Guild Wars 2

With the new camera mode, Druid Staff 1 (Solar Beam), REALLY needs to fire a beam without having a target selected.

Like, REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDS it.

Yes, it absolutely does. +1

Edit: That would also solve a lot of the Ranger/Druids lack of AoE damage for PvE also, since you could just ‘wave’ the beam around to tag things.

I think the cooldown on CAF was introduced so this wouldn’t get abused…

What has CAF CD got to do with AoE damage? They put the CD there to stop abuse of Druidic Clarity and Celestial Shadow.

What do you think would happen with an untargeted beam that would heal and damage everything in the way while wielding it ferociously in a group of mobs and allies? You’d generate enough ressources for CAF in a second… Instant CAF so to say.

I don’t think a beam will generate without a target lock or soft targeting with action camera. Just like spatial surge requires a target to shoot a beam.

the action camera may seem new but from my perspective all it did was add a pip and lock the camera to that pip. Well obviously its better then just that but ya here is old 5min of me pewpewing without targeting and no UI.

But the staff does not work like that, as yet, that’s what is being asked for.

Well, if barns ever become lethal adversaries, we can try that. We are bound to hit their broad sides, every once in a while.

And that is why I said, it might be possible to implement, and maybe it is even the plan. With a cooldown on CAF, it doesn’t really matter how fast to generate AF.

Sorry, I should have explained it a bit better.

Well if they put enough dino pets in them, they very well could be!
