactly his core was and I almost died because of all the missing. I had to actually kite him and wait for my homing attack to come back off cooldown so I could get back in his core until he moved again.

i have trouble hitting them still, though oddly enough i find the Elementalist Elite, Fiery Greatsword works perfectly fine and is a massive boon to have if your running this path.

not saying it’s impossible without one but it’s by far alot easier.

What is your character’s profession and which weapon/skill were you using?

Another bug I found was that I was standing on top of a burrow trying to hit it, and when it died i somehow got “pushed” into and under the stairs close to it and was unable to get out other than using a waypoints.
