I don’t completely see this as a bug as much as a design flaw. I’m sure most of you have found that using ground targeting skills when hovering over the interface, the target’s buffs for example, will cause you to cast the skill at your own feet. This can be good and extremely bad on different situations.
I will use the thief “Shadowstep / Shadow Return” utility skill to give an example. This is used to break stun ( http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Shadowstep ).
When you want to break stun, it is usually in a pinch (Warrior stun with quickness), the camera angles are not always forgiving, especially when backed against a wall. Accidentally mousing over the interface doesn’t help you in this situation, it will break the stun, but you then have to waste a dodge roll or die because you are disorientated from an unexpected result of your skill.
Ground target skills could work a lot nicer if the UI(User Interface) was not interact-able while using these skills. If the curser temporarily ignores the UI that would make it a lot easier for me, but could make it harder for other players.
They could also not cast if hovering over the UI, for me that would be a disaster.
Is anyone else having trouble with this issue?
p.s.
Love the game, can’t get enough.
