Guild Wars 2

I made this post over in the thief forum as well.

I main a Mesmer, and since the patch, a lot of Mesmer skills seem to be oddly sluggish. Things just aren’t activating and responding as quickly as they used to. Apparently thieves have been noticing this too.

Have you guys seem this at all?

Yes, it seems like about .2-.3 seconds which most people wouldn’t notice probably, but it’s been mentioned a few times by myself and other guild members. We figured it was just a stealth nerf :P

I have noticed this too, especially with stun breakers, but normal skills are also affected. I can’t chain my skills as smoothly as before.
Maybe it has something to do with the Flame Wall and Shatter Stone bugs

Unlikely to have anything to do with those bugs, this is definitely a cross class issue.

I have been feeling irritated with some skills not “flowing” like they used to. I have also noticed this on attunement change, sometimes I will be trying to hit Shift 1 (change to fire) then 2 – 3 in fire and will actually still be in earth :/.

Not to mention that for some godforsaken reason I keep getting stuck in chat. I assume its something to do with the shift click mechanics, if only I could disable it. I don’t need to link skills in pvp. And I’m not sure if I’m clicking skills out of habit or if this is randomly linking when trying to use skills quickly.

Well, the way I see it, the Shatter Stone bug is caused by a problem with how the skills queue. This slugginess seems to have something to do with that too, so the Shatter Stone and Flame Wall bugs could be an extreme case of this.
Note that this is all speculation, I don’t know anything about how this game is coded after all.

probably server lag
