I actually came up with a really elegant solution to solve this without completely changing the mechanics for people who prefer the manual casting. All the devs have to do is add an extra option in the options menu for ground targeting which does this:
Smart Cast: Instantly cast your ground targeted skill at the target’s location. Hold down button to manually position ground targeting.
This will completely solve the engi’s grenade problem and also give all other classes an extra useful option. It shouldn’t be difficult to implement, since it’s a combination of the two other ground targeting options that we already have.
All of this wouldn’t be a problem if they didn’t stick ridiculously short timers for every single event boss. It just feels lazy and uncreative, giving the illusion of a challenge when it is not. Anet, please add variety to the fights that truly requires skill rather than slapping a timer on it and requiring people to deck out in berserker gears.
