Guild Wars 2

Everyone knows this skill is broken (every pvp player, I cannot say if it works correctly most of the time in pve… I know it doesn’t work well with svanir if someone is already fighting him). Whether they are a an ele or not, everyone sees the ball of lightning stop in it’s tracks. Sometimes they run into it and somethings they just attack it.

This is a game breaking bug for elementalist, why hasn’t it been fixed yet? I had 2 games in a row where it did not connect 1 time… not once. Seems like this should be pretty high on the list…

It seems to work much better in pve for me but you cant use it on most bosses because it wont hit. so you end up sitting in front of the boss like an idiot for a few seconds till it breaks or he one shots you.

Yeah its pretty buggy atm. Im feeling with you.

But it looks cool ;D

Yeah I agree with the bugs and issues with it, a lot of the time I won’t make it to my target in pvp. It would be nice if they would make the explosion a little larger to help with the issue of not being able to connect with the target, or whether you get there early and just “hangout” in ball of lighting form.

In PvE it almost never missed on regular mobs unless you use it over rough terrain (i.e., it’s a pretty awesome skill in PvE).

In PvP however, it almost never hits from long range. I tend to use it from low to intermediate range, and mostly for the quick re-engage, AOE aspects, and to set up an updraft combo. The skill could be greatly improved simply by fixing it’s functionality (although I doubt this is an “easy” fix from Arenanet’s standpoint).

As a quick workaround, they could let you press the skill button again to trigger the explosion and get out of it immediately.

This is probably the single most annoying aspect of using an OH dagger. At the bare minimum they need to let us stop the spell mid channel. That needs to be added immediately.

Then if they coded something like “if movement = 0; Stop” or whatever so when it hangs or bugs, the ability just ends. better than a hovering self immobilize.

Then if they just use whatever code they used for the warrior charge I think we’d be alright, I never see that bug.

Magnetic grasp really needs to be looked at too. Bugs a lot as well. Ever use it up in clock tower? Bounces you around like a pingpong ball half the time.
