Guild Wars 2

Mine field seriously needs to hit more definitively. I mean come on! I run into melee, where I could easily get cleaved or nuked or 4 ways from rekt and there’s still a chance that my skill could miss because reasons?! Come on guys PLEASE!!!!

Pretty sure it is because enemy is not affected by spells when they go in downed state. It has nothing to do with mine field.

The dude wasn’t in downed state. He was just knocked down.

Are you talking about war or thief?

edit: nvm, you meant the thief. He did get hit once for 921 dmg.

Yea…. that still proves my point about the unreliability of mine field.

You think this is only spell in game that reliably doesn’t land in most cases, when it should lol?

….Sooo what does that have to do with anything? Are you trying to say that I shouldn’t complain about mine field because some other skill that I haven’t mentioned is also broken? Is this another “all the houses are burning so don’t complain” argument?

No, but judging by devs actions so far, the mine field is good enough, if it hits even once.

Prime example: scorpion wire, fails 90% of the time, but 10 % is good enough to leave it untouched for years.

I’ve used Scorpion wire quite a lot. It’s literally part of the only build I run on thief in PvP and I personally do not experience the 90% failure rate you speak of. I’ve never felt the amusement of “Wow that didn’t hit at all” while using it like I have when using Mine field.

Don’t get me wrong, Mine field does hit sometimes, but when it doesn’t hit….. I’m putting myself in arms way, my own skill shouldn’t be working against me. That’s all I’m saying.
