Guild Wars 2

So the bug is that your character will gain the opening strike buff, you attack and lose the buff, the enemy does not gain any stacks of vulnerability. I have tried this opening on enemys with skills, with autoattack, and still nothing. I use a shortbow if it makes a difference.

This is just plain disappointing, it seems to be a pretty big bug and it’s the perk that marksman trait is centered around.

yeah it’s frustrating me too, I posit that there is a “opening strike range” since I more consistently apply the condition when I am close to the target
