Guild Wars 2

Does anyone else have problems with this skill going on full cooldown while for example walking and not facing the targeted enemy?

I’ve made a 3-4 seconds video showing the the easiest way to reproduce it: http://puu.sh/snoIW/c43ba64fd7.webm

I mostly have problems with this skill being totally useless while playing WvWvW because of it just doing nothing most of the time and it going full cooldown.

I would like to note that none of the other Ranger(Haven’t tested any of the Druid staff skills as I don’t want to touch a Druid ever) weapon skills have this same very problem.

It’s not the only one with similar issues, you can rapid fire without any target, a real pain, and if they go behind you it fails and goes on full cooldown too.

The Ranger is particularly badly hit in WvW because of projectile reflects, blocks and evasion introduced in HoT.

While the druid staff gains in that it doesn’t have reflect issues on auto attack it also lacks any AoE or target penetration.

Then I hate the noise the Druid staff makes.

Druid staff auto pierces.
In order to use longbow in melee, you need to stand still and let it auto aim. It works in a 270 degree area in front of you, I think, so as long as they aren’t directly behind you, you can land it.

Im more worried about them fixing the whole “somehow pop my CA form even tho I didn’t touch it nor is it set to auto” issue in WvW. Pain in my rear.
