Guild Wars 2

I skilled into Grenadier and it seems Grenade Barrage is unaffected by it in terms of range.
When ever I try to throw Grenade Barrage to max range after throwing other grenades to that exact point, it says ‘out of range’ and I have to move the mouse closer to me.

Can someone confirm this?
Is this working as intended?

Thanks.

Working as intended.

Thanks Pokey.
Could I have an official source for this please?

No tool belt skill is effected by traits that only modify kit abilities, because tool belt skills are their own ability class.

Please notice it specifies “kit skill” right in the trait description.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.
