Guild Wars 2

Well, as you probably imagine, I’m playing a classic/basic signet auramancer Build. Something like this :

(I didn’t bother to show weapon because anything can do the trick)

My problem, here is that since last patch it seem that when I’m interrupt while using a signet, I lose the passive effect despite having “writen in stone”. Is this something new? Or is this the first time I’m aware of this issue? This issue is really bothersome but maybe It was here before. Did someone know anything about this or is this a new bug?

I’m pretty sure this is a known issue, but I wasn’t aware it was effecting all signets. I only noticed it on Signet of Air … but I wasn’t paying that close of attention. Usually reactivating the signet will get Written in Stone working again. Still a nuisance.

I would say probably intended, as you aren’t actually activating the signet, it’s getting interrupted. The activated action happens after the skill is fired (see when the fire aura is applied).

What’s more annoying is that signets (an I assume most cast skills in general) cannot be cast backwards in anticipation of your foe being in front of you when they go off as the skill will fail an go on cd (the target check happens when using the skill not at the end of the skill where it should). What’s more annoying then that is if you have no target the signet will still give you a fire shield (and buffs) before going on cd.
