Guild Wars 2

So I just came from WvW, where I chased one mesmer across quite literally half of the eternal battlegrounds (width-wise, anyway). While he did eventually die, it was incredibly annoying because on top of his normal abilities (stealth, clones, some sort of teleport) he was completely untouchable by my warrior’s ’bull’s charge’ ability. Not to say that he had permanent stability (I don’t know, he might have) but the charge would go right through him without so much as dealing its little bit of damage, or saying miss/blocked/whatever. No notification whatsoever. One other strange thing I noticed was that throwing an axe at him sometimes gave ‘obstructed’ on open ground.

He wasn’t an especially smart player, didn’t dodge at all during the charge or any of my attacks come to think of it, and rarely even bothered to change direction when he stealthed. The whole time he was more or less making a beeline for safety, so lining up the charges was absurdly easy. I know I hadn’t been blinded, and I did have him targeted even though it would take a while after stealth wore off for him to become targetable (he’d load, then a few seconds later I could select him).

Is there some kind of ability that would account for this? Or is it more likely a bug with bull’s charge or related to the current stealth bug? I can’t even think of a time I’ve had this happen with a thief.

Do warriors ever just use bull’s charge through you with nothing happening?

My best guess would be that some sort of lag would be a factor.

For example, a couple weeks ago WvW was acting a bit laggy for a bit of time. A party of my guildies and myself were raiding supply camps/dolyaks, and there was one dolyak that acted exactly how you are describing that Mesmer. Fortunately for us, my Illusions knew where the real dolyak was, and the hitbox for the dolyak was probably about 2000 range units further ahead of the graphic of the dolyak. We then proceeded to swing wildly at where my Illusions where attacking and then killed the dolyak.

That happened a total of one time.

Perhaps there was maintenance going on at the time, and that Mesmer’s hitbox and graphic were in different places.
