Guild Wars 2

I dont know if I should report it here, but Anet you need to look into this. I do not understand why it has gotten so bad. When using a ranger and I have targeted a monster (a red ring) why is the ranger firing at another target, one that is further away too. It becomes very hard to play when there is a mob because the ranger’s shot becomes very erratic with one shot here and one shot there. At times, it will fire at an enemy out of range or even nothing eventhough a target infront has been selected. Often I waste alot of special shots at nothing or at something that is out of range. Imagine seeing your rapid fire with 10 times “out of range” when clearly there is a monster in front of you.

what are your camera and targeting settings?

just to make sure you are not trying to attack ‘targeted’ mob behind your back

you can shoot only in the direction your character is facing. also regular shots are not ‘homing’, so if target changes movement direction you may ‘miss’ and hit something behind it, and with autotarget on, your target would change to the last damaged

target is standing 5ft 1o’clock position (with red ring) but arrows starts firing at monsters any where in front between the angle of 10 – 2 o’clock regardless if within range or not and definately further away then the selected target.

As a ranger, I’ve only ever seen the first shot sometimes go to an old target if I’ve just changed targets. I see this most often when working central invasion for Balth, working to clear the minefield, where I may click a mine and promptly fire, (read: under water w speargun), but its only ever my first shot at the new target.
