Guild Wars 2

Forked Lightning is the underwater Lightning 1 attack. It is by far our strongest underwater attack, yet it completely misses many targets. An example is the Baracuda, which will not be hit by this attack unless you get it at the perfect angle.

This bug has also existed since launch, so please fix it.

Also, your forum search function does not work. I type in the words from the title of this thread I just created, and it gets no results.

It happens to me too. I rarely use it for long ranged attack.
Sometimes Forked Lightning just passes through the enemy even when the enemy and my character aren’t moving :/

And the forum’s search function doesn’t work for me either (Firefox).

Definitely an annoying issue. I always just assumed it was meant to be one of those perfect angle things, which is incredibly annoying when you are working with the underwater z-axis.

Even if you are in the enemies face perfectly aligned it can still miss though. As jway says, it seems to go right through them. So I agree that this needs to be looked at.

Probably my favorite auto attack to use underwater, yet it continues to be terrible.

It is totally bothering. I am also having the same problem and apparently this has been around for quite a long time. Needs a fix asap.
