Guild Wars 2

Hello

I recently rolled a Warrior and whilst levelling I have a warhorn slotted in my second weapon set so I can swap to it out of combat and get from A to B quicker with the Charge ability.

Not sure if this is specific to Warrior (although I can’t remember having a similar problem with Ele’s equivalent staff ability in the Lightning stance) but whenever I use the Charge ability it targets the nearest living thing in front of me so quite often I end up clipping some yellow creature with autoattack and being slowed down again.

It is nothing game breaking, just a bit of a nuisance.

Can’t think why the ability needs to target anything to be used, nor can I think of any balancing issues by removing it with regards to PvP/WvW.

I realise I could be completely wrong. Anyone else think the targetting should be removed from it?

If you are talking about the auto-target system,
just go to game menu, uncheck the autotarget box, fixed.

Yeah, you don’t need to target anything to use Charge. Auto-target is awful and will likely end up getting you killed some day when using abilities like Rush. I’d just turn it off.

Wow do I feel silly, didn’t even realise that option existed.

Thanks for the suggestion, fixed the niggle completely and made my day

Yeah, I hated it for the longest time before I switched it off. I’d turn off the melee attack assist while you’re in there. Being able to walk through enemies is nice.

Also, turn off autoattack (Ctrl+Click) – or at least place it on Signet of Rage, FGJ!, or something not a weapon attack ability.
