Guild Wars 2

After the nerf to Heartseeker, it seems to have gone back to its Beta ways – one out of maybe every seven or ten times, it seems to just “miss”. The enemy doesn’t roll, or get otherwise moved, it just…misses. As an execution skill it’s extremely important that it can reliably hit.

Other people have noticed this as well.

This is veeeery frustrating in PvP too.

^ Yes, today was the first time I’ve played since this update, or heartseeker nerf. PvP, someone could be standing right in front of me, not rolling, well within range, and heartseeker would just miss. Very often. Almost to the point where I would try to use literally any other move to finish off people.

Hello ,
After The Latest Patch That Nerfed Heartseeker , the ability is bugged again , its 50% hit or miss , no im not talking about evading it , it just miss 50% of the time , and it’s crutial for us pvper so please we ask you to fix it kindly

thanks Anet

Yeah its messed up right now. I made a bug thread yesterday but no reply what so ever really getting annoying……..

HS is definitely missing more since it was nerfed, please look into it Anet. HS had issues in beta for a while where it missed a lot, wondering if this is falling back to that same problem.

I am also getting very very frustrated after the recent patch. Heartseeker is no longer useable for me and all I’m trying to do is PvE. It misses at least 75% of the time and does nothing but waste Initiative. Please fix this ASAP.

From the rabbit on PvE to a fallen enemy on WvW, heart seeker and other thief skill simply miss/obstructed their target. No condition on me, no boons at all on the target, stationary target or moving target, it doesn’t matter anything. I simply miss over 50% of my heart seeker.

*Elementalist seems to have the same issue, it is not thief related.

It is really frustrating.

I dont miss at all on my ele… or with heart seeker on my thief… Are you facing the target?? O,o

I agree. I miss all the time with heartseeker. Often right next to the target and facing the right way. Originally I thought it only happens on uneven terrain, but I think I remember seeing it on seemingly flat ground too.

Ride the lightning is a pretty bad on a moving target/uneven terrain. The aoe never goes off so you end up being stuck in the charge animation for a few seconds.

yes! Since they made the change to heart seeker it is missing constantly for no apparent reason.

I have to agree.

Been testing it these days and i will miss one every few heartseekers all the time. I would expect some skills to miss while fighting in uneven terrain, with the npc far away, etc. But its missing even on flat terrain, with the mob just next to me and in front of me.

Are you guys looking into this?

This is still happening to me to, I am sure they will look into it there was a similar problem in the beta that they eventually fixed, sooner than later would be nice though

Yes, even misses on a stationary foe.
This happens after the nerf.

Yes, Heartseeker misses a lot, tried to hit a stationary foe, 50% the time it missed.
I am sure the target doesn’t have ability to block and I wasn’t suffering from any condition.
