Hey all, so I was doing a small group fight (2v5) in WvW earlier and, with my reflection build, noticed something a bit off about the focus reflect for Focus #4. It seemed to not reflect even half of the projectiles that went through it.

Does anyone know why this is? Is it capped by AoE, or some internal timer?

I haven’t done much testing myself on it, but it definitely seems to not reflect things very well at all.

The reflect from Temporal Curtain is very touchy. It often won’t work it there is an incline, elevation change, or random blade of grass in the way. It works best on very flat surfaces.

need a rebalance also in PvE

Any tall boss just ignores it completely

GW2 balance:
A PvE player is supposed to avoid a 1-2 second 1 shotting aoe.
A WWW player is considered uncapable of avoiding a 5,75 second aoe for half his health.

Any high projectile just ignores it completely

unless you dont count stuff like the flame effigy to be tall? because he throws out… i dont know what the official term is… ground floaty (well… in this case actually grounded, but similar to stuff like guards thrown torch… hovers over ground… so can shoot over gaps and stuff… not that theres gaps in cof to test it… but… it seems like it… rambling) projectiles than can be reflected with temporal curtain

Yeah, temporal curtain is a short vertical reflect. It’s best used on your location not at the location of the target and even then if there is a elevation difference sometimes it can be shot over, but I don’t think it really is all that bad for a skill that can do so many different things. I still say they should give us the ability to just “place” iWarden where we want through a ground targeting option somehow.
