Guild Wars 2

Recently in the Holiday event in Black Citadel I noticed I was only hitting 3 mobs, either that or the numbers were stacking. So i was wondering what the max # of targets there is for the mellee weapons, anyone know?

Almost all of our melee skills are 3. Only skills purposefully listing AoE tend to be 5, 3rd hit in the hammer chain is 5 however.

Well that sucks, should be able to cut my way through what ever is in front of me. Not just 3. v_v
