Guild Wars 2

So, I just spec’d S/P for the first time in a long time, And Inf Strike is basically my major attack skill. Its just about the only way to get a few swings in without your opponent slipping away, or getting eaten alive by AoE’s.

So, now that I’m using inf strike very frequently, I’ve noticed at times, it doesnt fire correctly – I spend the 3 init, but my return circle appears below my feet, and I don’t teleport to my target. By “at times” i mean, on average, once per game. I’ve also tested and replicated it on dummies in the mist, but I can’t identify any sort of consistent situation or trigger that causes it to happen.

I’m inclined to believe its just another ANet kittenup, but in the interest of fairness, is there anything I’m doing that could be causing it?

Try assuring you have a target lock when using it. (the work around) think the auto targeting is messing up sometimes and acting like theres no target to charge too.

Edit: Re-reading your reply, maybe I misunderstood you – I’ve always had a target selected when it failed. Is that what you’re referring to?

I can confirm this. Sometimes “shadow return” does not exist, so whole “Infiltrator’s Strike” works like shadow-step. It happens quite often lately. Last night it didn’t work around 30% of a time.

Thank you, im glad im not the only one having this problem. Before the patch for new maps and fractals, Iinfil Strike worked perfectly but eversince it’s been so buggy sometimes.

I don’t know if its possible cause, but I have impression that this is happening mostly after using flanking strike.
I will pay attention to it next time i play.

This is caused by the bad update time from the range indicator.

The strike is appearing at your feet because your current target is out of range.

Infiltrator strike is affected by the bug of portal of mesmers, we need a patch.

I must disagree. Distance between Infiltrator’s strike port circles were less than HS range in many cases yet it still behaved like shadow-step.

And this is occurring with different classes as-well.
