Guild Wars 2

With increasing frequency, I’m having a problem with knockback skills. For example, Air Blast, the skill 3 on an engineer’s flamethrower.

What’s happening is that the enemy is knocked back, then immediately teleports back to melee range. This is for many different enemies, none of which have a typical teleport skill. For example, wargs, ettins, bandits, nightmare hounds, moas, et cetera. You can see that the enemy wakitten with the skill as they are briefly sent backwards, it’s not a matter of missing or being dodged.

Most often the problem occurs on uneven terrain, but even flat ground is susceptible to the bug.

Edit: Overzealous word filter to the rescue! “Wakitten”? Seriously? OK, let’s try pantomimes. Convert “they were hit” so just singular. So that would be “he wakitten”. Jiminiy jumpin’ crickets of doom, that’s silly. The phrase where you say “was” just before “hit” is not that uncommon. For kitten’s sake.
