Deathstrike should require a target.

Can you please make Death Strike require an in range target so it doesn't go on cooldown without actually being used on anything.

Also thanks for fixing the facet dismounting issue.

I actually like it the way it is. It makes it easier to chase down thieves.

How so, it can go on cooldown without actually hitting anything

If phase travel doesn't get you to your target you can use that skill to inch your way to him for the kill

part of what makes Deathstrike a good skill is that it can help gap close on targets without hitting anything. If they change it like PS was changed then its back to axe land bois LUL

I think you missed my point, I am not talking about the way the skill functions when fighting a target. If you are just standing around and click the skill, it will go on cooldown for example, I think this needs to be changed. You cant use it to shadowstep to a target out of range anyways. I want it to be changed so it doesn't get wasted and go on cooldown without actually having hit something.

I understood what you meant cause I read it ;-)

ya a target required would be good for it, although ive never used so idk personally. Its just a targeted blink attack right?

Yea its basically a shadowstep attack skill, its nice for pve because of the high damage on the offhand swords skills, and the immobilize on #4 is nice in wvw for power builds. Also you can click a target that is out of range, and nothing will happen, it will also cause the skill to go on cooldown. Normally similar skills will say "Target is out of range", or "Skill requires Target"

Sounds like you're just fat fingering it. Also you can use to shadowstep to a target out of range.

Sound like someone doesn't know how to read. Beyond the accidental mispresses, it will help against sudden detargeting from mesmers and thieves who already hard-counter rev.

Indeed, it would be nice to not see it wasted and go on cooldown for no reason.
