Elementalist Trident Hitbox Size

Not sure if this is what you’d call a bug or more of a QL problem, but figured I’d mention it anyway.

Summary
The Trident skill 1 for the Elementalist Air/Earth attunements is so small that it is possible to miss foes at point blank, that you are targeting with your attack.

Replication
This is an unreliable occurrence. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn’t. The easiest way to replicate will be to target melee underwater foes one at a time, especially shorter foes like the Barracuda (easily found in Wayfarer Foothills and Metrica Province). I am playing a small-sized Human Elementalist, if character size/stature is at all important.

If this doesn’t get addressed, the way I escape the bug is by moving in multiple directions and turning around. A 360 degree rotation is necessary because it resets your targeting on the enemy. The XYZ movement is more than likely a placebo, but I habitually react with that movement.

Increase the size of the attack hitboxes. This shouldn’t be gamebreaking by any stretch, especially with Air 1 only hitting one foe with each projectile anyway.

This is bothering a whole lot of eles. There’s a different thread open on it as well.
