Guild Wars 2

Earth Overload’s dust cyclone released at the end only applies protection in the area. The damage is actually around the elementalist.

An unintended mechanics from Earth Overload. The damaging aoe is around the elementalist instead of being at the location of the final impact of the Overload. The protection pulse remains on the area, though. Additionnally, this unintended mechanic is also fun to play around and could be considered on fire overload, where it is an area around the elementalist that burns.

I had protection pulses following me once

Remove this, we don’t want more nerfs than we already have

on further testing, the self protection follows, but the ally protection stays

I am not removing bug reports because it’s the class I play.

Also, “Feel the Burn!” sometimes procs multiple times on the same target when pulses are overlapping, similar to Coalescence of Ruin (Hammer revenant).

Protection does follow. It’s actually the first form of the Overload that keeps going on (it’s exactly 4 pulses; like 4 pulses of damage after overload completion). This is probably causing more protection than intended.
(1 seconds of protection pulsing every seconds)

Hey. I never thought it would result in a 80% protection uptime loss.
