Q re: Trident auto-attack
It also hits through walls, probably a bug. But we’ll never know unless it gets fixed, since ANet won’t tell us what’s working as intended in our very long ‘list-o-bugs’, even though they said they would.
I’m 95% sure its a bug. Trident is hilariously buggy.
Trident 1 doesn’t require LOS can hit on land and water as long as it is in range. So you can hide behind pillars and attack things and they cant hit you unless they swim in LOS of you.
Trident 4 doesn’t require LOS, has infinite range, and can hit people on land. Its the ultimate troll ability in Raid of the Capricorn. Sit in Ruins, hit 4 on people jumping back and forth through the boat, it hits them on land, without LOS while they’re inside the boat.
By FAR my favorite necro bug. I hope they never fix the trident to be honest. Its the only fun thing to do underwater as a necro since death shroud abilities underwater are horrendously slow.
don’t think it’s a bug, at least not a trident specific one. i killed underwater mobs several times with staff/scepter/axe.
Trident #4 is fixed. No more sinking things for lulz.
