Guild Wars 2

Elementalists created after the Feature Patch (April 15th) do have a bigger AoE indicator with the Blasting Staff trait. Old characters do not have that bigger indicator.

edit: Old characters do have bigger indicators in PvP, but not in PvE and WvW.

Not fixed with September feature pack.

bumping this again…

Is this only a graphical bug, or do they really have a wider dmg radius?

Pretty sure its only graphical. As this was a bug that existed early in the game but was fixed and now has reverted back to smaller target area. If you have blasting staff trait it should be the intended size when the spells are cast just the target circle is misrepresented as a basic size.

Just a graphical bug but since it works for new characters I don’t see any reason why old character should not also get this feature

Friendly reminder that this bug still exists

never knew this was a bug, bumping for a fix pleeaaaaase

The bug is much older than that.
The strangest part is that it is a PvE/WvW only bug. It works fine in sPvP(or at least in the sPvP lobby).

interesting… so only eles created pre april feature patch and only in pve and wvw are affected by this bug…

This is an annoying bug that has seemed to be around for forever. Please fix it.

lets get this back to the front

As someone that mains a staff elementalist, this makes it extremely difficult to land Static Field in creative and skilled ways. I really do not like having to guess where I think the perimeter of the field will be every time I go to cast it.

I would go so far as to say that this provides some players with an unfair advantage over me.
