Guild Wars 2

Are you sure the range of the boms area smaller now is a bug ? I would not bet. it is a melee weapon so it has a meaning that it works at melee distance. I did not use it becouse for pvp i found toolkit much better and having toolkit and bombs in the same builds let me out of range weapon .

The animation does not match up with the effect or the tooltips, so obviously something is bugged here. As far as I know, we haven’t heard back from the devs on whether the correct radius is supposed to be 240 or 180. If it is in fact supposed to be 180 though, the kit is pretty much dead for PvP due to how easy it is to stay out of range.

Bombs always had 180, with a trait 240. They said this trait becomes baseline but so far only the animation became baseline :P We have a 240 animation, but 180 true radius. Definitly a bug and will be fixed in … well probably with heart of thorns in august … 2016 …

Well there’s been plenty of discussion about it and no devs not even Josh have stepped in to clarify it.

Some clerification on what is and is not bugs would be nice, but I’m sure they prioritize working on what is bugged and see no value in explaining it to us. It is kinda sad that the only value they get form explaining things to us is that we stop giving them a headace.
