Guild Wars 2

My longbow range is 1500 and it seems when I am at the very end of this range I have to spam number 1 in order to keep attacking. When I move closer the auto attack kicks in. This is very annoying and it seems to mostly happen when I am far away, yet still within range. It also happens at other seemingly random times. I have noticed it happens with the short bow as well. Has anyone else noticed this?

And also while I am creating a thread I may as well ask about another issue I have. When I equip any dagger, the first 3 skills are completely grayed out rendering the weapon useless. I can see skills 4 and 5 but they are darkened and I am unable to use them. Does anyone know why this is?

Yes, it’s very annoying. It’s been this way for as long as I can remember. I think, someone correct me if I’m wrong, it kicks in when you go over the 1000 range. There’s some kind of dead zone in the higher ranges.

The dagger is an off-hand only weapon for Ranger. It only has skills 4 and 5. You have to equip a sword or axe in your main hand while the dagger is in the offhand to get those to appear.

normal range is 1200 i think above that u need to spam buttons because the skill shows that you are out of range while the real range is 1500 because of the trait

not rly sure but needs to be fixed

Yes the range issues has been a problem since the Betas.

It seems to work properly up to the 1200 range (the default range of the bow). It doesn’t seem to pick up the increased range when traited to 1500.

I noticed this as well…I figured I was teetering at max range.

Great, so it’s another bug….

Get this fixed! I’ve just wanted to roll a proper longbow ranger since release

Edit: did some test and it works but seems like it is some kind of bug or something

Either the autoattack is buged (or the range) or you can simply hit target even from range over 1500, just not with autoatttack.

Eagle eye is working fine, the autoattack triggers with eagle eye in range where the autoattack without eagle eye won’t trigger.

is there any way to find out how far away you are from a target?

in DAoC I would usually set a ground target at max distance so I knew anyone that came past it would be in my range
