Guild Wars 2

So I’ve been playing around with static discharge lately.

And it feels inconsistent as kitten. Sometimes it shoots immediately, not in the target’s direction, other times it doesn’t shoot before a second later, and sometimes it doesn’t shoot at all.

All on the same skill I’ve used to test with. (Surprise Shot on 8s cooldown).

What gives? Is there an internal cooldown on the thing? It doesn’t say.

dath wot ah said ! anet fix dis shet plez !!! static discarg nid wurk with elixr bilds

It basically only works with single-target toolkit skills. With any aoe or pbaoe, it’s too slow and too inaccurate to ever hit.

Also, it’d be awesome with Throw Wrench, but it takes up the same trait slot as the Toolkit trait…

I’m also not 100% sure they fixed the skill queueing issues that existed for years.

Overall, seems like a wasted trait because it doesn’t work with half the skills.

You have to pick specific skills if you want to trait SD… so many wasted opportunities
