Guild Wars 2

Some skills have random effects. This impacts the players who use those skills, because they never know which effect they’re going to get when they cast them.

• But does this randomness actually affect combat against these players?
• Or does it just look like the player has triggered the wrong effect?

I’m just going to take a wild guess that you’re an engineer.
And yes, it’s bad for pvp.

The lack of response suggests this topic really is irrelevant and that the randomness really does only affect the caster.

@milo – Yes, I do main an Eng. Was hoping that other people were affected, but it looks like it’s just the casters that are affected.

I play ranger. If you throw elixir S and use stability then I’m going to block with my GS. If you use stability im gonna kite like a mofo until it runs out. So yes, it affects me as well.

i apologize, being the innate introverts that we alchemechanical geniuses can be, we often forget that other people do indeed perceive things independently from our own fabricated worlds, and stimuli, as such, effects a reaction in everyone.

Yes. But does that reaction differ from how you’d respond to someone who uses non-random skills to produce the same effects?
