Guild Wars 2

[Confusing Images] is being interrupted by the Ranger hide. It is also possibly being redirected by taunt. It is a channeled skill and should not lose target.

I find this infuriating in light of the fact that rapid fire is not untargeted by stealth. That’s not to mention the recent nuke nerfs. Stop trying to kill Mesmer, devs.

[Unrelenting Assault] is being interrupted by the Mesmer hide. It is a channeled skill and should not lose target.

I find this infuriating in light of the fact that Phantasmal Duelist fire is not untargeted by stealth. That’s not to mention the recent nuke to Revenant Sword 2. Stop trying to kill Revenants, devs.

…Did I do that right?!

#sarcasm, at least you were creative. I posted on the bug forum. You should too.

It’s not a bug, I play warriir and ranger hide kept on changing my target.

You don’t understand. Channeled skills should not be untargeted by invisibility. This is according to the wiki. Confusing Images is a channeled attack.

Ranger Rapid fire is a channeled skill. It can’t be evaded by invisibility or short range teleport. So, if ranger hide evades a channeled attack like Confusing Images; Then Ranger has a significant defensive advantage.

Unrelenting Assault would like to have a word with you……… and with the devs.

I’ve heard that. So, it would seem this is a bug.

Can’t get in game right now. But you should test it with other beam weapons like Druid staff AA, Ele Air Sceptre AA etc.

Who said it untargeted anything, unless I am wrong the rabger hide just switch target. Then again, I don’t know rangers mechs.

I say, test it and maybe get it on video, from the Ranger’s perspective since you can’t tell much the other way around.

I’ll check this out too.

Confusing images while both being channeled skills are very different and should be treated as such (being invulnerable to being hit while you follow your target around should get interupted while your target stealths, just like mesmer sword 2 skill locks you in place) on confusing images i believe it shouldnt get interupted by going stealth (i believe thieves and engi’s will still get hit by it).

Channeled skills, generally, are not supposed to be untargeted by stealth. That’s why I’m calling attention to it. Ranger [Rapid Fire] is also channeled and is not untargeted by steath.

Probably has something to do with the ‘allow skill retargeting of channeled skills’ option. Try turning that off and testing again.

100 blades (and rush), pistolwhip, sword2 for mesmer, shield bash, bulls rush. All have a casting time/windup time and will lose target and thats just 3 classes.

@Fay, hmm thanks I’ll look.

@Daggerhands, the fact that there are skills with tells that can be evaded in no way invalidates my argument. That’s what you seem to be trying to imply.

[Confusing Images] is a channeled skill and by anet’s own rules it should not be evaded by stealth. That’s a very long standing rule of engagement.

Further, it’s only selectively enforced. Ranger [Rapid Fire] channels as it should. Therefore this bug or ninja nerf is a major advantage to Ranger. That’s just plain wrong and no amount of justifying or giving anecdotes will change that.
