Guild Wars 2

This patch they made an already bugged skill even worse:

• Disabling Shot: This skill will now always move you directly away from your target.

It did move you directly away from your target before the change already.
All it changed is when you don’t face your target and you press this skill, it now turns your character back around before the animation when the skill was designed to be used when facing away from the target.

Let me explain: before patch when you used this skill facing away from your target, the character kept running on away from the target seamlessly(leap+walk phases). However, when you casted this skill facing your target, you leapt away and then walked back towards your target(hence why you get hit by melee hits when using this supposed gap-opener).
Now they implemented the bugged behavior to even the functioning aspect of this skill.

Solution: remove the walking part from the skill(but then dont make the character stuck either) or make it at least walk away from your target rather than towards it. Even a revert would be better than nothing tough.

Same applies to ranger sb3 apparently

There are still some thieves playing this game. Need to weed them out.

GENIUS! Do it. Now. No lunch breaks!

Are you arguing that they made shortbow even worst than it was before? SB #5 was our only usefull skill

SB sounds too much like SAB, something the devs want players to forget. So they disabled it. HA. Anyway, sorry to hear about this change, sounds crummy. I’ve been mostly on ele lately, but thief is fun because its so fluid. Something like this takes away that fluidity.

BTW the ranger sb3 even states on skill tooltip: This can be used while retreating. well, not so much anymore. They seemed to forget the purpose of these skills.

This is why you should NEVER ask for a bug fix on a thief. it will alway’s end up a nerf.

I think nobody asked for this “bugfix”, they die that on their own.
Because gamebreaking.

Anet, plz just revert the latest change if you don’t have time to fix the skill

I’m gonna bet there won’t be any response nor change revert as like for withdraw. If something can debiliting thief is working as intended

This issue still persists, and now that the devs are wokring on a new balance patch I’d like to remind them about this bug.

so it wasn’t me :\

Shortbow 3 i’m gonna miss you, you have been my friend for soo long…

you know i think if devs would get tripple thief on their team every time they do pvp they would actually might try to fix this class for once~

But Cynz, that would imply they play their own game
