Guild Wars 2

OK here I notice about flamethrower.Autoattack is shooting where camera facing.Tried them on golems in Heart of the mist. Problem is whenever target on different elevation about one high of a character its always miss. So anyone bunny hopping can avoid the burning condition.The most obvious case is Frost a boss in Caudecus Manor who have Chill spraying attack.Any player can cheese him away standing on the railing of stair.

Also Flame Blast have the same trouble at tracking as well.When you use them outright from auto attack the projectile always goes downward and waste your shot.So the only viable way to shoot this is to switch to rifle/pistol then to apply cripple/root then switch back to shoot flame blast.The projectile tracking is bad as well which should be fixed if the explosion damage can still be dealt if it hit obstacle.

If above fault is fixed Flame Thrower could really shine.

i think they know about the miss thing though you wont probly see it fixed soon

This issue has been known for quite some time, and is often one of the key arguments some make against the Flamethrower. Also, Flame Blast is target based, you need to have some unlucky kitten in your sights first. You’ll also notice the little ‘obstructed’ issue the skill has.

We’re still holding out for a fix, or news of a fix.

I know Flame Blast need target as well.But there are case when shooting it from a slope.The shot sometimes land on the ground before it reach explosion range.

They’ve known about it since launch. But I highly doubt it will get fixed anytime soon. Maybe next summer?
