Guild Wars 2

It seems like it sometimes goes on cooldown without healing me at at all.

It would appear that this only happens if the skill is interrupted while casting, the skill will go on full 30 second cool down without healing me. Also I was under the impression that nothing could hit you (and thus nothing could interrupt you) while you were using Shelter but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Guardian Greatsword #5. If it hits you, then you Shelter, and I use the pull effect during your 2s block, you are interrupted and you dont get healed. (among other skills that can also do similar effect)

Thanks, that’s good to know. But why the full 30 second cooldown and not the normal interrupt cooldown?

ArenaNet doesn’t want players constantly using then interrupting the ability themselves to get extended blocking. The same principle applies to Renewed Focus (goes on full cooldown and doesn’t renew virtures if you interrupt it). Both of these abilities and any similar ones definitely need re-examined with regard to interrupting them.

That makes a lot of sense, thanks.
