Guild Wars 2

I know that profession bugs are to go to the game bugs forum, but I feel something this major needs to be noticed by other engineer players

Not much to say, beyond: Gee, I sure wish I could buff myself.

Tossed elixir boons only prioritize self if in a party as of a post 9/9 patch. Most of the time, they go to targets at random now, even when you’re in the impact radius

Broken with any elixir related traits or not. Confirmed on both my Charr and low level Human engineer, PvP, PvE.

I sure would like stability back.

Most AoEs only affect five people so you might be giving five of the people you’re stacking with the boons but not yourself. You’ll have to get 4 other people together to test it properly.

I thought it’d be pretty apparent that’s exactly what was going on, without saying.

That should not be happening. It never worked this way in the past, and there were no patch notes to suggest any sort of change. It just started doing this randomly one hotfix patch after the 9/9 feature pack.

Again: Being in a party, even with just one other causes the toss elixir effects to suddenly prioritize yourself as it always used to.

It seems to me that something accidentally screwed up the priority list for these skills.

Bump…

Considering that this affects everyone who uses elixirs, including HGH buffing, I’m astounded that no one’s noticed this, or at least commented on this yet.

You should report it to the bug section of gw2 forum. They deal with the problems you post. They fixed the engineer item eating bug on swapping kits when I posted it there.

We have. At least I know I have participated in threads on the matter already this week. To be fair though, I am under the impression that elixir builds are not particularly common at this point in time.
