Before the AoE of the mortar kit was able to damage people on walls like other AoE’s can. However it seems now this isn’t possible.

Sometimes the projectiles themselves seem to pass into the wall and don’t leave any combo fields on the wall or anything.

A few walls seem to work fine and normal, but nearly all of them where you would usually use these skills on(Above gates, next to cannons or NPCs) seem to not be working properly. Other classes can still do it, like Ele’s AoE’s or Necro wells, but the mortar kit seems unable to do this.

Also sometimes while fighting a keep/tower lord as it bugs out of the lords room, it will not take damage from the mortar at all, even though I’m firing onto the top of the surface where it is standing. Also sometimes, odd small amounts of damage(40 instead of the usual 100-ish) will be proccing off inside the walls on multiple things.

I can confirm this.
Granades also don’t seem to work. My guess is, the walls are targets for the ground-targeting system, but don’t act as solid objects for impacts.

I can also use my rifle to hit objects THROUGH a wall, e.g. arrow carts or players, when I can’t hit the wall with mortar or granades.
Canons and oil are almost unreachable for engineers like this. Only Rifle-1 and a few other abilities with single-targeting still seem to hit them.

Another effect of this bug is: I was aiming at a canon with granades, they went through and hit the wall, and vampire effect. In the combat log ONLY the vampire effect with target “unknown” was listed, not the granade-hits.
