Guild Wars 2

This is the Necro’s signature Death Shroud auto-attack skill that still (since the beginning of time!) just never hits the target.

You can stand point blank to a boss like Champion Svanir Shaman or Admiral Taidha Covington with each attack of the skill never connecting, never doing any damage. Yes. I do use Unyielding Blast for the pierce effect also.

Please, this really needs fixing! It’s also infinitely repeatable. To have a skill that for all intensive purposes look like it is working but it does absolutely nothing is very frustrating.

I know Champs have a lot more armor and health than normal enemies and their stats can scale with the human players, making it look like you did nothing at all. Are you sure it is doing nothing at all?

Yep it’s clear as day. If you position yourself perfectly you can still get an occasional hit (with significant damage). Any movement though and it will just miss everything again. It seems to happen if you are on an exactly flat plane at exactly the same height as the boss perhaps.

Note, it doesn’t say ‘Miss’ (ie: I’m not blinded) and it doesn’t say ‘0 damage’, it just outright doesn’t connect with the boss.

Yeah, this is really irritating. You can be in full view of your target, and Life Blasts will go off, but nothing happens. You can look at your combat log, and it doesn’t appear there either, so it’s not a case of the numbers just not showing up. Usually if you’re trying to shoot from an angle where it can’t hit the boss, you’ll see “obstructed”, but it does not happen in this case. It’s simply not doing anything when it hits.

It happens way too often. There are some champs that bug this every single time, no matter where they are or where you move, while others will start getting hit if you move into a specific spot. Of course, the time you spend trying to find that spot is Life Force/damage wasted. It’s pretty sad.

Post-Patch this is still present.

It’s SOO depressing, when you create a build around sustaining Death Shroud and it ends up complete garbage because you can’t use a primary mechanic of your class due to a stupid bug!

The combat log makes it more prevalent than ever. Sit there attacking aaand.. nope, nothing logged either.
