Guild Wars 2

I’ve noticed that abilities first second does not even count. Like if an ability has a 3 second duration it will only apply the last 2. So abilities with 1 second duration does not even take effect. Even when well timed. I’m sure i’m not the only one that noticed this.

5.00
4.59
4.58
ect
4.01
4.00
3.59
3.58
ect
1.01
1.00
0.59
ect

The game isn’t missing the first second, the duration is only 5 seconds for a 60th of a second; after that 60th of a second, the game displays 4. If the game displayed the fractions of a second, you would see what I typed above.

thx for clearing it up. But you do have to admit.. it does feel kinda short change time to time

I always thought the cooldown timers were off by a second. Though my desktop has been down for a month, can’t remember how it works to show an example. :/

if its a 3s spell you wont see the number 3 it will already be 2.59s when ability shows up on monster.
Easy to see since the 2 aint turning into a 1 straight away
