Guild Wars 2

As I leveled my ranger, i’ve noticed when I use a bow, and try to fire at an enemy that just stealthed (because you can still hit them) it will fire my arrows into the ground sometimes. Anyone notice this?

yeah you have to look way up with your camera to make the arrow go straight, however the chance that you will hit your opponent is very small so its best to use barrage if your using longbow. maybe poison volley with shortbow will do to but your not likely to hit all 5 arrows.

thats because you have no enemy targetted so its shooting (roughly around) the center of your screen
- channeled skills (such as rapid fire) continue shooting at a target after detargetting them, which means that itll ‘track’ stealthed players (if you use longbow activate rapid fire just as you think they’re about to stealth)

this is why hard to use ranged weapons(axe is a nightmare) in wvw. if you want to see anything you will hit the mother earth, or watch the back of your character and nothing else (i hope you are a big, furball charr)

if you bind next target to an easily reachable key (i bound mine to mouse wheel click) it becomes much less infuriating, but becomes a bit random as to who you end up shooting in large scale battles
