Guild Wars 2

Frequently misses enemies as well. Sometimes this happens when I’m not even moving, I suddenly just start missing the target and have to wander around trying to get the game to recognize the object is enveloped in flames.

+1, I encounter this very frequently when using a flamethrower. For me it seems to happen the most often when I’m too close to the target, but it does vary.

This has been really bad lately. Missed, obstructed (with nothing in the way), and invulnerable (when others could attack the same target) when using my flamethrower ever since the Halloween patch. The flamethrower always had issues but it’s been much worse. If I put it away and use my guns, I have no problem.

Earlier today in wvw, a formerly invisible zerg materialized right on top of me, and I happened to be holding my flamethrower. I used my 3 skill (it did work and knocked some back), then 1 while turning on the spot to hit as many as possible, because hey, I was going to die anyway. My screen was filled up with countless “missed” and "obstructed"s, even though they were all on level ground with me and varying distances from me.
