Guild Wars 2

For the White Mantle to hit me with rocks from an absurd distance when on a glider. It’s gotten me and many of my friends killed when they stun us from half way across the map.

Working as intended

Check out https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/lwd/Homing-Rocks/first for the spirited discussion on this.

Think of it as payback for all the fly-by pewpew you’re doing with your #1 skill.

That said, the airborne combat mechanics aren’t the most refined. But unless air combat becomes a mechanic in the wider game, I doubt Anet will put the resources into overhauling it for just one map.

You can hear the Devs’ intention about this mechanic on the Guild Chat video from Twitch. It would be the one about Bloodstone Fen and Living World Season Two Episode One.

Good luck.

If one is pro-active, one rarely gets ‘shot down’. Use stealth often, and I believe it’s Gliding Skill #4, as well.

Good luck.

They’re hopped up on bloodstone dust, of course they can throw things that far.

The boost glide skill #5 gives you stability. If you spam that as much as possible (when not in or near a leyline ofc) you should rarely get knocked down.

Ahh….Gliding Skill #5, my bad.

Lol, I just use the regular dodge skill, and I rarely get knocked down. Thanks for the clarification. =)

Can you change the title to reflect your post please?

Indeed, I hate click bait titles and topics.
