Guild Wars 2

Since the recent SB nerf i’ve been trying various weapon builds. I’ve used the greatsword and sword before so i’m familiar with the skills but recently (since this patch came out) i’ve noticed a handful of the skills “missing” very frequently. A few i’ve noticed:

Greatsword
Swoop, says its in 1100 range, but i’ll do it within 800 and it will say “miss”
Maul, will be right up on an enemy and will register “miss”

Sword
Serpent’s Strike, 75% of the time i zig zag off into a random direction not even remotely near the enemy and strike the air, “miss”
Hornet Sting only a couple times, but i can’t be sure if it was because the enemy moved.

Aside from the last one, the other three def feel different, less effective, not reliable, whatever. Anyone else noticing this?

further testing tonight and i can confirm that these skills even the auto of the sword are way too unreliable…they are missing all over the place. Not sure what the devs did in this patch but they totally screwed up this

The Swoop issue exists even before the patch. I’ve been using GS for months and I know I’ve missed quite a bit of my Swoops.

I haven’t really figured out the problem with it, but I’ve seen it miss more often when the take-off point and the landing-point are in different elevations.

Serpent’s strike also has this problem pre-patch. It’s hard to hit any moving target with it because of the weird pathing of the animation.

man that freakin sucks…makes the sb nerf sting just a tad bit more

If you could, make a video and submit it as a bug. I’m gathering footage of Swoop missing myself.

We might just see it fixed in the next patch.
