Guild Wars 2

Hey,

I was trying to recreate something I saw myself do in pvp with life blast where I shot dark path queued up a life blast ->teleported then did another life blast, the queued up LB flew over my head and hit my target at the same time as my next life blast.

During the testing I noticed something strange with staff auto range, it seems to have more than 1200yd range or life blast has less than 1200yd I’m not to sure whats going on here but here’s a video.

I do the lifeblast thing at the end.

Actually they fixed staff sadly and it went from 1470 to 1200 range, while life blast has a 1150 or 1250 if traited with unyielding (since the kitten actually starts inside your hitbox instead at the edge like most projectiles and unlike underwater one), very small difference.

Ah so the placement of the LB inside the character limits the range on life blast….lame? that small distance is a huge difference to me :\

@Attachment:

The center of the mark is exactly 1200 units away from the golem. The spot I’m standing on is the furthest I could make Necrotic Grasp hit.
I use Greater Marks with 240 radius, so I’m guesstimating the Grasp’s range at 1400.

Life Blast works at exactly 1200 range, with or without Unyielding Blast. But the starting point of the skill is actually at your finger tips instead of directly under your feet, so I could stand slightly behind the mark center to make it hit the golem.

The range reduction Andele is refering to was actually from something like 2k+ range to what it is today.

Edit: scratch what i said, its still 1270+25 base half model hitbox, with life blast being 1200 from middle model.
Also something very nice i didnt bother checking, Ngrasp actually shoots a bit above the base axis, adding free elevation range if you aint on even ground (you get to not lose range by shooting from a lower elevation).

TLDR 75~ more range on grasp than blast, 25 more on unyielding blast than normal, didnt look up plague blast (UW LB).
I really need to check this kitten more than once every 3 months.
