Guild Wars 2

Hello.
I traited “Tool” tree,and used static discharge trait.
With “gadgets” , i see it works pretty fine,no trouble.

But,while i’m using elixirs and activate my belt skills(toss elixirs) i have many problems attempting to land the light discharge.

Seems it get vanished(i see the animation of the discharge,but it vanish without hit anything :S).
Anyone more experienced than me can give some tip about how to use static discharge combined with toss elixirs belt skills , and hit my enemy?

I apologize for my english,i hope it’s understandble.
Regards!

Toss elixirs are bugged in many ways. You’ve identified one of many known bugs with them.

I dunno. I think the problem is if an elixir doesn’t affect someone, then you might not get the discharge. Which is a completely BS thing, in my opinion.

yeah seems like mine just fires into the ground like FT skill 2

What happens with the elixir toss triggered static discharge (as well as the heal on the medkit and several other somewhat “passive” gadgets) is that they just project out at your current line of sight rather than at your target. Since most players have the screen angled to give them a somewhat overhead view, the discharge just goes into the ground. I have had some luck aiming the discharge into a foe while using the medkit heal, but it’s pretty tough if they are moving. Hopefully it gets fixed eventually, but there are worse bugs out there =P.

it is pretty simple:
-static discharge bounces 3 times
-static discharge is triggered at the end of each toolbelt skill
-targeted tool belt skill => the lightning bolt will hit the target.
-area of effect skill shots (like toss elixir) => it will fly towards the center of the AoE and hit anything in a straight-line path.
-non targeted skills (like bandage self) => it will fly towards the direction you’re facing and hit anything in a straight-line path but has very short range because the camera will most likely be angled to have better overview thus will hit the ground

Thx for your ansewr guys.
CptCosmic,seems by your description that the Discharge of toss elixirs works exatly like your Bandage self description!!
" it will fly towards the direction you’re facing and hit anything in a straight-line path but has very short range because the camera will most likely be angled to have better overview thus will hit the ground" this is what i’m experiencing atm.

I hope it’s a bug…cause camera angle give me many problems in game,and adjust it to make static discharge works with toss elixirs,may give me some visual problem of the area.

Ty again for your answers guys,i think i must wait somme sorta of fix for this trait.
