what is your race

(i actually have a very strong feeling about the results of this, but needs the data)

no

char
-male
-average

YES to excessive obstructions on flame blasts.

Sometimes annoyed by missing of flame jet, but nowhere near the level of irritation caused by flame blast.

Sylvari, Male, Smallest height and build.

Yes, usually happens immediately after an airblast or dodge-roll. It’s common, but since it’s predictable I can generally avoid the problem. Still annoying though.

Yes, usually when mouse-aiming or strafing around a target.

Male Charr, mid-height IIRC

Yeah lots.

Male Human- Mid height.

yes to both

Charr, largest size

the missing rate is not that bad compared to previous time, if they won’t increase the range too 500 that would be awesome. Flame blast is so crap that i felt i that i lost tongs of dps

Yes and yes. I can be standing still in front of an unmoving object (like the Grawl totems) not being attacked and I’ll be missing it with the flame jet.

Norn female, think the height was on the lower side.

Yes to excessively obstructed flame blasts, and even rifle sometimes depending on terrain (adamantium grass around blossoms in TA, I’m looking at you!).
Yes to bad pathing routine on flame blast.

Excessive missing of flame jet I’m torn on.
I have learnt to turn and navigate so that I can land all or almost all of it most of the time, and at this point I always unfailingly land the last couple ticks, at least I get the burn.
I like how that feels engaging and has some skill requirements (artificially and delusionally so:) ).
BUT, it requires I often turn too much and means I have to backpedal, greatly reducing kiting effectiveness. As someone who used to play ESF movement with no backpedalling or turning (pure forward + strafe) in competitive pvp before, the illusion of skill requirements of above is completely negated by having to move like a noob for close to 100% uptime.

Better pathing + detonate blast, and a slightly wider cone that is 100% camera dependent for jet, and I would have literally NO issues with FT, a kit I love.

Few metres more range on jet so it’s on par with blast would be welcome, or a slight up in damage at the current range, would be nice, but lack thereof is not something that takes me out of the flow as much as blasts bugging out half the times or having to backpedal a couple steps.

Yes to both.

Human, somewhat short.

I just want to know why Flame Jet constantly misses stationary objects.

will test tonight

asura small

yes, male, charr. excessive missing and no im not out of range!!! and refering to #1 auto attack
