Cannot Thrash or use Raze on Bonemaw in SMBG. I’ve noticed in other places these two abilities having issues in both cat or bear form.

It might be the hit box. Raze is working by it’s self but if you have the buff tooth and claw on you raze is not going to hit unless you are inside the hit box. it’s like it has a hit box within a hit box, but the one within is the same size as your hit box so yeah it sucks because you will not get the “T&C” debuff put on the boss. it’s fubar still.
This. You’ve pretty much gotta be standing right on top of the dude.
Side note…. That boss has entirely too much health. This is not a complaint about its difficulty either. The fight is super easy. But after the two other worms are dead and he’s submerged and popped up several times, it’s like…. Bruh… just die already.
Based on my own observations, it’s actually a very specific interaction with the hitbox. Raze’s AoE basically needs to connect with the center of the enemy’s hitbox for it to register as landing. I noticed this primarily with the first boss of Nokhud Offensive.
When running out of the Boss’ aoe attack, I tried to Raze and it refused to land. Afterward, I tucked in extra close and it hit just fine. I tested this theory further on Bonemaw in SMBG. Using it like usual, of course it didn’t hit the boss. However, if I stood on the very edge of the platform, like right before falling off into the water? It was landing.
That’s why Raze can’t hit massive bosses - there’s no way for it to even get close to the center of the hitbox. Literally the only thing they would have to do to fix this, is make it so the edge of the hitbox is all that is needed for Raze to land. Like pretty much any other AoE should work.
Yup “Raze” hits just fine in melee range when you do not have “Tooth and Claw” up on your self. If you have the “T&C” buff up on your self “Raze” will not hit unless you are standing in the center of the boss hitbox. It would be nice if blizz did a hot fix to the hit box.

Was this successfully resolved in the hotfix?
It looks like it might have been hot fixed but blizz said nothing about it. but the tree is still fubar and needs to be fixed.
Wow, the info in here a little misguided.
Raze will consume Rage if used; however, if it fails to hit a target with Tooth and Claw up, it will not consume the proc, effectively causing you to spam free Razes (with no effect).
Second interaction is that any creature with legs underground or with legs under water HATES to play nice with Raze. It’s a cone AoE, and something about the targeting refuses to go under ground/water.
Raze is also failing to hit without TNC with mobs meeting this criteria. Guardian Druid is so poorly bug fixed from testing and not listened to about the issues, it’s sad. Not worth the money anymore.
(May have been hotfixed–I am done waiting for the game to feel good to play though.)
Yeah you need to be right on top of Bonemaw to hit him with Thrash/Swipe in cat form – even with the extended range talent. It’s very irritating.
