Guild Wars 2

I have all targeting options disabled, so the only way I should have a target is if I click or tab.

Now I often find skills like savage leap, rush or bulls charge being directed towards opponents that are no longer selected. It happens more often when I stop targeting , and occasionally when I just switch targets by clicking.

I know this sort of stuff happens to people when they have auto-targeting enabled, but I do not. So when I don’t have a target I shouldn’t turn around and leap towards something I don’t have targeted.

It doesn’t seem to be skill or class specific, it’s just broken targeting.

I don’t think this is a bug. Skills that auto move you go backwards by default out whatever direction arrow key you are pressing. I think they work that easy regardless of if a target is selected or not.

I was experiencing some problems with targeting switching randomly without me telling it to last night, and firing at targets that I had deliberately just unselected (sometimes multiple times) last night when I was playing. I didn’t used to have any issues with my targeting, all started after the last game patch. I think it has something to do with the anti-bot stuff they have been adding.

Just because I play for 12 hours straight does not mean I’m a bot. lol. It just means I have issues.

Most of the time when this happens, is when running directly away from an opponent. Skills still are directed towards your “non-target”. Using a target based movement skills like savage leap on a warrior or heartseeker on a thief will turn your character around towards the “non-target” moving towards them.

I get this a lot too, and I do have auto-target enabled so it’s not because of auto-target.

I just created a warrior a few weeks ago and once I started to use the sword which allows for Savage Leap to target, I discovered it DOES NOT WORK!

I actually rarely reach my target using this skill. The only time I find it works is if I am already ON the target. Leaping to a target from any distance you will find yourself flying over and beyond the target which requires to you turn around and run back to the target in order to engage it.

PLEASE FIX THIS BROKEN SKILL!!

No auto targeting is set on.
