Guild Wars 2

The multiple impact system is an interesting mechanic, but not when it allows to double the dip the damage and do two singular hits. Please fix this bug. Revenants don’t need that.

Example on the video.

Note to self. Figure out how to use bug.

Jesus, I want to do that, let us know how so we can abuse it and Anet is forced to fix it.

It is simple to understand how and why it works but tricky to get it to work consistently in an actual match. Basically there are 3 impacts in a line, with small overlaps between each impact. If your target is the perfect distance away from you then you will hit them with the overlapped section of the impacts and get double hits. Since there are 3 impacts that means there are 2 spots where they overlap, between the first and second, and then between the second and third. Since the second and third impacts do more damage, having the target in that range is optimal.

Actually the impacts might not technically overlap, you may only get the double hits if you straddle the line between the impacts so that part of your hit box is in one impact and the rest is in the other. All this would mean is that a bit more precision with positioning is required to get the double hits.

Thank you, that was very kind.
