Guild Wars 2

Discussing grenades got them nerfed, and, since they were about my only offensive option other than bomb kit, I had an idea. Since Flamethrower has some trouble (ok, a lot) and no coming fixes have been mentioned, we can fill a thread with pictures of it missing stuff (like melee range targets, stationary objects, etc…) and maybe it’ll actually get some love.

If you’re really feeling helpful and have a computer that can handle recording, you could even post videos of mobs one-shotting turrets, and maybe they’ll get some needed fixes too. Hell, any sort of media showing the many parts of our profession that don’t work as well as they should, if at all (like stowing medkit…), would be appreciated.

I know we’ve got a bug thread, but it just doesn’t seem to be working. I’d open with a few pictures myself, but I haven’t taken any screenshots and I’ve got to leave.

Good idea but i doubt it will get fixed in a hurry tbh, most professions have had somethings wrong with them for months (if not from beta) and they rarely seem to fix them.

that may be truth but iz a shame that a weapon’s auto-skill1 doesn’t work properly, and even if it worked it’d do puppy damage

I’ll do this on my next day off (or sooner). I’ll even trait Turrets again, before going to find a Risen Knight to one-shot all of them.

Edit: Have acquired video capture software, will travel probably do this in a little while.

Edit edit: Or I would have, except I can’t find Risen Knights, for some reason.

Flamethrower and every effect like it (i.e. Guardian and Elementalist abilities) always hit when used in a certain way. You have to be either approaching a target directly forward or backward, or stand still and let auto-aim handle it. Turning is troublesome; try ‘leading’ your target with the fire slightly ahead.

Besides turning, only issue I have is sometimes missing objects if I’m standing at a weird angle.
