Guild Wars 2

Since the july 23 update, i’ve been noticing a strange effect when using point blank shot on my ranger. The shot forces the enemy backward but they instantly rubberband right back. I’m uncertain if this happens with other classes that use similar type of push back skills as i’ve been playing mostly my new ranger since that update but it definitely plays differently for me.

Before the update when suing PBS, the enemy is forced backward and they kinda stagger to get up then run back to you, not insta rubberband back to the original position.

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this and if devs could clarify if this is working as intended, or whether i should report it as a bug.

Also on a side note, since Aug 6 update, my Asura seems to be moving slower during normal movement, anyone else found this?

I had that today on my engineer. I pushed it back with air blast then used flame blast to try to catch it as it ran back at me. It missed completely because the mob rubberbanded right through the napalm ball without getting hit.

Actually Ive noticed this as well, I figured it was just me though. Ele, staf: fire skill 4, and air skill 3. The first is a backward roll, the other is a push back. In either case I, or the foe (depending on which is being used), rubberbands right back about 50% of the time. Very annoying

Ranger here, same problem with the Point Blank Shot. It’s made the skill pretty worthless.

Yes same here, with my ranger i meant to mention that it don’t happen all the time but yea about 50% of the time, which tells me it must be a bug. Otherwise if they changed it, it should happen 100% of the time.
