Guild Wars 2

Just as the title says. It seems, for the sword or staff, the auto attacks seem hard to land. Feels like I am losing a lot of dps due to these weird hit boxes/range numbers, not sure what it is though(rougher in pvp). Anyone else have any input on this?

It’s usually fine for me. I sometimes fall out of range but we have quite a few gap closers that should make up for it. Even Forced Engagement can be useful for this, believe it or not.

Sword is okay for me, but yes I agree with you on staff. I find it pretty hard to land staff auto’s too.

This is most likely a l2p issue, but I feel the same way. It is either very strict in registering the hits or the attacks have a very small “range”, which is rather strange, because I can better “randomly cleave” e.g. on my thief with a dagger than on a revenant with a staff.

Definitely a cleave issue, I’ve noticed it too. Had a few players directly in front of me or slightly off to the side and no hits would register, mostly on staff. Sword is usually pretty reliable but it does happen occasionally

I had a few issues myself. Mostly with the first stab attack

Yah compared to me thief I felt like I wasn’t landing any autos.
