Guild Wars 2

Ever since the patch has been out, Elixer U has not been activating every time I use it. Regardless of whether the buff is put onto my character, the cooldown still triggers. It’s seemingly unpredictable, and it happens about one in every five times. Please, PLEASE look into this, as Elixer U is one of the Engineers’ few Burst tools, and many builds hinge upon it. I went to check if anyone else had this problem and sure enough, I found a few other post-patch bug reports of this same issue.

I’m having the same problem as well.

I have the same problem. Really annoying and its not as if this class isn’t riddled with enough bugs.

It gets old being the red headed step child that Arena net locks in the basement and ignores.

Yes everybody has this problem. It’s a bug, I guess we need to wait 3 months untill it gets fixed.

I normally use elixir u for the fractal legendary shaman boss, and this is indeed an issue that Iv’e noticed that happened quite often. Even the throw skill is bugged hard core.

Check it in SPvP and if it’s bugged there as well, then post it as a bug in the SPvP forum – you’re far more likely to get a rapid response posting there than here.

Never had that problem. Elixir U is on one of my builds that I run a lot with, always reliable whenever I need it unless interrupted. Maybe you could simulate how it happened, reconstructing the conditions/situation…

It’s just u are interrupting the effect, it’s happening to me too, for some reason if I use some other skill too early after use the elixir, the effect may not occour and the skill goes on cooldown anyway;
to avoid any bug, make sure to start attacking only when the quickness actualy appear.
