Guild Wars 2

The hitbox of the electrical floors was completely unreasonable, this happened getting this fractal as the second one and prevented us from getting any furhter. We had two humans and 1 Sylvari who were of about the size of the hitbox of player characters who were struck by the ‘death zones’ when the floor was nowhere even near us, I’m talking 3+ feet. At the bottom, all of us were suddenly shocked and went down despite being away from as far as the electrical floor goes down.

I’ve had no problems with this Fractal, perhaps it was just bad luck?

Were you using dodges and blinks etc?
What race you are (2 Humans 1 Sylvari) won’t chance hit boxes and gameplay.

Are you talking about the red circles and harpy projectiles that knock Back? I’m assuming you are. Most likely you not seeing the red circle and there’s a couple of them. As in, you see one circle and get away from it. However, there is another red circle where you moved to but since it is so large it often doesn’t show up on the platforms. So you end up getting hit. It’s possible to get hit when there is no red circle on any platform because of how large the circle is, it is too large for an edge of it to be on the platform.

You need more reflect or stability
Guardian: wall of reflection, shield of the avenger, stand your ground, hallowed ground.
Mesmer: feedback, traited focus for warden reflect and curtain reflect (note put the curtain right down on where you are standing to make it reflect back for harpies)
Ele: swirling winds
Thief: that smokey line thing I can’t recall the name lol.

Good luck

I’ve never had an issue until today, Human and Sylvari are the races closest to what a player hit box actually is.

The electrical floor is where you go up the steps and three people have to make it up to disable it to answer the second poster’s question. The rangers I understood getting screwed over (because of their pets), but when I see people get hit by literally nothing, that’s when it’s a problem. The sudden instance with everyone getting shocked and downed despite everyone being away from the shock zones is not normal.
