Guild Wars 2

Anyone find it annoying when activating this signet on a boss, elite, or whomever and it says “out of range” only to wait the cd time to activate it again. It’s pretty frustrating to say the least.

Is there a way in options or something to prevent this from happening?

Stop using it from out of range?

I know, ill try to move out of the 1202 range and back within 1200. hehe

Guess this doesn’t bother you waiting the full cd?

Go into a PvE zone anywhere, target an enemy, and walk in and out of range. When you’re out of range, the skill icon will have a red bar underneath it. If that is the case, you will whiff the application and it will go on full cooldown.

Use the red bar. Never whiff again.

Pretty sure this is a sarcasm, so…
It is indeed kinda annoying, since most target utilities don’t go full cd if they’re out of range, so i guess it’s a bug. Or not? CMIIW

No, I truly didn’t know there was a red bar beneath the spells…… it is soooooo small.

Is that really what the red bar is for? Wow. I had noticed it, but could never tell what it meant. This is great information! Does this also apply for obstructed LoS?

I believe so, but I’m not Completely sure.

Nope, thats just a range indicator.

It’s a feature! Think of it as something that gives the profession character, like Jagged Horror.
