Ranged LB not working on slopes

[TiaHariberux3]

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.

But can u really call it "exploit". So is using tempered will etc also a exploit cause I can dodge divebombs with skills like this too?

How is using a slope can be related to using an in-game ability that is designed for such attacks?
Before you reply with "slope is designed to avoid such attacks as well", no they aren't designed for such attacks for example: Chimera's trial where you it up and tank it above a rock and dragon's voice won't hit ranged at all, how is this not an exploit?

Actually it doesnt matter since there is no real difference in difficulty to dodge the db with the slope or not (atleast for me). Comparing it to the LB issue mentioned above is meh cause it works a bit different. And no its not that "hard" to fix it but I could imagine there are some problems x.x

It's taking advantage of a flaw in the system. Whether it can be termed 'exploit' is another argument for another day anyway.

Can't they make it so that the LB originates from the source and ends exactly at where the target last was, with height factored in?

I had a dragon on the slope in churning mists all the breath attacks go into the hill on the steep hills. Tried with a few different mobs with front attacks and they all disappear into the hills with out even having to move if you were on the high ground. They did seem to slope down the hill when I stood below them. This doesn't help with limit break, but it seems like it is a common problem with front attacks not registering slopes.
