Guild Wars 2

With the last skill change, the Elementalist Scepter spell Dragon Tooth changed to ground targeting. While this can be useful in some cases, it also ended the only scepter spell for bombing things out of sight in WvW. (This spell was often used to kill sieges and enemy players around it on top of or behind walls.) I play Scepter/Dagger and have no other spell that can do this.

I would like to suggest to at least allow players who prefer the old cast-on-selected-target functionality to use it the old way. For example by making it a selectable option for players.

No. Ground targetting is better than the old cast-on-target in most situations, that gimmick it was being used for isn’t worth losing the new control we gained. Casting without LOS is kinda weird anyways.

And I don’t see them making it a selectable option. No skill in the game has this ability and it’s doubtful that their infrastructure is built to handle it.

Ground target is in most cases a buff.
Feels a lot better to have it controlled.
It just needs a shorter delay before it falls.

Yes, lets reverse the only benefit the elementalist got in that trash patch to make it a clean sweep.

Not if you want to bomb stuff on walls or behind gates in WvW.

I don’t suggest to remove the ground targeting, just give us an option to select the behaviour. For my part for all ground targeting spells if that’s okay.

I mean…I liked it also for clearing things through walls…but I don’t think anything was ever intended to clear things through walls.

Excuses.
