14 seconds, 1 iWarden, 1 bug, 5 fails

It’s great to have all these changes, nerfs, and buffs coming down the pipeline. But how about we fix, or failing that revert some of the broken changes that’ve been made.

iWarden should have been hot fixed after the last patch. If the problem its facing currently is inherent, then simply revert it back to its old state when it at least attacked on summon.

well it seems like we are “chees”, “purple” and a joke to anet devs which many noticed during the stream today. “yeah no clones for u hahahaha.”
this bug has been for a while now. no fix , no nothing. no one cares that this cripples the mesmer, but hey lets nerf hahahaha

Agree. There’s no excuse for this. It’s simply bad programming.

Believe it or not, I pretty much stopped playing mesmer because of this (and the lack of any viable non-focus pve build). Then I discovered that other professions are similarly not too diverse pve-wise. Since I do not care about pvp, I might just quit after only three months of playing time.

fixing bugs is hard….nerfing numbers is easy.
anet balance team manifesto.

That skill did work better in the past. If i remember correctly they even acknowledged that bug in the bug forum. But that was a LONG time ago. Better do some nerfs to <insert useful gear/trait/skill> instead.

It seems to be related to the (very) long aftercast animation when the Warden comes to a stop (if you look carefully in the vid her target moves again twice before she’s finished coming to a standstill). Her spell finally triggers because the third time lucky she got the chance to finish the arduous animation cycle.

As Ross Biddle has suggested I would prefer if the Warden just worked as it once did (i.e. it doesn’t move and casts its spell on stationary summon).

+1 to revert if a fix is not easy to find.

I think the worst example of this is the last boss of the harpy fractal. The wardens absolutely will not spin when summoned on a golem, and that is a fight you really, really want reflects/absorbs. In most situations projectile defense >>>> damage when I’m using wardens, so even if the phantasm is stationary whirling at nothing i can still stand in it and be protected.

iwarden used to be my favorite phantasm. if a pistol thief tried to burst me down i could summon an iwarden to protect me and he did well….but now its terrible. i chases random enemies, doesent hit the gates. hits pets now eventough i summoned it vs the ranger, then ranger goes invis and it attacks pet, doesnt reflect ranges dmg anymore and most of the time is busy chasing instead of attacking or doesnt span at all.

iWarden has been broken since late November and really needs to be fixed. Seriously.

This is unacceptable. They keep introducing more bugs without fixing old ones.

Lol they have time to fix the Chaos Storm, but a bug that negatively impacts mesmers? That doesn’t get touched.

Yea this is ridiculous…
