Guild Wars 2

Is there a problem with Tidal Surge and Cyclone? Mostly these skills seem to have no impact at all on the defiance bar. Seems like the pull/knockback is just not triggering. Been noticing this in fractals. I’ll admit I haven’t noticed if it works elsewhere.

it works, but its delayed and can also miss
and doesn’t do a lot of damage to the bar in the first place
both combined is about as strong as gale, or weaker

How does it miss with a big boss standing right next to it! Sounds like it is buggy. But anyway, yes, sounds disappointingly feeble for 2 hard cc skills.
