Guild Wars 2

Is this a joke?

Well since they’ve never bothered to fix this issue with the scepter, I’d say it’s “functioning as intended.” >.>

Wait…. Really?.. So we’re just going to have to deal with this? Every enemy that faces a longbow guardian has to only strafe left and right in order to completely screw them over?

I would say it’s worse than Scepter except it’s not. LB has better skill sets (#5) than Scepter (#3).

That’s not to say this shouldn’t happen… it’s about time projectiles in this game (the coding) gets changed or LB#1 auto gets a range dmg increase to make up for its auto being easily avoidable.

Karl addressed this last night, they’re in the process of developing more crucial changes for DH:

Karl McLain.5604:

Puncture Shot: Arrow velocity is slow! We’re looking at increasing it so that it’s less strafe-able. What we’ve got it at is ~66% increase, putting it at around Hip Shot (engineer rifle) velocity. We’re also looking at the base and bounce functionality.

You can find it in the “Dh Changes for Next BWE” thread – it’s stickied. So with that +66% velocity increase, it shouldn’t be strafe-able. It could be strafe-able, but it would have to be at max range, and with the utmost precise stafing.

I hadn’t noticed that update to the thread, thanks for sharing. I hope that we see a similar fix to Scepter before too long.

And rightly so … it’s the WORK they do you can criticize, not the people doing it.

Well don’t straight up insult the person >.>…

They’ve fixed it now for next BWE so shhhhhhh….

They increased the projectile speed by 66%, making it fast like the engi rifle projectiles.
Then Shhhhhhh

They’ve never fixed the scepter, don’t make the same thing happen for the LB please, let them fix it like they said!

I guess you never used Sword. The last hit of the AA, often miss and its MELEE!!! Even if your target doesn’t dodge and is in front of you. Also, the torch #4 (throw) often gets obstructed and if it goes in the DIRECTLY in the targets direction (same problem with Focus #4 of Necro). These skills have pathing and terrain problems/bugs I believe.

I hope they fix it in the xpac.
