Guild Wars 2

Everything that uses ground targeting or has no specific target will just make the lightning fire to the ground. You can still hit it when being close or looking upwards but this is utopic in normal sPvP gameplay.

Would be a step in right direction if at least it went for the closest hostile mob/player to us.
It would always have to be a hostile (red name) cause last thing we want is it firing & going to a random object or yellow named mob or a critter.

I just don’t get why it cannot discharge in the direction of our selected target like it does for skills like rifle turret shot, launch personal battering ram, etc. Even rocket boots work fine.

I bet they coded it in some stupid way that it uses the “direction data” of the used toolbelt skill and ofcourse ground target stuff lacks this data. Would be so easy to fix but it takes them months.

With elixirs, even traited, SD will still proc and keep going in the general direction it was thrown, even if it thrown before the target.
