Guild Wars 2

Hey so I’ve noticed a potential bug when using the F3 virtue shield of courage. As I tend to jump in wvw circles to contest and buy time I usually rely on this block to keep me alive. However, ive noticed that when I combine this block with f2 leap or gs 3 leap the moment I go airborn I am downed. This seems to me that the block is not taking effect during this phase.

Now sometimes this may be just an unblockable hit, however if that is the case I would be downed using shelter sometimes as well. However ever time I down during anything 1v20 its the moment I combine F3 shield and a leap. Also I tend to leap in place to avoid exposing my back from the wall so it is not damage that is simply going around the shield. I am also generally maintaining over 3/4 hp by the time I use the leap, 1 random unblockable would not hit over 20k. —I wouldn’t bother writing this but I go down the instant I touch the leap which screams something is off.

Ill work to confirm this but for now everything is pointing to the frontal block not taking effect during a leap. (As soon as I find a few 20 mans to bash on me for a bit.)

F3 block only frontal attacks if you jump away with F2 from your target you will die. But there are lots of bugs related with f2,3. They are just downgrades of normal F2,3.

^I leap in place with my back to the wall of the tower. This keeps my shield forward facing.
