Guild Wars 2

Glider skill 4 is very underwhelming at the moment, and one of the biggest problems I have with navigating Bloodstone Fen is being randomly knocked out of the air by some projectile I didn’t see only to fall to my death before I am able to deploy my glider again. It wouldn’t be such a problem if you got a mark over your head when you were being targeted because then you could predict and evade through it but as it is right now not even stealth gliding helps once the projectile is launched.
If glider skill 4 broke stun then I would feel like the whole “homing rock” situation would be much more manageable because you’d actually be able to react instead of just watching your character plummet to their death.

Thoughts on this? Or am I just doing it wrong?

You’re not wrong. I’d also love the targetting mark over my head. It would allow me to react and actually provide an interesting game mechanic, instead of multiple cheap-shot projectiles that come out of nowhere. However, with the number of such projectiles coming our way the mark would be there all the time…

I’d welcome this change.

I think that’s a nice idea. Right now the 4 skill is of such minimal use — though the regen is nice at times -- that I advise people new to the Fen to buy it last. Add in a warning target symbol and the ability to recover when falling and it’ll help a lot (though when falling you don’t have the glider skills, so I’m not sure how that would work).
