Guild Wars 2

The radius is not increased in the tooltip. Does anyone know how to test this at all? Any ideas would be helpful.

The radius text goes blue indicating an increase from the trait, but still reads the same radius as before the trait was slotted – noticed this last night.

I suppose you could test it with a partner in an empty spvp map. Difficult to tell just by looking at the animation, since I don’t think that changes.

Test it at the dummies in lions arch

But how can I tell if the radius increased? The main problem in testing this skill is that the mines are thrown in random directions. It’s hard to make it fall in the same position to test distances. I’m trying to run some tests but I’m still not sure.

Untimely: Yep. The text goes blue indicating it was changed but the new value is equal to the old one. That’s the reason I made this post.

stay as far away as you can from one puppet. then “spam” the skill until one lands approximately directly between you and the puppet. if it hits go a step back until one won’t. then trait the skill for more radius. try again until it “hits”. if it does the radius has been increased.

Or maybe try it at queensdale where the champion troll appears. there are some spider eggs in the next room wich spawn tons of spiders. throw the mines traited and untraited and check some difference. Or try it with all those caterpillars :o dunno maybe not my best idea.

if i’m home i’m gonna try it too. it’s a toolbelt skill right?

Posted a few Mine bugs in the bugs section and the devs acknowledged them.
