Guild Wars 2

This problem showed up several times in the guardian forums. I’ll place it here, perhaps someone can have a look at it.

Ty,

“FYI the damage and immobilize AoE has a range of 600 and lands behind you if you use it at max range.

This is reflected in the blue animation also landing behind you.

It’s a bug that was never fixed when they extended the range of the leap from 600-800 during beta, just disorganized skill updating methods =/

“I don’t think, that’s accurate. Tested it in HOTM on a Golem. I can hit targets with Soaring Devastation, which are 900 and more untis away (scepter autoattack can’t reach). This shouldn’t be possible, if the range was still 600 and the radius 24o.

But, and that is what i discovered, the landing mark doesn’t show exactly the damge area of the skill, the max. range of the damage is not what it is supposed to be. If your target is located 1040 units away from you, you should be able to hit it. But you can not.

If u jump further then ur target is, u can hit it even though it is located a little ouside the landing mark.

If you land beside the target, the landing circle shows up the target area correctly.

I don’t know why this happens. Perhaps the damage is dealt a tiny bit earlier than landing? I think, that could have this effect.

Ok, thats what i found out. Try it by yourself or trust me. ;-) I don’t have the tools and the time to make a video of this, perhaps anyone else can. I would appreciate this very much.
