Guild Wars 2

Hey. This is my another try to make some attention to our “orb of light”.
My next idea for fixing that skill especially in pvp is just making those orbs to work like homing missiles, make it turns after moving target until it fades.
Share your thoughts plz.
Thx.

Longbow has the same problem scepter had for the last 3 years

Yeah, that video is very good example for that. What im proposing for scepter now is not making scepter projectile better than for example bow from thief or ranger, because when you chasing someone and use scepter 1 skill, your effective range will stll be something about 600 yards, but with my proposal for example thief can t just stand on 600 yard range from you , shoot on you with bow 1 and click quick left/right strafes, and what you just can see is looking at your orbs of light fly around with 45 % angle and hit absolutly nothing.

Has to do with how projectiles follow targets.

The Devs could fix the coding in that the bow doesn’t recalculate the trajectory based on the enemy’s Step A to Step B. If direction of travel is changed in .5 seconds, then the projectile sticks with the initial positioning of the target.

Make it so the numerous small moves a person can make in one spot (50 radius) does not change a character’s position. In turn, the projectile will not change its trajectory and shoot miles away from the target because it thinks the target is traveling.

That’s easier said than done.. I imagine it’s a coder’s nightmare.

Make it a channeled beam ala mesmer greatsword.

Stohp you’re making me drool.

I have actually been suggesting that simple little change for about 3 years.

As for what they could rename it to.

They could call it “Beam of Light” or “Ray of Light” or super mega beam cannon for all I care, as long as it works and cannot be avoided by dancing side to side.

Well, my idea was to change orb of light fly as fast as thiefs shortbow 1 skill arrow and change it to 900 yard range, but this idea went down very quick.
Beam sounds even better, lets keep it alive, maybe someone hear it this time

This issue is probably why they kept increasing the velocity on ranger LB. And here we are again but with the guardian
