I don’t know if anyone noticed it, but Modrem Thrasher’s tendrils attacks don’t need line of sight to hit players. Many times the Thrasher is not even facing me and I am standing ABOVE it (like on a rock, hill, fort..etc) and it still hits?
I also want to nitpick about that range. Although I really could understand why it has that much range, when it’s boss’s attack range is even further. Still it is annoying.

Still, it’s that tendril attack that don’t need line of sight that is the problem. Seriously, we players and many mobs need line of sight to attack. But why only the Thrasher’s tendril attacks don’t need line of sight?

Is it intentional? Or a bug? or ANET don’t care at all?

You’re referring to the Leeching Thrasher, I presume. The trick is to get close to it, since its tentacles can’t reach close around it for some reason. However, this becomes troublesome it there are multiple ones focusing you, which can happen.

I know about the melee range thing. What I meant was it attacks without line of sight. And I can confirm on multiple occasion, there was only 1 and not even looking at me. Not even once. It was concentrating on someone else. If it had looked at me once, I won’t say anything as it already registered by char there and can attack anytime, but I was facing to it’s back all the time and I still get hit? If this is not call OP, I don’t what is already. And people are screaming OP for condi builds now! LOL.
