Guild Wars 2

Already submitted via /bug in game, but figured I’d share with all of you:

Mortar Kit’s #1 attack does regularly proc Steel-Packed Powder (which only procs from “explosive” skills) but never procs Shrapnel (“never” = not once in ten minutes of testing). Kind of a bummer, as much as I’m loving the new Mortar Kit.

I don’t think Shrapnel is working at all..

Oh hey, now it works!

Shrapnel and explosive powder work with all explosives except the mortar kit (not sure if the aim-assisted rocket is activating shrapnel, but explosive powder works with it) . Pretty sure it’s a bug considering they said these traits would work with the mortar kit on the livestream.

Yeah I noticed this myself that it is not proccin’g shrapnel. Please fix soon Anet. Otherwise LOVED THE PATCH

Yeah seems bugged.

Shrapnel needs a redesign anyway, at the moment the 15% proc chance is balanced around nade kits multiple hits, this makes it quite underpowered for other explosive skills (like mortar and bomb).

They should up the chance and add a 0.5 sec internal cooldown, that way it will be just as good on mortar as nade kit and we might be able to use Mortar as a condi spec.

The entire.expl line is based around nades balance, i feel thr same. Although. 5 cd is too low.
