Bombard broken?

Azalin76

Is bombard broken or bugged right now? Half the time when I fire it and am aiming straight ahead the arrows come out to the side and don't hit anything.

It's an animation issue. I've had the arrows come out behind me, but if my character is facing the target, they're still snared.

Always been that way, as far as I can recall. It fires in the direction YOUR CHARACTER is facing, not in the direction of your targeting reticle. Same as with Bolt Escape - you'll bolt in the direction your toon is facing, not where you're aiming.

You're absolutely right, but I've had times when my arrows fly out in a completely different direction than where my character is facing. Damage and snaring are done, but the animation is off. I think that is the bug OP is referring to.

I wouldn't mind it if it would still hit and snare but it does neither when it comes out to the side. As far as direction I am facing it happens even if I'm standing still, they shoot out at all different angles and miss the mobs completely at times.
