Guild Wars 2

Like the titel says, is Bull’s charge bugged?

In the past 2 days i find myself charging through my target and 80% of the time landing far behind them out of melee range, this is at least not how the skill worked in the beginning.

Z-axis is broken on all leaps (not just Bull’s Charge) when going high-to-low and you’ll miss. The game uses a anticipated trajectory to your target but does not compensate for movement in a non-linear fashion.

There is basically two ways to fix this, either (1) increase the speed for all leaps/charge or (2) increase the range of the hit effect and allow the attacker to hit objects behind/below/above at the end of the movement. It might require both.

Teleport to target (Guardian-like) attacks uses the (1) option to get around the lag/trajectory issue.

You’re not the only one. This was happening to me all of yesterday. I was just flying through them and missing my combos that followed.

Bull’s charge and Rush are buggy, yes.
Kind of annoying as they are core skills.

Z-Axis sounds theory. Sounds like you are spot on!

All the charging skills, be it Rush, Bulls, 1hander leap are all very buggy.

Rush is the highest damaging single hit from Greatsword, really anoying.
And bulls is very much a core skill for both my WvW/sPvP build

Greatsword for WvW and Axe/Mace for sPvP

Further more, i think they really need to fix this, however giving the said skills teleport like the guardians skills might make them slightly overpowered!

The Z axis kills so many moves.

Skills which don’t work when there’s any Z axis difference: Bullsrush, Rush, savage leap,GS 4 and bolas.

In WvW with all the hills Rush is hilarious…you end up stopping short of your target and running in place for a few seconds and hit nothing. With bullsrush you seem to slow down and your target just keeps on moving.

Bolas….just makes me cry…

Not to talk about hammer Adrenal (F1) ability. The slightest elevation difference between you and the target makes it hit nothing but air, even though you land on their head! If in turn makes hammer useless as a weapon choice (Mass CC spamable by adrenal signet)
