Guild Wars 2

I do Tarir meta on a regular basis, and I always find that the hitbox of the Octovine really a hit or miss. Half the time, I get obstructed by nothing and waste the cooldown on my phantasm skills, making it a little hard to pull off quadruple well of action during burns. Is there a sure fire way to be able to summon my illusions?

if your attack is a beam, i.e. mesmer gs, it happens more often.
