Tonics update 9/29
So, you were propositally glitching the game, and now that it is fixed you come to forums to whine about it? I cant say if you are being serious or just making fun out of us all.
Because it was bug and people like you openly admitted abusing it to gain an advantage ! +1 Anet
“ANet. They never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity to not mess up.”
Mod “Posts created to cause unrest with unfounded claims are not allowed” lmao
carry a focus…
carry a focus… with focus, mimic, and blink you can move fairly quick.
Because it’s a bug, bugs get fixed openly exploiting the bug because it makes the game easier for you is wrong.

I think when i was complaining about speed someone told me to get Travellers runes…
Mesmer will get travel speed signet with HoT if you play Cronomancer trait line.
Just carry a focus, a pocket ele/guradian/warrior or just wait a few weeks and go Chrono.
Focus is garbage. Anet never said it was a glitch or bug. And I have no idea what “propositally” means. Trav runes seriously degrade power on a zerk build.
There are so many other game breaking bugs in this game that are actually acknowledged as game breaking bugs. Show me anywhere where Anet said centaur runes should never work with an infinite tonic and I’ll change my opinion.

I guess they just did with today patch. They say basically all rune should not get this ability with tonic by making change today.
Again with Chronomancer trait Mesmer will get speed travel signet like other profession. Less than a month now to wait for that.
Not to mention, before I changed to centaur runes I came here to search for any evidence that their previous behavior with infinite tonics WAS a bug or glitch. No such evidence was found. Evidence WAS found that this was an accepted speed boost and superior alternative to trav runes. Had any dev at any time said on THESE forums that this was unintended and would be fixed in the future, I would not have made the change. Accusing me of glitching or abusing something that was accepted behavior is just wrong.

Tonics: Fixed a bug that would allow leaving a tonic transform to trigger the effects of traits and runes that worked from heal use.
Right there, in the patch notes
On future reference Anet usually doesn’t announce known bugs cause they don’t want people /exploiting/ said known bugs. =P

I’ll accuse you of lacking common sense. Anyone could realize this wasn’t intentional, and pretending otherwise only makes you look like a fool.
I gladly traded some damage for the speed boost of traveler runes, can’t have everything in life after all.
Why not just use the healing mantra, trait it to be able to use it three times and you’ll easily ahve 100% uptime swittness. Atleast that’s what i do.
From gw2 wiki about sixth tier of centaur runes:
+20% Movement speed increased by 33%; stacks duration. Swiftness duration; when you use a heal skill , you and all nearby allies gain Movement speed increased by 33%; stacks duration. Swiftness for 10 seconds.
So, where there is stated that it gave the effect from tonic transformations? If it does not state it, but still does it – then it is a bug. If it is a bug, and you use it for your own purposes, then you are abusing it. If you are abusing a bug to have benefits out of it, you should be grateful for not being banned or punished for violating the rules of conduct, and not whining about the fix for the bug.

1) I agree, anything that gives 100% up time on reflects, allows pulling of mobs/opponents, and gives swiftness is obviously a trash weapon.
2) tonic/heal skill… I know the two sound almost the same and are spelled very closely to each other but some type of hint in the description screams bug to me… I just can’t put my finger on it though.
These are the posts I saw and read before making my change. At no time does a dev show up and say its a bug or exploit.

Xiune, I don’t like focus because the phantasm just stands in one spot and is too easy for an opponent to dodge. Thank you for your comment “carry a focus… with focus, mimic, and blink you can move fairly quick.”

Like it was already pointed out in above post Anet doesn’t always acknowledge bugs to prevent players from abusing them.
Life isn’t always fair!!!!!!!!! :P

Choxie discovered an exploit with tonics. Maybe he and the viewers reported it en masse, that’s probably why arenanet fixed it quickly/included in this patch.

lolololololololol…. how about BEFORE the patch? Show me something from before the patch and I’ll send you 10 gold.

Holey Moley! That IS game breaking! I had no idea this was doable before the patch.
After watching that video, I’m completely changing my tune and agreeing with the nerf.
Was the OP seriously claiming that tonics affecting traits and skills was intended behavior? That tonics were DESIGNED to interact with traits????
O.o
ANet may give it to you.
