Renegade Summon Bug

I can't even summon any of the utility skills on a spot right infront of my character with nothing blocking it, this must be a bug with the pathing.

Yes, please, this needs addressing.

I understand not being able to summon underneath obastacles, but is a definite issue when trying to summon on top of many objects.

Ok, I just had a look at this again, and it doesn't seem to be a bug, but more to do with the pathing behaviour of the summons. If being cast from a position, or trying to be placed on an object or terrain that can't be directly reached by foot (without jumping), then it can't map a proper path to the target (much like how the AI behaves with us).

Just to double check I wasn't trying to push some needless change, I tried this with a couple of other classes, and sure enough I had no problems there.https://imgur.com/faU5HEFhttps://imgur.com/FwowAwVhttps://imgur.com/mXEgCZ4https://imgur.com/mGnjTaS

As it currently is, it effectively cuts our abilities in half depending on the environment.

The problem is even worse in wvw where if you do get one summoned before being vaproized it'll just go down a millisecond before you do and never do anything. It was a great idea on paper for them but the renegade itself in its current form if ever used will just be for a few of the traits it has and nothing more than that.

It's a problem in PvE. I was doing DS last night and couldn't summon on the ground next to me because the area I targeted was angled. I had to run to the spot, stand on it, then I was able to drop the summons on top of myself.
