Guild Wars 2

So as some of us have no doubt experienced, the Entangle elite skill sometimes fails. I’d like to see if we can figure out why – some set of circumstances or conditions common to these failures that we can identify and report towards hopefully getting the issue addressed, assuming there is one.

I experienced such a failure an hour or so ago, and happened to be recording – you can find the video here. Skill goes off and on recast time, minus any root effect or bleeding from Entangle.

Things of note going on in this case that I can think of are the number of mobiles in the activation radius, the nature of the mobiles (supply camp NPCs and Quaggans only, no players) and my movement characteristics. If we can find something reproducable that would help in getting this fixed.

Please post your own or describe things that you’ve experience that may be behind this bug. Thanks for any and all info and input!

Actually, on watching this again in slow motion, I can see that the Entangle simply seems to miss…I wasn’t aware this was possible, seems kind of absurd to have an Elite miss every mob nearby. Is this intentional or a bug?

You got blinded by the NPC’s. When you solo a supply camp you have to wait until the 2 scouts use the blind spell. After you remove the blind (by trying to hit someone) you can safely use your entangle.

Ah, of course! Brilliant, thank-you!
