idolin.2831 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 In WvW - why do skills like precision strike or UA target the supply depot or first aid kit? Doesn't make any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't make any sense. Makes me smile that they nerfed the skill to prevent it to target stealth players but their kept the capacity to hit (and to waste damage) objects.

Clownmug.8357 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 In Anet's dictionary "precise" means flinging things around randomly and "unrelenting" means completely ignoring your intended target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Ketsu.4569 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 It's really just sword 2. It used to do too much damage so they nerfed the damage and broke how the skill works so that it chooses targets at random. Problem is the targeting has been bugged since they changed it so it often attacks neutral-targets like doors and barrels. We have been trying to figure out a way to trick the balance team into thinking that Rev Sword 2 is actually a Mesmer skill since then they might actually fix it.

TheRubberDucky.1045 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 when using sword 2 to avoid hitting useless stuff use it when u are right up in a persons grill, it still hits hard especially on light armor tatgets or zerk gear, let them take all three hits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scar.1793 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 It’s funny to see how things like this never get fixed but if there’s anything giving a slight buff/advantage it’s instantly modified in a hotfix.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lahmia.2193 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Life stealing allows you to hit objects you normally couldn't hit, such as enemy supply depots. I found this a lot with Necromancer when using blood magic. I guess with Precision Strike, it counts as a target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scar.1793 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 In edge of the mist, on the points you conquer in order to get some supply precision strike tries to hit something around the middle of the point. But there’s nothing there. I trully don’t know why it works like that while other classes have it way easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkaile.5604 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Whatever it is, it seems as if it's been in the game for a while and has never been fixed. That's likely due to just how few abilities are affected by it. An easy way to check which stupid objects will count as potential targets is to use a tempest's air overload near them. I've seen supply depots, tower/keep walls, flag poles, even barrels get targeted. The most ridiculous one I've seen was the stone wall to the north end of Rogue's Quarry which my Rev decided needed to be taught a lesson with a quick slice when I used Unrelenting Assault.

MacDaddy.7948 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 My rev not only attack a wall, I went through it and got stuck on the other side. Really sucked cause I was still in battle and couldn't get out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucianTheAngelic.7054 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I just love that they spent the time to bug fix The legendary weapon Sharur because it was “giving two sigils when crafted” so they “removed the sigil of blight” from it. Collectively I’m sure at least 30 minutes to an hour of dev time was spent on that since it got included in the patch notes, yet there are several major revenant bugs that have gone unaddressed for years >_> It’s really demoralizing to read “bug” fixes like that honestly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scar.1793 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Unrelenting Assault and Precision Strike all target invisible targets, in WvW they target the first aid kits found near sentinels points. It’s very easy to reproduce this. It’s mind blowing how this problem never got fixed. If it affects mesmers (and sometimes thieves) you can bet it would be fixed on a balance patch/hotfix.
