GS Technique?
I’ve disabled the melee assist and done as many have suggested by staying inside the target but still not all or most of the hits still miss for whirling wrath. Is there a specific technique, especially for moving mobs, that is most effective? I’ve noticed its of course easier for bigger, stationary bosses so any help for anything beyond those would be appreciated.
Not sure if you have done the right way to stay INSIDE the target.
The right way is not the animation but the red circle under your and target’s foot. Make sure yours inside his, you will maximize the GS2 damage.
It’s just a case of lots of practise really
Depending on what part of the game you are playing:
if a target is moving try to get slightly ahead of it and move with it – if you chase its coat tails you will miss with most of the projectiles. Stationary mobs might have odd mesh shapes, and it can be hard to workout exactly where the centre is.
You can combine the whirl with a teleport ( start casting whirl and JI to target ) or CC to help keep the enemy in range ( GS#5 to pull, knockdowns/immobalize/wards etc ).
Sigil of Hydromancy can help for slowing an enemy and stopping them from kiting out of range too quickly.
I do stay within the red circle and not the animation. For instance on Alpha I’m right inside the middle of the circle but sometimes see the projects fly out or not contact on him and the damage indicates it too. For moving mobs I tried practicing staying in side the circles like the Effigies in Fireheart Rise but they always relocate as if being pushed aside. I’ll have to try leading them and seeing if that’ll do the trick.
