Guild Wars 2

Is this a bug, because I’ve noticed for a while now that when equiping the Med Kit while in PvP (works in Heart of the Mists, too. IDK about WvW) you will always apply either apply burning, vulnerability or 3 stacks of bleed or all three to an enemy. I can’t find a trait that would do this except for Streamlined Kits, but I run Explosives, Firearms, and Inventions, so that can’t be what’s causing it. So is this a bug or am I missing something?

You propably run geomancy runes, so weapons switch triggers the rune(3 stacks of bleed), which crits and triggers incendiary powder(burning) + a source of vulnerability(heavy armor exploit or sigil of frailty i.e.).

Equipping the med kit counts as using a heal skill, equipping a kit, AND switching weapons for procs. In addition to what was posted above, burning could come from Balthazar runes.

Didn’t that change with the june 23 patch? At least it doesn’t count with out traits. I think it counts as a weapons swap, but it no longer counts as a heal skill.
