Guild Wars 2

It is..

-I cast it, the person within range sees it coming, and sidesteps..
-Enemy is running away, i cast it… and the enemy OUTRUNS it.. turns around and /laughs
-I cast it on a enemy, oh look blocked!? enemy scratches head and does a /dance
-I cast it, the animation takes forever, in the meanwhile the thief i casted it on shadowstepped to me and back 3-4 times and has time to writes me an anecdote on how he is going to kill me (true story)
-I cast it, I watch the animation projectile fly out the enemy and dissolve because DS ran out and I am insta gibbed since.. ah.. you know.
-Ah an engie, i am sure i can cast it on him jump to him and fear him away from his turrets.. wrong since i need to switch targets between his turrets 30 times before i get to target him , ah finally i targetted him.. i cast, he sees the animation and runs behind his turret. i now sucessfully stepped to his turrets while the engie dodges away..

cruel a-net.. very very cruel.

sidestepping is rarely a problem for me in wvw; im sure it homes in on them (much like life blast)? or maybe i just chase down bad players *shrug*

outrunning it is annoying... it would be nice if the projectile was faster

blocked? its unblockable? i often hit through aegis, shield stance and... wow i cant remember the name... guardians block whilst healing... and teleport to them

if the projectile is thrown out it doesnt disappear if you leave deathshroud?

why do you need to switch target 30 times before you target him? o0... sounds like you got outplayed

Doesnt work against destruction fields, i think thats what he ment with blocked, also fails on invuls/evade moves ofc.

Blocking DP: I just report what i see and i saw a warrior block that attack .

Targetting 30 times is just the switch target button, i can still point click target, but what is the point of having a quicktarget that only targets pets and turrets scrolling trough targets also the targetting gets interrupted when passing behind a tree etc.

But yeah , the engie did outplay me ^^

I think there should be no projectile you should just tp to your target or 1200 range in the direction of your target instantly and it applies the AoE chill and bleeds on the other side. That or the projectile speed needs a big buff.

faster projectile speed also to staff auto which is crap

I’ve had it pass right through the Guardian Shield of Absorption, so it’s not all projectile stopping skills.

Using it on farther away targets will increase the likelihood that it fails. Using it on someone nearby is much more reliable.

Recently had a fight with a s/d thief where dark path always found him despite how much he teleported around. Very, very useful in that situation.

Ye i used it on a thief just b4 and i teleported down some stairs weirdly enough only to see the thief just come out of stealth under the stair case. It’s extremely unreliable and clunky but it has it’s place.

Pretty sure that there is a spilit in anti-projectile shields, some being based off reflects (and if traited turn into them), some off block skills and some off actual removal of projectiles from the trajectory. Example a mesmers echo will absorb pretty much everything post the initial hit and it can even copy thrown elixirs, epidemic, cb, most of the different lightning attacks from eles, some guardian meditations, etc, but more than half of those dont get stopped by stuff like smoke screen or wall of reflection.
