Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, quick question…

Occasionally eruption (staff earth 2) isn’t “erupting” instead it is simply disappearing. This happens 100% of the time when I cast it and get knocked down afterwards, and I’m sure I’ve noticed it not erupt at other points as well…. This is obviously a major issue for me, as not only does the erupt do damage, it stacks bleeds and acts as a blast finisher, if it’s not erupting then it’s not doing those things

Has anyone else noticed this? Is it my imagination? A graphics issue my end? Is it even an intended mechanic?

Thanks

Any help/insight would be very helpful!

Intended. You must complete the bast bar. If you’re running Staff, ALWAYS complete your cast bars if you’re able to.

First of all I don’t get a cast bar for eruption. Should I be getting a cast bar? The only skill I get a cast bar for on staff is meteor shower.

Secondly, I’m pretty sure (like 85%) that my asura finishes their cast animation for eruption when it’s failing. But I shall double check in future and will see if I can get a video for it.

You should have a cast bar for the following skills while in Staff. Healing Rain, Meteor Shower and Eruption. Breaking the channel/cast bar on Eruption will cause it not to Erupt at the end of it’s animation dealing no damage, applying no stacks and procing no fields. Disrupting Meteor Shower during the cast/channel bar causes the amount of Meteors that rain down to vary depending on when you break it. Healing Rain will not cast if the cast/channel bar is broken before it finishes.

:o How weird. How do I get these cast bars to appear? It has only ever appeared for metoer shower for me since beta weekend 1
