Guild Wars 2

On the wiki it states:

If you use a skill that doesn’t target, like Incendiary Ammo, or an area of effect skill – including an elixir or skill that doesn’t normally deal damage, the bolt will go in the direction you’re facing and will hit if there’s an enemy in its path.

Why can’t it just go to my target? Why does it always have to be this complicated for engineers? Has Anet ever addressed this?

I don’t think they’ve ever said anything about it.

There are many issues with static discharge like the bolt animation canceling your skills if you use them at a specific frame.

Ohh boy… all the time I’m searching for new builds and all I find is odd behaviours and bugs. I wish they would fix us instead of giving us anything new.
