Guild Wars 2

I use swoop. I see the distance is less than 1100.
It bug?? or not

let me get my measuring tape

The actual range is about 600 range. You can test the distance with the 2nd chain of the sword #2 skill(hornet sting). The range for the 2nd chain for that skill is 600 range.

However, not even hornet sting has the correct range, the range for that skill is 1200 range (when you do the full chain).

You can test and compare hornet sting with #3 skill for staff and you will find that both of those skills go the same distance.

p.s Sorry if the wording is confusing

Swoop can change based on terrain as well I think. I believe it has to do with the leap portion at the end. Though im not precisely certain on what affects it.

I just notice that the behavior depends on outside factors including what your targeting and what your running over/off of.

Can anyone explain why the leap isn’t just one easy long swoop? IE- why does it do that stupid crap at the end?

The mechanics have changed in important ways. It used to be 2 leaps (instead of one move and one leap), and it the evade portion has been moved. I don’t know if it’s related but it got nerfed when the engi triple leap came out on hammer.

Evade got added during the actual attack animation.
