Guild Wars 2

Axe skill 5 hits 15 times, but the damage display and the on hit sfx doesnt show this. Only 6-7 hits of sfx and animation is displayed, and only those hits count towards the damage shown.

In this screenshot you can see whirling axe shown to be dealing a total of 1738 dmg, but if you look at the combat log the total dmg is actually 2864. Also, when using this Combo Whirl finisher in combo fields, the projectiles dont seem to hit anything.

The strange thing is that if you use whirling axe on breakable world objects, like crates, all 15 hits sfx and dmg is shown correctly.

I would like to add some input regarding this bug:

This bug seems to only occur for Asuran characters, and only on normal sized monsters. I have been extensively using this skill to see exactly where the issue occurs. I can provide the following:
1) LARGE monsters like the dragons and giant event bosses do not encounter this issue. During a battle with The Shatterer, I had no issue getting all 15 hits in.
2) This applies to only the Asuran race. During events/hearts where your character changes models (Like the one in the Ascalon area where you turn into a Charr/Human to sabotage the other rebel forces and make it look like Separatists/Flame Legion did it), all 15 hits take effect.
3) It does not matter how many monsters are around you. If they are small, regardless of distance or general size (IE: Flame Legion enemy vs Inquest enemy) you will only hit 7-8 times. You can have 50 enemies around you, the same thing occurs.
4) The hits that are missing are in the middle of the attack. For example, it will be something like:
HIT – HIT – HIT – Nothing – Nothing – HIT – HIT – Nothing – Nothing – Nothing – HIT – HIT – Nothing – Nothing – Nothing – HIT
There will NOT be Misses. Just nothing happens.

I have submitted an in-game bug report as well, but I feel that this post properly describes the problem encountered. Hopefully something can be done about this soon because it really hurts the usability of the attack.
