Today while fighting a necro I noticed something strange that may or may not be a bug, that’s why I’m here lol. Necro popped staff n°5 and I accidentally walked into it, as soon as mark triggered protection and stability instantly appeared. Now I can understand protection since I use “Protection Injection” but I’m a 3-kit power engi, no stability in any of my skills or traits (4/4/0/2/1).
Another thing is I’ve been pulling people off walls with toolkit “Magnet” skill, hit them with pry bar and then they appear again over the wall. It’s strange cause I get to hit them haha
That’s all folks

about the first incident:
necro staff #5 afflicts fear normally, and since you already have spend some points in the alchemy trait-line, most like transmute condition (3 points minor trait) kicked in and converted it. every condition gets directly converted to a specific boon if it kicks in and fear happens to be always transmuted into stability.
One of the reasons why I purposely like to run in necro lines

incident 2:
desynchronization between your client and the server. Most likely the player did not even receive the dmg on his end, nor got actually pulled down. That can happen when an evade does not get submitted properly and therefore the system behaves strange.

Only other possibilities are:
thief – shadowstep back to safety
mesmer – portal back to safety

Did you had 3+ points in Alchemy? Because then you have the minor trait Transmute which converts every 15 seconds a condition that’s applied to you into a boon:

Fear would be converted into Stability, so you properly run into a Fear mark.
