In WvW elementalist was downed and I waited him to spend Vapor Form while attacked him. Moved to him after Vapor Form and then tried finish move. I tried three times finish move, every time activation bar went all the way, didn’t get interrupted and finish animation played all the way through. Nothing happened though, he was draining his health normally but just didn’t die on finish move.

Is this known bug? Anyone else experience similar thing?

did you try attacking them with a ranged weapon and seeing where the projectile went? it sounds like a lag based issue to me

I didn’t attack during those three finish moves, because it was so weird that when first didn’t connect and I wasn’t interrupted I just wanted to see if second/third would do anything. I think I had dagger-dagger then, or alternate axe-focus. Didn’t notice anything strange about my Flesh Golem or Blood Fiend though.

I thought it might be lag, but if downed player is actually somewhere else then wouldn’t it make also impossible to start finish move?

if your minions were attacking where are then it likely wasnt lag
- ive tried reviving people a few times only to have the revive cancelled after a single health tick because they’re at a different place to me on their screen (i thought this was me lagging; but i realised other people cant res them either); since stomps dont get interrupted by distance (mes/ele/thief – well… it continues the channel; doesnt always land)… something… i lost my thought train… choo choo

As linguistically inept said this is probably a lag issue. I have had this happen before, actually last night in a 3 way for sm lords room. ( lag was kittening awful) The server may show you that the person is on the ground right in front of you when they are actually far away but since the game thinks they are right by you, you can hit F to finish but nothing will happen. Also it could be that the person is actually right by you you hit F and the animation goes through but the action never does so you don’t kill him/her.

Lets pin it down to lag then. It was just weird when nothing else was out of the ordinary and he didn’t refresh in different location after death. I don’t use finish that often so not that familiar with that. Most of the time I just keep attacking since all professions have ways to evade/interrupt finish, one time anyway. I was just curious if that is real bug.
