Guild Wars 2

I’ve opened several tickets on this, and while it doesn’t happen as often as it did a month ago (it used to happen 100% of the time), it’s still happening far too frequently.

When Shadow Behemoth is targetable, staff attacks prompt the red onscreen message “Out of Range” no matter how close I am, no damage is done and marks are not being placed. If I switch to dagger or sceptre, every attack hits. Daggers and sceptres have shorter ranges than staves, so why the staff permablock? And why this message, which is so obviously incorrect? Attacks against underworld portals and creatures spawned by them are not affected, and can be targeted normally with a staff.

I don’t know if it’s related, but a similar problem exists in Brisban Wildlands while attacking bandit mines. The red onscreen message “Obstructed” appears for every ranged attack against mines in the Wendon Steps area, even if you are standing on the mine; only melee attacks affect the mines. In other areas of the same zone, the mines can be attacked normally at range and do not cause the “Obstructed” message.
