Guild Wars 2

I’ve recently noticed that even though my Guardian and Ranger’s first Greatsword skills state that you’re striking or slashing a foe, they’re actually attacking every foe within the weapon’s range, including those behind my characters, in a single stroke.

My Mesmer’s Greatsword does as it’s skills state.

Not sure if the Warrior has the same problem, as I don’t have a Warrior.

The fact that the target behind me takes less damage than those to the sides, or my main target, makes we wonder if this is an intentional effect of the weapon that’s not stated in the skills’ description.

If it is intentional… I’d love to see other professions’ weapons have it too.

This is working as intended,but just like gw1 it will not attack all targets around you it will attack your main target and 2 other random targets in your main targets rang. If you get 5 enemies you’ll soon notice your actually only hitting 3. This does not apply to when your skill states all enemies, this will as it states hit everything. And yes warriors are the same , and I agree the auto attack is vague about that. Due to your mesmer not swinging the sword and the attack is ranged its logical it will only hit a single Target.
