Guild Wars 2

Hi there!
I’ve had this problem with Bull’s Charge,Rush and Dash, basically.
Bull’s Charge and Dash (Rampage) are usually passing through the target. And the worse , sometimes it doesnt even hit it.I tested on a NPC.He was STANDING STILL and i used Bull’s Charge on him and it simply DIDNT HIT him.My char passed through it, didnt knock it down,didnt do any damage.
It also happens with Rush.My char runs towards the enemy,and performs a fail blow,hitting the air, although my target hadnt dodged.

> Does anyone know what is that?

BONUS : Is it normal that Earthshaker misses the target if you are on a bit superior ground than your enemy?

It’s a known bug. Anet doesn’t care Lmao. This happens more often at high ping. Earthshaker is also another issue, the range is often projected further than it really is; meaning the animation happens and you travel the distance but no damage or stun is dealt. This happens on even ground, and high ground makes it worse.

Warrior bugs are not priority. It does not bring ANet money so it is fine where it is. Roll a elementalist or engineer instead for some support and super buffing.

It’s a hard coded bug that Anet can’t easily fix.

It’s due to the combat mechanics of the game. It works differently from a charge skill in a game like World of Warcraft, which the server registers every move before activation is completed. So if Server say its ok, the skill is use will activate full effect regardless of position of the character.

In GW2 since its action based, all actions have to be checked server side individually, so that means your rush skill is checked on the dash part, then the attack part separately, and both may not be seen as positive returns. Hence, you go through a target and the attack part fails, although both parts are from the same skill.

This is hard coded into the game.
