Does anyone else notice this? The bear and raven (possibly others) Norn racials feel incredibly sluggish. Their skill animations seem to take twice as long as other skill animations, and activating two skills in quick succession causes the first one to cancel out and only the second one to fire off. This, coupled with the limited duration makes these skills really frustrating to use.

Also, the new way weapon kits save autocast skills doesn’t apply to shapeshifts, so I have to manually toggle my normal attack to autocast every time I transform. Also bad, again due to the limited duration.

They all need a buff, they look cool and are fun to walk around but issues like that and general feebleness make them pretty worthless against more then few mobs. Or at least lower the cooldown if their gonna stay crappy

I agree, they are SO clunky. I was very excited about turning into a bear. Turns out I’ve only used it like 4-5 times in my entire GW2 career (and NEVER to actually fight in, it’s way too slow and you can’t even attack while moving)

Yeah waste of trait points lol

Odd, I thought the same thing for a while till I started to really mess with them. I actually found them pretty useful in the right situations. I understand they are more for flavor, but definitely wouldn’t trade them for anything else while leveling, I’ve soloed far more difficult things with their help and kept myself topped off on HP to boot.
