Guild Wars 2

Not sure if this is a bug or a new implementation to the F2 skill ability for the pets, but after the rather big patch on the 22nd Oct, everytime I press the F2 skill on use, a large green AoE target icon pops up much like the Ranger’s skill Birrage, where you must aim where the arrows strike the ground.

If I do however try to use the AoE green targeting icon and aim elsewhere executing the pet skill, the pet would not move to that targeted location and just stand there and activate the skill like it always have before the big patch. I guess in a way this could be a bug since it doesn’t correspond with the pet.

I would like to provide a screenshot, but it does not show the Green AoE target ‘riticule’, instead just shows the pet executing the F2 skill normally without the green circle thingy.

Maybe it has something to do with the control key assignments? I don’t know. But this new change certainly wasn’t seen nor discussed before the new patch had arrived.

I’ve tried disabling ‘Area of Effect rings’ but it still shows upon use of the F2 skill.

If its just me, then I hope there’s an easy fix (hoping its not re-installing cause that would be a pain), and if someone else is having the same problem/changes, feel free to comment and see whether the differences is noticeable. If not, feel free to comment anyway of how much of an Idiot I am into believing this was a bug in the first place. /sarcasm

Yep I see the same issue. You click the hotkey and it works normally. You hit the assigned hot key and you get an AOE ring. seems to happen with all pet f2 skills.

It’s not that big of an issue but dealing with those AoE rings is a bit irritating when your working your combos on those mobs when exploring Tyria, and this totally unexpected green circly thing gets in the way screwing with the controls.

But I found sometimes when in combat, it doesn’t show up and sometimes out of combat it does. So it’s quite random at the moment.

Hope this gets an attention in the up coming next patch.
