Guild Wars 2

Anyone else getting this?

The net shot will be obstructed if you try to shoot through one of your turrets.
I have noticed that, my other attacks dont seem to care if my turret is in the way tho.

Net shot is a straight attack. If they are strafing you will probably miss them unless you’re good at leading.

Check your distance too. Plenty of players are really good at dancing in and out of range limits, and your net shot looks like it goes farther than it really does sometimes.

Also terrain like rocks that you can easy run over sometimes block the shot as well

How do you lead the net shot…? I wish I could. Also I love being OBSTRUCTED by blades of grass or watching the net shot graphic hit someone in the face and then say miss/obstructed mostly obstructed.

It appears to be traced from somewhere near your feet to the targets feet.

If terrain like a hill gets in the way, it may be flagged “obstructed”.

Its inane.

In order to lead, you have to select off the target so you can face away from him. Stop attacking him (hit escape once or twice to be sure) and you should see your target ground reticle disappear from him. Then you can face in any direction and fire your net.

The problem with this is the time it takes to do all this. You have to practice it. Be quick. If you want tips, go the the Mists and practice on the moving robots. Try hitting them at the maximum range possible with the net. This should help you out a little bit.

The net is most effective at mid-range in PvP because by the time they see it shot it’s too late for them to dodge or run to the side. At short to melee range your accuracy is practically 100% but the problem is that they have 100% accuracy on anything they throw at you as well. This means that they would probably get 2-3 melee auto attacks before you can unleash your attacks on them.

All the time. I find it happens most when im kiting and strafing away. So now i just backpeddal a little bit first, make sure the enemy is right in my eyesight, then i fire it. It looks utterly nooby but hey it works..still needs fix.
