Guild Wars 2

Am I going crazy, or does using “Hold the Line” while CC’d provide (About 10 seconds) Vigor?

I’ve noticed myself getting Vigor with no interaction with anything else (No crits proccing Vigorous Precision, no usage of other Vigor gaining abilities) when using “Hold the Line” while knocked down.

Is this intended or am I getting free Vigor from a bug/another (Unknown to me) source?

Looking at the tooltip and the Wiki page there’s no reference to gaining Vigor on use when CC’d.

Do you have Pure of Voice on? Because when removing certain conditions, such as bleeding, HtL will give you vigor.

edit:
I also noticed since the PoV buff (bug fix) HtL seems to sometimes change an extra boon randomly (the same rate at which it used to remove 2), this leads me to believe that their may be a piece of code that’s just wrong somewhere.
I haven’t tested it so this is purely observation which could defnitely be wrong.

No Pure of Voice being utilised.

That said, after more usage I’ve noticed it converting Conditions into Boons without Pure of Voice.

Seems like it may be a bug with it getting that trait as base (Thus the 2 Boons converted when using the trait)

Even then, it still doesn’t make sense that I get Vigor when using it when knocked down (With no conditions on me)

Yes, “Hold the Line!” is bugged and converting conditions to boons without any traits or runes. It’s been bugged since the patch that fixed Pure of Voice.
