After testing I have noticed Crippling Talon’s Range is bugged. With Off-Hand Training it is meant to be 1200 Range, yet it misses targets that the torch (also 1200 range with off-hand training) can easily hit.
Even more shocking is targets that my main-hand axe (900 range) can hit, Crippling Talon with its 1200 range says is out of range. This can only mean Crippling Talon has a range of 850 or slightly less, even with off-hand training.
This is both PvE and WvW related and is a huge issue in WvW when what should be a reliable slow is missing targets that are 900-1200 range away.
