Has anyone else noticed that axe gets obstructed from target?

[Shazmataz.1423]

I wvw almost exclusively and use axe. I have noticed in the last couple of weeks that axe seems to be obscured from hitting targeted things rather more often than not. Staff hits, dagger hits, focus can hit it but axe nope. Can anyone else confirm this is also happening for them?

do you mean obstructed?

Where are you getting obstructed? I know in wvw there are many places that seem to do this for a lot of ranged weapons on all classes in places that are definitely not meant to be obstructed [for example you can't even hit an npc in front of you near the benches at north camp on alpine].

Yes! Sorry I do mean obstructed. Tried to kill an ambient chicken in sw camp in alpine map....couldn't touch it with axe at all and yes there are alot of places in wvw that the axe is obstructed but other weapons can hit :(

So it's not just me then?

That's "normal". There is also an ambient creature at the south west spawn on alpine borderlands which is impossible to kill with axe1/2. The axe3 aoe can kill it.

 

Obstructured issues with structural siege like burnig oil do exist since forever too, when you try to hit it with axe1/2.

No, but these issues are nothing new.
