Ranger Barrage (Longbow skill #5) does not require line-of-sight when targetting

It appears that the ranger barrage skill does not perform any LOS check when placing it. This is mainly a problem in wvw where it allows rangers to attack targets on or behind objective walls or hit targets at the base of the wall from safety (like an AC can).

Why does it need line of sight when you’re shooting arrows up into the air so they’ll arch over an obstacle to hit your target?

Because any skill needs LoS and makes no sense to exempt this skill. The way they can hit AC's on supply depots far inside a keep makes no sense at all.

Wow. A five month necro post. As I had said in my post all the way back in January, you're shooting arrows up into the air so there's no need for LoS.

Also, in real life, you don't need LoS in order to do this so there's no reason why it would need to be different in the game.

You mean like elementalist meteor shower?

This may be pertinent:

Fixed a bug that prevented this skill from being targeted in certain areas blocked by line of sight.
