Guild Wars 2

Fellow tinkerers, pyros, gun nuts and meth-heads, maybe you can help confirm my observations or even just prove that I’ve been hitting the elixirs a bit too much.

I’m currently running elixirs B, U and S… “BUS”… cause I’m that unstoppable! (haha) Anyway I’ve noticed two annoying things. The first one I am sure is a bug. The second one I have no idea about. It could be something in the fine print of one of my elixirs or traits that I just missed.

1. Elixir U simply does not proc sometimes. I press the button, the cooldown triggers and the animation / broken glass sound is there, but the effect is MIA. Pretty sure I didn’t see “chance of…” anywhere in the description.

2. During combat something causes my endurance to drain even though I did not dodge, It has to be linked to a skill or a trait that procs, I just haven’t figured it out. I find myself being unable to mitigate damage because of it since I’m expecting to be able to roll out of the way and can’t.

I was going to take some time to figure out #2 earlier but I forgot. Figured maybe someone knows off the top of their head.

God it took me half hour to type this out (on a 7" tablet and lying in bed)…

Not sure about the Elixir U not working, maybe a bug.

The endurance is most likely from the Elixir U, one of the RNG negative side-effects is lose all endurance.
Haste

I thought the only effect of elixir U on endurance is that it prevents you from being able to regenerate it for some time. I’m just basing that off of the tooltip. Didn’t know it could dump all your endurance

Drains all endo and cant regen.

see, and that solves your bug problem too!

elixir U functioning as intended.

No (random) effect and endurance drained.

/sarcasm

The Engie Tooltip is wrong but haste is from Thieves and their tooltip correctly shows lose all endurance and stop endurance regen.

anet ought to hire one person whose job (which they will hate) is to do nothing but update tooltips.

I actually suspect they removed Quickening Zephir from possible Elixir U effects, but left the 33,(3)% chance to proc it.

Well it ain’t iced tea in those elixir bottles…

Turns out it is Haste that is dumping my endurance. I never realized that before (I guess I focus on tooltips too much).

So #1 is definitely a bug then.

I had it happen too.

I was trying to add Elixir U to my build, but being buggy I just can’t take it.

Especially since they made it a stun breaker now, but it just doesn’t fit it. You ether stun break and maybe suffer 50% more damage or can’t dodge for while, or you get stun and just aborb it. I mean, other stun breaker (Elixir S) are so much better then this.
