Guild Wars 2

Hi guys, I just switched to staff from septer/shield, and a reason I hadn’t really made that transition before is because orb of light will always go into the ground. What I mean by that, is the skill will go on the 3 second cooldown because it failed. I was wondering if this was happening because I’m Asura

Possibly, the same thing happens to my Asura Guardian when i am using the scepter. Mostly when i am not hitting a mob/npc. When i am actually hitting a npc it travels in a path as if it will hit. Line of sight has been a problem with the guardian range weapon. Especially with regard to vertical axis.

The idea is good, but in practice its ridic trying to make it work

on my norn, when I don’t have a target the orb will fail too.

It’s not just for Asura, but for all professions (using Projectiles) of all races. The “manual” targeting of these attacks are tied to your camera view. So if you’re looking at your character in the typical 3rd person view, i.e. slightly above the head looking down, then that’s the path your Orb of Light will travel. If you pan your camera all the way down such that it’s centered on the back of your character, then the Orb will travel parallel to the ground.

Yes, it’s ridiculous.

Ridiculous until they give us a FPS option..
