Guild Wars 2

I’m not sure why Anet hasn’t fixed this but I’m tired of it. When i use my sword(my main) to destroy siege equipment my first 2 attacks land but my 3rd attack the sword cone that hits x3 does not land. The sword skill goes right through doing no damage and my character will do the animation about 3 times before starting my combo over. So to destroy siege my sword is not effective. I’m just wondering why nobody has brought this up? And how Anet cannot see this…I’ve noticed this since the beginning but i figured it would be fixed. Now that i have started to main sword again I’m surprised it has not been resolved. Any other Guardians having issues with this? i hope its not only me.

Yeah, it’s been like that since beta. Whack it with your alternate weapon.

Huh, that is odd, I thought they fixed this a while back, I will have to test again to see if it came back.

Back from the Jan 28th game update:

Sword Wave: This skill is now able to strike gadgets that are low to the ground.

Odd fact, you can purposefully turn away from your target and cause the sword wave attack to strike the target at least 2 or 3 times in a row before it starts the chain attack over. I’m sure this needs to be fixed but no one else noticed it last time I posted.

There are so many z-axis targetting issues it’s not even funny. Sword Wave isn’t the only one, Staff auto has issues too, particularly hitting things below the character. Greatsword leap still flings you into the air and drops you down instead of sending you directly at a lower target,

Which is funny because after watching a ranger’s swoop, which should work pretty much exactly the same, they dont have a z-axis issue and it drops you down. Only thing nice about it not working correctly is shooting long gaps with the GS leap.
