Guild Wars 2

I thought this was just me at first but have noticed other guards, both NA and EU, suffering from the same issue. It seems that the deflecting shot (longbow #3) hitbox is at times quite wonky. It will appear to pass directly through your target or at least easily be within the 120 radius yet still not hit at all. I can tell because the target doesn’t get blinded, damaged, CCed, nor does an “Evade” or “Miss” pop up.

It’s possible that this is due to lag between enemy position on the guardian’s screen vs. theirs. Whenever I duel people and use longbow, I notice that at times when my deflecting shot passes straight through them, they don’t even try to dodge (a good duelist WOULD dodge deflecting shot or at least try to move away from it), meaning that on their screen, it’s probably nowhere near hitting them. I’ve also had onlookers corroborate this.
