Guild Wars 2

So uh yeah, title pretty much says it all. Just wanted to see if I’m the only one getting this or not. I thought it was fixed a couple weeks ago but now that I’m trying to use it more in place of Bull’s Charge it seems borked again if it even ever was really fixed.

I’m sure we’re all well aware of the particulars of the issue but I’ll recap: Basically, when you select target and press 5, even from outside the mobs aggro range with them standing stark still, 100% of the time I run exactly one step past them, swing and wiff it. The swing never lands. It makes physical sense I guess (if we assume my Warrior has the reaction time of a mentally challenged sloth) when the mob is also running towards you but why does my character, without fail, run right past a stationary mob by exactly one step and then take a swing which, surprise, misses completely. Basically, as the skill stands at present it does in fact close the attack but instead of guaranteeing your Warrior the first attack it does the opposite and guarantees the mob will get the first attack on you.

This may not be a huge deal, but in places like Orr where every swing counts because attacking one mob usually means you’ll end up fighting off 5 before the first is dead, the tactical failure of this skill really sticks out like a sore thumb.

Additionally Whirlwind is iffy on whether it’s going to land or not but purchased skills like Bull’s Charge are indeed pretty much a guaranteed gap closer / first shot combo. Much appreciated it you guys could work in a fix for at least ‘Rush’ if not ‘Whirlwind’ as well. I can accept that WW isn’t a guaranteed hit I guess but ‘Rush’ is clearly broken as currently it’s a 100% guaranteed whiff. That or come up with other skills maybe? As it stands I pretty much never touch 3 or 5. Would love if WW would do what it seems like it should but right now I’d sooner hit 4 from range. And if I charge currently? I always use Bull’s Charge with Rush the worthless pile of kitten it currently is.

Seems pretty simple to me to make it function similar to Bull’s Charge just remove the Knock down effect and change the impact animation. I’m no programmer so maybe I’m over simplifying but uh, really? Why is this an issue still / again (could swear I thought it worked like 2 or 3 weeks ago but I’ve been on alts and stuff so I could easily be wrong)?

The only time I use a greatsword now on my warrior is in my pure pve dungeon dps build. The skills are pretty much useless outside dungeons and leveling. I haven’t ever been beaten by another warrior in 1v1 using a greatsword. But to answer the question, yes, it’s still screwed.
