Guild Wars 2

When I shoot arrows at graveling burrows (like in path 1), it usually says “Obstructed”, even if I’m right next to the burrow with nothing in the way.

Have you seen this, too? Do you usually use different weapons in this other than longbow/Shortbow?

It is was like this always. I’m using GS to destroy them, or summoned by ele ice bow. There are specific spots from where you can dmg burrows, but it’s not worth it to search for them.

First burrow: Barrage
Second burrow: I am using sword – axe combo + QZ and skill nr5.
Reapeat.

BTW its a joke that this bug is known since the release day and you still can’t hit the burrows with shortbow. :/ and longbow (except Barrage)

That is why I Kite the middle to keep knucklehead alive most of the time. But that changes when we mix the party up. With 2 eles, I will grab an ice bow.

Knowing there is a bug doesnt mean they have worked out what is causing it. It is also not adviseable to use a bow in genral against the borrows since it is a mostly single target weapon (excluding the ice bow from the ele).

1h sword is your best bet as it hits faster and multiple targets and it has higher dps than any other ranger weapon.

the ele ice bow #2 also has the same issue, as i believe they are coded the same way as a “normal” bow.

just my guess though :P

It happens on my thief with his pistols as well so its not just bows. Why would you waste attack on the ice bow with skill 2. You and the ele can alternate (He/she does the first burrow you do the second) with the aoe skill.

You will have the bow pretty much the whole time and will finish well before the collectors finsh collecting.

And burrows aren’t a single target? Are you saying you normally hit two (or three) burrows at the same time with a your AoE attacks?

The reason why AoE attacks sometimes work better is the bug that makes a lot of single-target attacks miss. If that bug is fixed, single-target attacks will work correctly (same as against any mob – which is also a single target, like the burrow).

I’m just going to let you know that a lot of “Objects” (like burrows trebs etc) have really really bad auto targeting options, but once you turn off the auto target and just shoot at the burrow it hits.

IE: You aim the arrows yourself towards the burrows it’ll hit, but if you target the burrow and shoot it wont hit.

It’s annoying, but it’s a way around the problem.
