Guild Wars 2

Why does necro’s gs5 require a target? Why cant it just be a targetless ability with the aim display on the ground like Warriors GS3?

I would really like this. It would make it a lot more useful in PvP. Right now it fails half the time because the target is strafing.

Great idea. Anyone opposing this idea because necros are OP as it is, you may have a point but none of those OP necros are going to be using GS anyway.

We actually asked about this in beta. According to Robert Gee, there is a lot of coding regarding this skill that isn’t very apparent to players, but makes adjusting it rather tricky. As it is, the skill doesn’t actually require a target to fire. It seems to be a skill where action camera was really taken into account when they made the targeting change (away from always firing directly in front of you, regardless of where your target or even camera were).
