Q:

So while dueling my ping says ~150 during the entire duration of a duel and drops to ~50 outside of a duel. But while dueling, my attunement swap as well as many of my other skills (longbow 3 on DH, shield of courage on DH, staff 3, 5, block, and steal on thief) have 2 second delays half of the time, I immediately check my ping and it’s 150… Why does my ping say 150 but my skill delays scream 2000?

There can be a multitude of reasons as to why. For starters…

  • List computer specs
  • Ping your speed on Speedtest.net – pick a Near server then a far server
  • Ever have input lag in pve or other games?

It is possible that your ping can be fine while the servers are incredibly taxed and have a backlog of tasks for 2 seconds.

For an example of this try a 3 way zerg fight in SM lords room in WvW… where you can light up all your skills without a single thing firing off until the dust settles and everyone goes away (or your die from condi) :p

Still going to complain about your two seconds? xD

If its any consolation in theory if your getting server lag they should be too..

Smithers, why is the server lagging?
Sir, with all due respect that was our last guinea pig…
