    Ranged LB not working on slopes

    Like someone in the JP forums mentioned, the ranged LB doesn't hit your target when there's a slope involved.



    Top bar: The current state of LB aoe
    Bottom Bar: Ideal LB aoe

    This has pretty much existed since the start of FFXIV, with people exploiting Twintania's divebombs in a similar fashion by making use of a slope. From then on, all Boss fights occurred on flat ground to cover up this fault.

    Is it difficult to factor in height into the code/program?

    A better example of this exploit is Dhorme Chimera. Pulling it to the top of the hill made it so that no ranged/casters were hit by the Dragon's Voice. This is 100% an exploit since an entire mechanic is ignored.

    "ignored" You still get hit from db if one of ur group messes up.

    I'm not talking about divebomb since its a bad example, so I used a better one. And just to make things clearer, the dragon's voice exploit is completely relevant to the issues that ranged adrenaline rush has in frontlines.

    The point of the slope for twintania was to make sure she always dive bombed outside of the arena apart from that small area

    but yes this new LB issue has been a problem since seal rock was added

    I've mentioned this a long while back and it hasn't gotten any attention (even though they had forwarded to the accepted bugs section)

    It's utterly infuriating since ranged LB is technically lower damage than caster with a much lower effective range, made all the worse that you can't even take advantage of most of the bottle necks on the high ground nodes

    The pit in T5 was nothing more than a physical landmark. The tactic could have worked from many locations, it was just easy to do there since that's also where the next set of adds spawned. The actual elevation and going up and down had nothing to do with dodging the divebomb.

    I was under the impression that all AOEs, including LBs, had an exclusively horizontal property to them.


    Twin's Dive on flat ground.


    Slope exploit. People who were slow in running up that hill still got hit by that AOE.
