Guild Wars 2

Necro has been neglected lately until last two days in Orr.
Serious issue with Spectral Grasp fighting Risen.

Testing undertaken:
10/1/13 AEST: Approx 80-90% failure rate.
11/1/13 AEST: 100% failure rate
11/1/13: Tests:
1. On flat terrain
2. Within melee range of foe
3. Duration of tests: In excess of two hours.
100% failure rate

It is the staple skill for solo’ing as a D/D necro.
Can anyone else confirm?

Spectral Grasp has always has never functioned reliably especially on uneven terrain. Discusion with thief today in Malchor’s who suggested a z-axis issue. Makes sense for terrain issues since similar issue with Scorpion Wire.
This raised thoughts about mesmer illusionary wave (prior to necro l had been playing mesmer). This skill functions reasonably reliably (in Orr too) though if it doesn’t push it does KD. The only foe it does not seem to work on are earth elementals.

Diessa Plateau- Yellow lvl 16 Doe / Lvl 15 Dredge -100% working
Fireheart Rise – Lvl 64 Flame Legion Axe Fiend – slight incline – not working
Yellow Lvl 64 Moa – flat terrain – not working
Yellow Lvl 63 Moa – flat terrain – worked
Lvl 64 warg – worked
Lvl 64 Harpy Hunter – Failed
Lvl 63 Canyon Spiders, two- worked

Seems level increase creates a difference.
