Guild Wars 2

When you are a necromancer and using a skill bound to weapon skill 2, when you’re just about to go to downed state, your downed state skill 2 will go on cooldown even though in didn’t trigger the effect (fear).

This is the same on all professions and has to do with ‘skill queueing’ and how interrupts work. Yes it sucks, especially for professions with semi-defensive skills on their #2 that you might be more apt to pop as you’re getting low on hp and don’t have other CDs (dagger Necro, sword Mesmer, etc). Unfortunately, their only options for a fix would make combat feel super clunky. :/

Same on every profession.

Happens on my guardian frequently, wasting my downed state skill(s). Sigh.

Thanks for the input, now I know it’s not just necros having this problem. It happened to me alot, by alot I mean probably 20 to 30 times already or even more. It’s already been several months since I last reported this, and it’s getting so frustrating. Can you make the change to downed state an interrupt, so whatever you were pressing at the time gets canceled, and we don’t trigger downed state skill 2 because of that?

Yeh, I was going to say the same, this should solve the problem without changing how skill queue works
