Guild Wars 2

Anyone else having issues with this lately, played for a few hours this morning it worked as advertised once… the rest of the time it would fire and nothing would happen except it would go into cool down.

did not work on the move at all, worked 1 time out of 4 standing still.

Am I just on a really bad streak or has anyone else noticed something similar?

Sure you weren’t blinded or something?

How close to your target were you? It’s a point blank AoE, not a targeted one.

Im a bunker build so I have to be on top of the targets, its always been kind of flaky for me just lately it seems to just not want to work.

Suppose I could have been blinded seems like a flaw if blind stops that yet bonfire still works since they are both point blank AoE…. but I haven’t paid a lot of attention to the in’s and outs of the numbers in this game so I guess I could be missing something.

This happens to me too.. Not quite sure of it though.. Are there any skills that could possibly block this?

Dunno, Ive noticed for me at least it seems to work more often when im at a stand still when I hit it.

it does miss quite often

like some already posted: it misses when you’re blinded.
Watch out for this when solo-ing camps too, since those pesky scouts blind you pretty often.

If it was reliable it would be a good skill but it’s simply fails so often it’s not worth using ever imo, half the classes or more get out of this instantly with a number of diffrent skills even NPCs seem to perfectly time blind for this as someone also pointed out, it’s like the only class that is somewhat vulnerable to this skill is other rangers funny enough…

I did some testing awhile back, found some things that I think should be fixed.
