Guild Wars 2

The Berserker Torch skill #4, Blaze Breaker, will not activate if your back is facing the targeted enemy. For comparison, Warrior Sword skill #2, Savage Leap, will automatically turn your character to face the targeted enemy and perform the skill correctly. It definitely seems like these two skills should operate the same way. From a condi perspective I think it makes more sense to be able to throw down Blaze Breaker to start getting fire ticks before jumping in with Savage Leap to start melee to get bleeding ticks going, this bug complicates that rotation. Further, if you dodge through the enemy to evade an attack then your back is likely now facing the enemy so Blaze Breaker will not activate.

Also while I’m here, the small red ‘no line of sight’ warning can be quite difficult to notice depending on the environment. This is a problem because you can just be hammering on the skill for a while thinking you are lagging before you notice the warning. I don’t really have a suggestion for how to make that more intuitive/noticeable but it is frustrating. I know there is also a red message that shows up on the combat channel of the chat box but I can’t imagine many people actually keep that enabled on their main tab since it tends to be quite spammy.
