Guild Wars 2

Once you activate the new Assassin’s Signet active buff, you now deal 15% more damage on your next 5 attacks in theory.

However, currently, you lose a charge whether you just auto attack in the air, miss, use any other signet that does no damage like Infiltrator’s Signet’s Shadowstep or Signet of Shadow’s blind and all the other abilities that require a target and deal no damage.

Please fix this, so that it actually increases damage for attacks that do in fact deal damage.

its next attack and thats not “next sucessfull attack”. Therefore i think its correct its going away when you miss (same like venoms are working)

Using Infiltrator’s Signet does not even generate an attack, yet it takes up a charge.

But if it’s being consumed when using a signet … that’s just stupid. >_>

Why would you even activate Assassin’s Signet?! the passive power boost has better DPS that the active one…

Seems working as intented. If i use Inc. Ammo on my Engineer my next three attacks inflict burning. But a charge is consumed wether it actually hits or not.

(Infact the ability is truely bugged because it consumes 2 charges for only 1 burn, but thats besides the point.)

And i believe the same applied to my Ranger and Sharpening Stone.

The passive boost is 90 Power. Not a huge lot. And in PvP where you only need to DPS for a few seconds of every minute I’m sure the using the Singet is better.

^This. I really don’t get why they nerfed the signet to begin with. Even if you managed to land the attack, which wasn’t very often, you had to stack other venoms and signets together in order for the signet to have any lasting power. On top of that, you’re a sitting duck after you’re out of cloak and dagger for 2 seconds. You can’t stealth again because of the stealth cooldown.
