Guild Wars 2

Am I the only one experiencing sporadic behavior with this weapon skill? From time to time (actually quite often now), my character will not jump back after firing the shot. I will still get the evasion but I will be right there face to face with my enemy and therefore forced to dodge. It is getting to be quite annoying.

Additionally, I could swear sometimes it registers the click more than once and I will fire off two shots instead of one therefore expending twice the initiative and often putting myself out of range with the shortbow.

I would have thought this would be a known issue as it happens so frequently for me, but a search returned no results. If not then I will certainly submit a bug report this evening when I get home.

It’s in the Bugs thread already for 9months now;

Ah thanks. Odd that a search for “disabling shot” returns 0 results.

I think that has more to do like you were stun locked into place when you were using it and due to lag you couldn’t see it. That’s why you see the evade on the screen…

I’m not really sure it’s a bug though

I have it happen all the dang time. It’s really frustrating, and it seems to be unrelated to immobilize and more related to being queued during a stun or a knockback.

Thats been happening all the time since launch, it is not related to any form of CC you can get it to happen when not even in combakittens getting stuck on terrain, just like withdraw and roll for ini do (though for some reason not as often) and like shadowsteps do

I thought it might be related to terrain interference, but it happens on flat ground and even if your back is pointing downhill.

Generally more reliable to use it right after a bacwards roll. That just about guarantees it will actually work.

The bug is that we can’t even jump back over a tiny pebble or a tiny bump on the ground. I can understand walls and slopes, but pebbles and bumps?

Why are we even colliding with those?

Is it? Well could be a combination of factors in play here.

So basically what your saying is that in order to use a weapon skill designed to be an extra evade and save endurance, you have to dodge back first and waste endurance so that the skill works correctly?

Isn’t “a pebble” and “a bump” that factor that causes the bug? O.o?

What other factor are you talking about? In fact, a pebble or a bump shouldn’t even be a factor.

Remember that enemies are obstacles and can block your path even on evades.
