With my finest bows and reliable pets.

Edit:

This isnt becuase you are a ranger the rat was bugged a would only take condtion damage. That is why your pet could not melee it. If you had switched to a sword you would have the same problem.

You are the best ranger I’ve ever seen.
TEACH ME, MASTER

ArenaNet should really see this. It’s just too depressing to watch… because it’s true

Duh the Rats running the Obstruction Build.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you: the Ranger.

Seriously though, this thread should be stickied and renamed ‘Watch this video before you think about rolling a Ranger’ so that nobody makes the horrible decision of rolling a class which cannot even kill a critter.

This isnt becuase you are a ranger the rat was bugged a would only take condtion damage. That is why your pet could not melee it. If you had switched to a sword you would have the same problem.

Maybe, but fact remains that we still get constant ‘OBSTRUCTED’ messages all over the place where there is no obstruction present. And that is especially annoying when attacking a buffed guild claimer (or any other target) in WvW and getting an ‘OBSTRUCTED’ on Hunter’s Shot (so no 10 Vulnerability stacks); even though it’s in the open, in LoS and within range).

I have not problem soloing supply camps with my ranger. However I have noticed that when the guild claimer is buffed you do get an obstricted message when you should be getting an invulnerable message sometimes. But I also run a condtion build so hes usually at half life after the 2 minute buff wears off.

P.s
I actually when to this spot in beeletun and there is a little bump there. Problem is the hit box of the mouse is just below the bump. However sometimes mobs are bugged and you will get this message.

I also want to add all classes have melee and range so this problem affects all classes not just rangers.

Serraphin, kindly stop pulling stuff out of your … quiver when it’s pretty obvious that there’s an issue with the longbow and shortbow.

I’m also not sure why you feel the need to tell how great your condition ranger is at soloing supply camps as it is completely irrelevant to this topic (it’s 5 minutes by the way, not 2).

Fact is that the Longbow and Shortbow shots are getting ‘OBSTRUCTED’ when they shouldn’t; and that seems to be the point the OP is trying to make.

The point of bringing up my condtion ranger was to point out that at time you get a obstructed message when target is invulnerable. While damge isnt applied but the condtion is. Also to point out its an invulneriblity buff which it sounded like he may not have know becuase it really doesnt matter if he can hit or not when he has the buff(unless the player is using conditions)

Also while attacking the same rat from the opposite side I did not get an obsturcted message.

God is in the details. Is the contact area of the arrow sprite to high or too low or is it simply to small or a combination.

Having information can greatly reduce your frustation if you know that you simply need to step to yourleft or right to overcome the problem or approach from the opposite side. It may also helping getting a fix a the real problem can be I.D rather than just saying it’s broken over and over (really how my bows are broken threads do we need with 100 people saying ya it is)

This is a known bug that anet has not fixed yet, which in truth has caused me to be sick of the game and all ranged classes in it. Im kinda getting annoyed with them since they showed such enthusiasm with gw1 and fixed things almost immediately, yet gw2 rangers cant seem to get any real fixed and the most obvious bugs stay ingame and they decide to fix/buff/add/change pve kitten and underwater crap, both unimportant factors in a pvp game.

I don’t get it, what am I missing?

Serraphin, I was talking about the fact that my Hunter’s Shot was obstructed and NOT applying its stacks of Vulnerability (which is also a condition). As such we couldn’t do 10% more damage because the game thought it funny to randomly obstruct shots so they don’t do anything; regardless if its condition or direct damage.

Or if somebody is bored, go attack a keep door and see how many times your arrows get ‘obstructed’ for no reason when you’re standing right in front of it with a clear line of fire.

Well if anet gets smart and makes it so hunters shot does actual damage then even if our vulnerability gets removed and the shot isnt obstructed it isnt a total waste of motion.
