Guild Wars 2

I dont know, but i saw strange thing with Greatsword.
When I attack with Spatial Surge [ 1 ], from 1200range (I hope, coz when I take one step back I’m out of range) I deal damage. But when I attack with Mirror Blade [ 2 ] i get information “Out of Range”. The same its with [ 3 ] and [ 4 ] skill.

Now i dont know. ¹ is bugged and the distance is too long, or other skills have to short distance :P.

i cant say i have experienced this but i have not logged in since the maintenance patch i don’t think (downloade done last night?)

the only thing i know about S#1 was covered in the latest podcast, if you stand under a siege weapon while attacking a gate you’ll blow it up, basically.

It’s #1, because it’s a beam AoE it extends outwards very slightly in all directions, this allows it to hit slightly out of it’s max range.

Look for the red bar under your skills, don’t use Mirror Blade, etc. if its there.

This happens with most “long projectile” skills.

For example if you take a Thief and start shooting a target with your pistol until you’re out of range and then switch to shortbow (same 900 range) you will hit it even if your pistol didn’t.

Basically proyectiles with a long tip/shape will hit some units over their real range. I don’t have a Mesmer (I’m waiting for my future Largos Mesmer :P), but probably as it’s a beam it gets the same “treatment” and hits over its real range.

@lokheit, just out of curiosity and not insulting or attacking, why are you here then? spying?

Don’t worry I’m not taking it as an attack The reason is basically this:

What I said of my Largos Mesmer… I know it’s still a long time until expansions (and probably my Tengu Engineer comes in a sooner expansion, so even more time for Largos) but I like to theorycraft what will I do with him and solve some doubts I have with professions (for example I was thinking about starting a thread to ask mesmers’s opinion in your elite Mass Invisibility as from my standpoint as a main Thief I think it’s too dependant on a teamspeaker to be an elite slot but maybe I’m missing something).

Aditionally sometimes I just lurk around some other profession forums even if I’m not currently playing them just to check the state of the game and how each player base see their own profession and what I could expect when I play with those professions either as allies or as opponents.

I like to have all the facts and be 100% objective about the game before making claims and asking for buffs/nerfs so sometimes when I’m a bit bored I investigate a bit in every profession forum to see if I find something interesting.

I saw this thread about a bug that I’ve seen before with my shortbow and pistol as I said so I answered :P

Oh my goodness! Someone who objectively investigates, ponders results and respectfully answers/posts! To paraphrase an old quote, “What is a decent guy like you doing in the forums?” Get out while you still can!

Just kidding, but it is refreshing not seeing someone take immediate offense and lighting a flame thrower.

Thanks for the explaination. I have noticed a similar effect when the target moves back while I was attacking with GS #1 and I still hit them but they were out of range for the other skills.
