Guild Wars 2

Why do these skills just summon in a random location if you cast them without a target? Sometimes in the case of dragons tooth, they seem to summon underground or in a wall. These skills should be summon on top of the caster if you don’t have anything targeted, this way they’ll be useful as a blast finisher out of combat or without a target.

I like this idea

Yeah id definately support this.

In beta Dragon Tooth was ground targeted.

I could definitely get behind the idea of having ground target spells casting on you selected target if you press the number again (currently this will summon them at the cursor), or on top of you if nothing is targeted.

But yes, I agree that placing is randomly has to be the most useless option.

It’s not random, it’s a set distance in front of the caster.

Well it is because 90% of the time it doesnt do that and it goes in the floor below you. :P

If you angle your camera looking down right above your head it falls on you when theres no target.

More annoying is when you cast it, get CC’d, it descends and does no damage because it’s treated like a channel while a skill like arcing shot will still hit even if you are CC’d.
