I’m not sure if this requires a trait to function or happens naturally, but Revenant Hammer auto-attack has no collision detection. I watched a group of 3 Revenants (part of a bigger zerg) methodically remove every AC and mortar that weren’t in line of sight over the gate they were sieging, before focus-firing any defender on that wall so that they couldn’t drop AoE or disablers.

Line of Sight breaking skills like Dragon’s Tooth, Life Transfer, and of course the wonderful offensive Arrow Cart were bad enough for defenders to begin with, but this is absurd. It’s an auto-attack for crying out loud.

It isnt just revs. Lots of ranged attacks are ignoring walls at the moment. Some walls you have to stand in certain places to make it happen, but most of them are acting like they arent there at all.

But to continue with the revs bugs, most of their ground attacks, attacks that travel along the ground, all pass though gates like they arent there. So dont stand close to the gate if there is a rev on the other side!

Yesterday i had rapid fires on me through tier3 walls. Must be something wrong with Line Of Sight at certain spots.

On the other hand, projectiles for all classes are frequently obstructed by thin air even when you’re firing at something right in front of you. Walls may not be a problem, but empty space annihilates projectiles.

Happened to me inside mendon, ranger shooting me straight through the wall. Also at red keep water I accidentally either daredevil dashed or vaulted through the gate, not sure which I did both after another but ended up inside the keep.

Yeah I’ve had my projectiles go through walls and get obstructed by thin air as well. It’s annoying and also exploitable

For some reason my necro’s staff and axe attacks have obstructed much more often while attacking things on top of towers/keeps & also cannons/burning oil.

Its pretty much impossible to even try to defend keeps against a superior force due to this issue.

I was alone vs 10 peeps banging on a door, I could have delayed or at least disturbed them but nope – complete area denial, I couldnt be on any wall nearby because they kept doing a ton of damage with ranged straight through the walls. Had to back far away and just watch them.

Fun fun.

Ele scepter dragon tooth used to do this and to be honest it was a bad thing, as an Ele player myself it was a game breaker.

This rev skill sounds very similar and hopefulyl will be fixed/tweaked in the future. most people are ok with large random hitting AOE such as meteor shower coz there’s no garuntee it’ll hitthe siege in the first place and has a long cooldown, dragons tooth on the other hand was spammable and targeted.

Dragon tooth is nothing compared to this. At least that you can dodge out of. For this, there is no escape. Its constant autoattacks.
