Guild Wars 2

When in water and swapping to bomb kit, I am getting some odd animation that looks like a big blob of brown . . . . .

Then the kit is on cooldown for 60 seconds which should never happen.

Anyone seen this?

Sounds like you have slick shoes slotted instead.
Double check your utilities while underwater.

if the engis start to fumble up their control pads, all of Tyria goes to kitten^^

Exactly. It acts like slick shoes but most definitely is the bomb kit.
Will have to screen shot it.

Guess, I am the only one bugged out. Typical!

Check to see if you have something on autocast while on a specific kit. I somehow had my supply crate set to auto cast only while in grenade kit and whenever I would entire water and swap to that kit it would drop supply crate instantly. Took me a bit to figure out what the hell was going on.

How do you even do that EvilSardine?

As for OP’s question, are Slick Shoes equipped in the same slot on land as your underwater BombKit? I’ve noticed interesting cooldowns when entering/exiting water on utilities. For instance, if your Slick Shoes are on cooldown and you go under water, your Bomb Kit might be “on cooldown” and glitch somehow.

Nope, I never ever ever use slick shoes.
Yes, it seems to happen on entering water only.
It does seem to happen if BoB is on cooldown or if I have another tool belt skill on CD.
Will have to check if it bugs when I have HT on cooldown.

Only applies when after entering water with something on cooldown on the left side of the panel (weapons and toolbelt abilities) and then swapping utility kits (e.g. typically e gun to bomb or grenade to bomb).

Odd as it really messes with me when it happens. Can’t say it is 100%.

How do I check if I have something on autocast while in a specific kit?

Perhaps the underwater bomb version of kit refinement?

In this image you can see the number 1 attack skill is set to auto cast because of the yellowish arrows surrounding the ability:

To turn off autoattack (which everyone should do to be honest) just CTRL-Click on the ability. Any ability can be set to auto attack….even an elite. It just uses the ability as soon as it’s off cool down. You can only have ONE ability set to auto attack.

For the engineer, you can set this differently for every kit that you’re on. Mine somehow was set for my elite to auto attack while underwater in grenade kit but with no other kit. I was confused as to why my elite was dropping when I entered water combat….heh.

Ah I see. Due to only being able to have 1 autoattack at a time, and since you turned your underwater grenade auto off, you must have accidently clicked auto on your elite. So whenever you had anything but your grenades out, that kit or weapon had autoattack and took precedence. The minute you swap to grenades, the auto on your elite took precedence.

Big ol’ bomb (Bomb kit toolbelt skill) has considerably longer activation time than the tooltip says underwater. The activation times seems to be closer to 2 seconds, which really blows.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the bomb kit has some glitches underwater.
